<p>I don't know any Spanish and haven't taken any Spanish classes. How important is this to the application?</p>
<p>Highly recommended at UCLA; recommended at UCSD.</p>
<p>[Note: see correction to UCSD in post #6]</p>
<p>Not at all important.</p>
<p>Helpful? Yes but minimally so – and moreso in some areas/schools than others.</p>
<p>Not as important as English, that’s for sure.</p>
<p>I went thru many schools looking for requirements, I have never seen Spanish being required or recommended.</p>
<p>Here’s the link for UCLA:</p>

<p>I must be going crazy because I was looking at websites 2 months ago and have Spanish and Biochem as recommended by UCSD in my notes. But going to their website now, it’s not there, sorry for the misinformation, I will annotate my earlier post.</p>
