wow great! michigan takes quite a few waitlists ! thats good to hear
[/quote]
</p>
<p>They did last year, but that followed 3 years of taking almost no one off the waitlist. You really can't take one year and generalize it to what Michigan typically does--at least not when it comes to the waitlist.</p>
<p>No, they require 4th semester language. You can look in the online bulletin under the degree requirements. Perhaps it's different for Ross or Kines, but that's what it is for LSA.</p>
<p>That's what I thought, 4 semesters. </p>
<p>I think I should test out of at least 4 semesters of Chinese... but that or easy grades... >_></p>
<p>When it says "2 years" of foreign language, it means two semesters. Trust me, I, as well as others, have been accepted into the university after only taking two semesters of Spanish.</p>

<p>We're talking about two different things then.</p>
<p>It's a min requirement of 2 years of a foreign language in HIGH SCHOOL. What we were talking about was the graduation requirement, which is 4 semesters of a foreign language.</p>
<p>jxu, please go back and reread, I think you misunderstood. We are not talking about how much language you must take to get accepted (they don't have a cut and dry requirement on that, only recommendations). We're talking about how much is required to get your Bachelors degree from the University of Michigan. If you go here:</p>
<p>you will see that it most definitely a "fouth term" requirement. If you elect the accelerated courses you could complete it in only 3 semesters (by taking first year in Fall, second year in Winter, and an advanced course in the following Fall), but it is impossible to complete it in 2 semesters. The only way you can do it in less time is to test out of the second year courses.</p>
<p>Okay CVJN, we replied at the same time which tells me we're both spending our mornings here today....don't know about you, but for me it's an attempt to delay the inevitable (an Art History paper about Kelsey Museum).</p>

<p>;) I'm delaying... uh... Calculus II suggested homework. Basically studying for finals I have in about a week. I told myself I wouldn't do this, but <em>sigh</em> never works</p>
<p>I'm also playing Pokemon Fire Red again in preperation for Pokemon Diamond. </p>

<p>Ah, my mistake guys. Sorry for postponing the work you two are obviously looking forward to. ;)</p>
<p>for LSA it's fourth semester proficiency!</p>
<p>On the language requirement needed to graduate, it is what Michigan considers proficiency to a fourth semester college level. You take a test during Summer orientation. My son placed in third semester French, so he needed two semesters to fulfill his graduation requirement. You can test out completely, or, if you really bomb the test, you'll need all four semesters.</p>
<p>^ adding on to that, only a few languages are selected to be able to test out during orientation</p>
<p>Languages like Chinese aren't included.</p>
