Since there’s not as much information about this program (compared to Columbia College), it’s hard to tell who all gets in. I’m pretty sure the average ACT score for last year was 31/32, but I’m not sure what all they’re looking for. I write well and I’m sure my essays will be good. Also, I’m applying for a gap year for NSLI-Y in Korea for an academic year and I plan on applying to the Le Havre location. I don’t have any past French experience, but since I know Spanish well I don’t think it would be a huge problem, especially since I want to learn it as well. If you need more information about my stats or something, just comment and I’ll get it to you!!!
