I hope you are right mimk6. My engineering son took upper level foreign language courses instead of freshman english and other survey courses, and I’m sure it was much harder to write essays or discuss history in a foreign language. But he wanted to hone his language skills, so he took them. And frankly, being with juniors and seniors in that major really pushed him to do more than he thought he could do. It would sure be nice if grad schools saw it that way too! :)</p>
