<p>if I speak French fluently after having taken many, many years of it in school, I would put that as a language I speak in the given section on the app, correct?</p>
<p>but if i'm taking the SAT French Language subject test, would it undermine my claimed fluency if I did not get a perfect score or diminish the impressiveness if I were to get a perfect score?</p>
<p>it just seems like a double-edged sword here. I know that the SAT is in english and people generally don't hit 2400 but it's just...... idk! difficult to say. </p>
<p>thoughts?</p>
<p>I have the exact same question, just with Spanish instead of French. Thank you for posing this, I am looking for an answer as well.</p>
<p>you should take more than 2 then. i.e. it should be the 3rd (or some other) that gives you a good high score, but it should not be the primary two you hope to relate. it is just a bad idea to only take 1 other besides French as it doesn’t give a good indication of your academic interests or abilities.</p>
<p>one caveat, if you wish that Spanish or French be an academic major at which point they offer a true quantitative affirmation of your fluency. i would still say another test (so 3 at the least) would be necessary to show you can do other subjects. and this works for any student interested in majoring in a language, i’d say.</p>
<p>but columbia only accepts two sat subject tests…?
i want a language + [math or physics] test to send them
i just don’t know if it’s a bad idea to put that i’m fluent in spanish, which i am, if i’m not sure i can get the score to back it up…</p>
<p>kid, they only require 2, doesn’t mean they wont accept more than 2. also considering there are some schools that require 3 it is not a bad idea to have 3. cu officially says that it will look at your highest two scores, but it doesn’t mean that having more than 2 doesn’t work. </p>
<p>and what happened with you being fluent in French. something is fishy here.</p>
<p>WHOA, sorry, not trying to be fishy. i was reading griffonrs and then yours said spanish…it got all mixed up in my head. i’m sure i seem like a likely columbia admit right now…</p>
