<p>@bamd2014, what you have described sounds to me like three years of second language, and not two. My son did one year in middle school and one in high school. So his is considered two years.</p>
<p>I received an interview and they are interviewing 60 students.</p>
<p>@IBaTiger Are you IS or OOS?</p>
<p>Received an interview from VCU. Not sure how many applied this year. But 60 are being interviewed. Last year I believe 400 applications were received, 60 were interviewed.</p>
<p>Congratulations IBaTiger and shanny!!! Not sure of your stats shanny but IBaTiger with stats like yours I would have been very surprised if you didn’t get called for an interview. Unless you are totally awful in interviews you should be ok and will probably get a bunch of acceptances. You will have the fortunate but tough position of choosing where to go. Congrats!</p>
<p>@Wasian88 I’m IS
@Midhelper thank you! I really do appreciate you saying that. There’s sooo many great applicants on CC and I just hope we all find a place somewhere where we’ll be happy :-)</p>
<p>Rejected from TCNJ and VCU. Didn’t expect the VCU rejection but good luck to everybody else! It’s so nice to see everybody very supportive here :)</p>
<p>was just scrolling through some pages. hard to keep up when we are not the applicants. anyway, siena/amc and union/amc are 2 separate interviews. 2 chances to get into amc. someone wrote that their friend got northwestern interview. that is not true. it will start going out next week in batches as and when they finish the application review</p>
<p>@class1417 did your son apply early decision to drexel?</p>
<p>@HPMEMOM- thanks for clarifying re HPME. </p>
<p>Sorry to all who received bad news from VCU today. Good luck with other programs!!</p>
<p>“So she did spanish 2 and 3 in freshman, sophomore years.”</p>
<p>If they call it Spanish 3, that means it is the third year of Spanish when colleges look at it.</p>
<p>That may or may not be correct depending on the college. When I asked that question at college fairs, some say they do not count Spanish 1 taken in middle school. Some colleges say they will count it.</p>
<p>4beardolls, I’d check if the Spanish taken in middle school shows up on her high school transcript. IF it does then I think it would count. My dd took Algebra 1 in 7th grade and Geometry in 8th grade from certified high school teachers and they count. In fact we are warned before taking these classes that they will part of the high school gpa.</p>
<p>@4beardolls, if the way they approach this issue is the same as UMKC, they will give credit towards application requirements to high school courses taken in middle school but do not include those grades when they internally recalculate the applicant’s high school GPA.</p>
<p>“When I asked that question at college fairs”</p>
<p>I wouldn’t ask such questions at college fairs! Always get this in writing if there is a question to make sure they understand it correctly.</p>
<p>Colleges are not the ones designating the year, your high school/school district is. As long as the school transcript shows the middle school Spanish year 1 along with years 2 and 3, that is what colleges need.</p>
<p>Heiditree - our school district transcript high school level classes taken in middle but don’t count the classes for GPA.</p>
<p>in 2012 four students got accepted to uconn bs/md program.</p>
<p>texaspg, good point about getting these types of questions in writing.</p>
<p>@texaspg thanks.</p>
<p>@cresent OOS?</p>
<p>@Stnz14, no my son did not apply for early decision with Drexel, he applied early action to a very presitigous school (since he has his heart on BS/MD, early action means he does not have to commit if he is admitted) and it was deferred</p>
<p>Sorry to hear the bad news, and congratulations on the good news.</p>
