<p>On MSU's website, it says that you need 2 years of a single foreign language. My sophomore year I took German 1. I chose not to take the second year of FL and am now ending my junior year. However, MSU's site says this about course requirements:</p>
<p>"If you are lacking in one of these areas, it does not mean your application will not be considered. However, a less rigorous curriculum could put you at a disadvantage."</p>
<p>Will it hurt me significantly if I don't have the second year of FL? Will taking German 2 over the summer help even though it's not consecutive with my first year of FL? (I probably won't be able to take summer classes anyway).</p>
<p>Has anyone here been accepted to MSU without 2 years FL?</p>
<p>Posted this in another thread, FWIW… my son is an incoming fall freshman to Lyman Briggs. He did not have 2 full years of Spanish. He had to drop halfway through his second high school year due to scheduling issues. However, he had taken Spanish in middle school so at the time he dropped out he was in Spanish level 3 AC. He had a rigorous academic schedule outside of missing the last semester of Spanish, he had several AP and AC courses along with his high gpa and solid ACT scores. </p>
<p>As others have noted, with the high volume of applicants MSU is now attracting they can be more particular in their selection process. I would think taking German 2 would be helpful to you and better to have it out of sequence that not have it at all. </p>
<p>Some kids at my son’s HS took online FL courses or courses at local CC to squeeze it in prior to applying to universities. </p>
