<p>I'm applying to Georgetown's FLL program and I was wondering if anyone know how many students are in it?
Also, I read somewhere that you need a foreign language teacher's recommendation if you apply for FLL. Is this true? Because, I definitely didn't...and it would be a huge mistake because I currently have my language teacher for four years straight and I have the highest grade in her class for all these years. I'm nervous now.</p>
<p>Anyway, your answers will be appreciated!</p>
<p>It absolutely would have been a great idea to get a letter of rec from your language teacher, however it is not required. You should try sending one in now, anyways, even though it's a bit past the deadline. I don't think it would hurt. I don't think they penalize you for a teacher being late on sending something in -- that's how they would see it.</p>
<p>Would it be seen as negative if Georgetown receives three teacher recommendations? I believe my English and Astronomy teachers have already sent in their recommendations.</p>
<p>hmmm...well if youve already sent in two, then im not sure. georgetown only asks for one, but I sent in two as well. I suggest you call the admissions office, in that case, or talk to a regional rep. If those two you already sent are really good, then I don't think it's necessary to send in the third.</p>
<p>The FLL is pretty small compared to the other schools, but is a decent size. I think I heard that at least 25% or more of students in the College have at least one major or minor in the FLL (since a lot of people minor in a language). I don't know what you want to major in, but Linguistics has a little over 80 undergrad majors in total, there are a ton of Spanish, French and Arabic majors, and other majors are much smaller, like Russian, Portuguese, German, and Comparative Lit, with probably about 20 undergrad majors. </p>
<p>If you are planning on doing a language major, I would think the most important rec you could get would be from a language teacher (unless you're deciding to start up a different language than the one you've already taken). If you're going for linguistics or comparative lit, it wouldn't matter so much(and the English teacher rec would be fine). </p>
<p>And no, you won't be penalized for sending in extra recs.</p>
<p>I thought it was required. Either way, I'd suggest sending it in.</p>
<p>Thanks for your responses. I contacted my college counselor and he suggested that I send in my language rec as well. I'm considering to major in Comparative Lit and possibly Chinese.</p>
<p>Not that I have anything useful to contribute to this discussion, but... dragonreborn? As in, Dragon Reborn? As in Rand al'Thor and Robert Jordan, may he rest in peace?</p>
<p>I love it. But correct me if I'm completely off-base.</p>
<p>Haha you're right. Dragonreborn as Rand Al'Thor. I read the Wheel of Time several years back and thought the name sounded really cool. =)</p>
<p>For FLL do they take a specific number in for each language, or does it fluctuate? I applied for Japanese, which is, I'm guessing, not as popular as Spanish or something.</p>
