<p>Has anyone done the Chinese FALCON program and/or can tell me more about it? If I get into ILR, I am considering doing it either my sophomore year or junior year and petitioning to graduate in 5 years if need be. Has anyone done this or known someone who has who can tell me more about it? Does the Chinese FALCON program really work? I have no prior knowledge in Chinese--Mandarin.</p>
<p>I don’t think its that competitive if you have genuine interest.
I think this is the one where you go to China for the summer/semester and talk only Chinese the entire time.</p>
<p>i thought you just stay here and have chinese class all day and practice talking for 16 cr…</p>

<p>“Once FALCON students have finished the summer and fall terms at Cornell, they have the language skills necessary to benefit fully from a Chinese linguistic and cultural environment. FALCON’s full-year students spend their last semester in Beijing, where they continue to improve their skills and put them to effective use in daily life.”</p>
