[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This won’t help you, OP, and I really hope you get the waiver, but for my kid we purposely researched programs that did not require FL.  He’s a senior now and headed off in the fall.

I didn’t have a disability but struggled myself with FL back in HS and did the same back when I went to college.  There was no way I ever wanted to take another language again when I didn’t need to.

For others, I’d avoid if you can’t guarantee you are getting the waiver before applying. [/quote]

+1. I don’t think it’s common to waive a FL requirement in college and don’t see why they should/would. We prioritized this for DS. That said, I understand how you’d get to the place you’re at. When we tried to research disability support services on all the college visits, it was not easy to get more than generic “we’re so supportive, come see us after you’re in” type messages. Getting specifics before enrollment is tough. But now that you’re in you have the whole summer to work this out. Good luck! I think it’s very reasonable to know if they’re going to accommodate your needs over the summer and then you’ll have to decide what to do based on that.[/quote]
