Placing out of foreign language requirement.

<p>I've seen AP Credit/Placement tables that generally allow students to place out of language requirements if they get a 4 or a 5 on AP Exams (6 or a 7 on IB) and occasionally a 760+ doing the trick on the SAT II. I can't seem to find such a chart for Columbia, but I'd imagine it hold true.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any definitive evidence either way?</p>

<p>It would be much appreciated, thanks.</p>

<p>Yes, you can AP out of the language requirement here w/ a 4 or a 5 on the AP.</p>

<p>Is it possible to place out with the SAT II?</p>

<p>is it possible to place out if you’re fluent in the language but don’t plan on taking the ap test/sat II? i’ve heard there was a language placement exam you could take there at orientation… is that true? thanks!</p>

<p>Yes, you can take a language placement exam. All the dates and locations are going to be in your schedule that you get at orientation. Some languages will require you to speak with a person in the department to completely place out of the language requirement after you demonstrate your ability on the test.</p>
