<p>Hello, I'm graduating college this May and I'm looking to apply to the jan. Semester at rutgers. I'm graduating with a management degree so I want to know what remedial german courses I need to take. I studied german in hs and I really fell in love with the language. I scored high on the foreign language exam. My college did not offer german so I was lost most of my skills in the language. But hey it's never to late to do anything. Also does anyone know if the GRE Is require at rutgers. I'm not that great of a test taker so I hope that doesn't stop me from admission. Also is there a language exam required. If someone can help me with this, I would appreciate it.</p>
<p>Are you look at the MA or PhD? You need to look at their language requirements. If you have forgotten quite a bit, you might want to consider doing intensive courses in Europe or the US this summer to catch up and take a college course near you in the fall. You’d probably have to be at lest in fourth year German to be qualified. High School German is equal to first year German.</p>
<p>Ich hab’ auch Deutsch in der Hochschule gestudiert. Actually, the fourth year AP class was equivalent to my college’s third year, and I was placed in G400 as a freshman.</p>
<p>Naturally, the best way to prepare for your tests and whatnot is to live in Germany for a while. If that isn’t possible you should take tickle’s route and take an intensive course or two. Litmus test: if you can read a novel in German and follow a conversation on television, you’ll be in good shape.</p>
<p>Ok. Thanks guys. I will take your advice. I’m going to take a year of german from basic to advanced at rutgers and then study abroad to immerse myself in the language.</p>
<p>I never could keep those prepositions straight. Considering I haven’t spoken a word for several years, and probably never will again, I’m happy to remember enough vocabulary to construct that sentence, albeit imperfectly. My apologies for having the memory of a mere human.</p>
<p>It wasn’t so much the preposition that bugged me but the word that doesn’t exist.</p>
<p>I am sorry for putting you on the spot. But that sentence followed by the comment that you were placed in 4th year German as a freshman was just too tempting… <em>Won’t happen again</em> Will you accept my apologies? </p>
<p>P.S. Feel free to pick on my English in return.</p>
<p>Ah yes! Strangely enough, it was the preposition that caught my eyes immediately. I was like, “huh?” And your written English is perfect, no need to. Hahaha</p>
