<p>Hello everyone, I have a quick question about UC's a-g requirement list.</p>
<p>Under foreign language, UC requires 2 years of one foreign language but it recommends 3 years. Since Im not a big fan of language, I only took 2 years of Spanish, 1 year in high school and 2 semester courses at a local community college. And now Im wondering, if taking only 2 years will affect my chance of getting admitted into a UC university, does this bare mini. hurt my admission? any insights will be a great help.</p>
<p>It may (will) hurt you at Berkeley and UCLA. It won't at Riverside and Merced. At the other five, it's hard to say; it would depend on how "borderline" your application is in other respects.</p>
<p>So then the requirement actually counts years of foreign language, not class? Because technically i took 3 courses of foreign language and the two at the community college one counts as high school Spanish 1,2 and the other counts as high school Spanish 3,4.</p>
<p>Oh - got you, now. I'm not sure but I think that would count as 3 "years" of foreign language. I'm not sure how that would affect the admissions decision at Berkeley or UCLA. I doubt it would be a negative anywhere else.</p>
<p>yes! okay. thank you for the input. i'm glad to hear that. Although a potential problem with Berkeley/UCLA is a little unsettling, i'll just focus on other aspects of my qualifications, because, man i really do dislike language and taking one more Spanish class this summer would be very difficult for me.</p>
