I am applying to UPenn’s Huntsman program RD. As for the target language, do they select a certain number from each language? In other words, are there certain languages where I have a higher chance of being accepted? I am between Spanish and Japanese. I am fluent in Japanese, and am interested in this more than Spanish. However, I don’t have SAT subject tests or AP tests for this. For Spanish, I have 6 years of Spanish, and am currently taking AP Spanish, but I’m afraid there are many people that will select this as their target language. Any advice will be appreciated!
I’m no expert on this program, but I was planning to apply to it at one point and it was my impression that they try to get a balance between the languages studied if at all possible. Obviously, there are going to be a lot more Spanish applicants than Japanese applicants. However, the Japanese applicants may be more competitive than the Spanish applicants. So, I’d say just pick whichever language you truly want to pursue and don’t worry about it.
Would I still be considered even if a choose Japanese and do not have SAT II or AP Test to show?
