[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congrats to the admits who got in without taking AP World Language. They will now have to take the UVA version of WL (if in the College of Arts and Sciences) which I have heard from my current 3rd year, was a class her first year friends dreaded!  It took up a lot of time, and was not easy. [/quote]Ive heard great things about the several language departments there. [/quote]

I am the previous poster. [b]I agree the language depts are amazing.[/b] My kid is majoring in one now. However, the lower level classes are a time suck, and the first years she knew taking it, were quite annoyed they didn’t get the AP credit to test out. [/quote]

Yes, they are. 24 languages are offered. https://college.as.virginia.edu/world-language-requirement-faqs.

My UVA kid was not happy about the UVA undergrad requirement (yes, he was accepted with four years of Spanish and most rigorous) and decided to try something new like Urdu but, in the end, picked German. That led to an amazing trip to Berlin with his German teacher and fellow classmates. [/quote]

Agree; the German department is AMAZING![/quote]
