Huntsman Upenn: language test for rare languages?

Hi everyone! For applicants to the Huntsman programme who are doing languages where there is no SAT II test and have also not done an AP/IB/etc test in it (ones like Russian, Arabic, Portuguese) is it true that the people at Upenn send you their own test to do? Or would they just consider your application without any score that indicates your proficiency?

It says that they do send you a test on the website but I heard from someone that this was outdated and that they no longer do that - was hoping any recent Huntsman applicants or anyone else could confirm. Thanks so much

“Rare” is the wrong word; you mean less commonly taught (in the US, anyway)

Contact Huntsman, but my understanding is that they send you the department’s placement test and/or request feedback from your current language teacher, since the language is supposed to be one that you’re been studying recently. For Portuguese, though, the presumption is that Spanish fluency has laready been achieved.
