[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD for the more serious student.[/quote]
Hmm I know students there who are most definitely not serious students and [b]would never have gotten into UVA[/b] even if they were in state.

That's only because UVA likes to "check the box" for something silly like 4th year of foreign language or bypassing AP Lit.  Crucial for CS majors. [/quote]

Not for engineering and computer science. Additionally, there is no undergrad foreign language requirement at UVA for the BS in computer science [/quote]

Talking about acceptance into the school. Never mentioned a foreign language requirement for undergrads[/quote]

Not true - UVA cares less about an applicant coming having the four years of a single language if that applicant is clearly stem oriented and has exhausted the most rigorous curriculum in their respective field in the sciences. After all, Dean J has been clear that only two years of foreign language is required but four years is recommended. You can see this pattern in the ED and EA acceptances at UVA here this year and in Reddit and College Confidential. Four years is not a mandatory requirement [/quote]
