Foreign language requirement?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>Is there a foreign language requirement? I know usually it’s 2 years in high school, but someone was saying it’s 3… and that’s kinda scary cause I’ve only done 2 and my intended major would be engineering if I got in…</p>

<p>According to princetonreview.com: <a href="http://princetonreview.com/college/research/profiles/admissions.asp?listing=1023917&ltid=1&intbucketid=%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://princetonreview.com/college/research/profiles/admissions.asp?listing=1023917&ltid=1&intbucketid=&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>3 years of foreign language. They probably won't reject you just for that, though.</p>

<p>did anyone get accepted with less than 3 years of foreign language credits?</p>

<p>omg I'm freaking out now.... Like if I had stayed at my old high school I would've taken 4 years.. but I decided to do to TAMS (texas academy of math and science) and we mostly take math and science classes... and they're all college level, so I didn't really plan on taking Spanish again there.</p>

<p>Stop freaking out, it's ridiculously.</p>

<p>Almost everyone says **** like three years of language, however, colleges dont reject students because you felt two years was sufficient. If you take a sufficient range of difficult courses that's all that matters at Brownjust like any other. Princeton Review info is half ********, especially with things like required courses-- no school I know of actually HAS that, and if they did, it certainly wouldnt be Brown, which wouldnt stop you from never taking a course that involve writing a word on paper if you didnt want ot take those classes.</p>

<p>I have not taken any foreign languages class in HS. Learning English as the 4th language, I really did not think it was necessary.</p>

<p>if it really bothers you just take it over the summer at a local college.</p>

<p>taffyluchia, you don't count.</p>

<p>They won't reject you, I think. I took 3 years, but it was practically one year.</p>

<p>The second year was done online, and the third was basically independent study. I didn't get rejected so...</p>

<p>Stop freaking out. Brown looks for two types of students: specialized and well-rounded. That pretty much includes everybody, or, in my (maybe biased) opinion, the true cream of the crop.</p>

<p>And I heard every app gets read at LEAST twice--so therefore, there's no such thing as an automatic reject. Unless you killed someone or something like that.</p>
