[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I review undergrad apps at my university. I do not take applicants seriously that don't show a sincere enthusiasm for a foreign language. It doesn't disqualify you, but I'd much rather admit a student who has excelled in a foreign language than one who merely checked off a box[/quote] Why? What is the reasoning behind that? My kid has a fantastic aptitude for Math. She is really good at it and enjoys it. She took Engineering and Band as her electives. She just doesn’t enjoy learning a second language. But she does well in English. Seems silly to rule her out because she had to take French during virtual Covid school (which sucked)![/quote] Probably someone who came up through the humanities and thinks well rounded means x number of years of a language [/quote]
