<p>LOL I took German in high school and I got in, but I dunno...that professor's probably full of it. There is a recommended high school curriculum which can be found here: <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/applying/1_2a1_acaprep.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/applying/1_2a1_acaprep.html</a>. There's nothing that's required though. For transfer applicants, Stanford wants a certain number of transferable units in terms of coursework, but that's about it. I'd definitely suggest talking to the admissions department for any specific questions, though.</p>
