I can't apply to Brown if I've taken only 2 years of foreign language???

Question

I gave up foreign language my junior year so that I could take 2 science classes instead. According to College Board, Brown requires 3 years of foreign language for admission. Any chance they'll see I have extra science classes and I can still be accepted?

Answer 1

Well, check with Brown directly.  They are a heavy liberal arts school, and most of them require three years of language.  If it is a definite requirement, say you'll take the third year in an accelerated summer session (if you can find one).  If everyone else has three years, you are at a distinct disadvantage, even if the school doesn't "require" it.  You would indicate your extra science in your essays, in any event.  

Answer 2

The College Board is retarded. Just apply. As if it'll honestly make THAT much of a difference. Extra science classes sounds better than learning verb tenses for another year.

Answer 3

no if they do require it they require it...college board might be wrong i would apply anyways..brown doesnt care if you have one extra science class many kids prob did have the same thing (have 5 science credits)

Answer 4

Take a third year online. The ivies want you to be cultured.
