<p>I see MIT thinks languages are important as well. May i ask a question as well? In my secondary school (grammar school, either ancient Greek or Latin is obligated) I have Latin. My GPA is 5,7 out of 10, 1 is the lowest grade and 10 the highest. This is even slightly a bit above the class average, but I rank third overall of my class. My class consist of 26 people, and my counselor pointed out the students of this school are amongst the top 2% of the Netherlands. My GPA was 7.3 (rank third) when counselor filled in my form, and 7.46 (probably second) at the moment.
Do many people in the US have Latin? And what would MIT think about this low grade. Will they appreciate my other languages and ignore my low Latin GPA?</p>
<p>I took Latin for six years and will do annual final exams in it. I got a 5.7 out of 10.
I took English for six years and will do annual final exams in it. I got a 7.9 out of 10.
I took Dutch for six years and will do annual exams in it. I got a 7.4 out of it.
I took Chinese for 3 years and will do annual exams in it (this course is actually 5 years long but I joined in later) 8.9 out of 10. I’m Chinese but I don’t speak mandarin, I speak a dialect and btw I live in Holland so that’s why I took Dutch.
I took French for four years and I will not do final annual exams in it.
I took German for five years, I quit and might do final annual exams in it, but I didn’t pointed this out.</p>
