World Language

<p>Has many students been accepted at MSU that did not take 2 years of a world language but received a 30 on the ACT and has a 3.7 GPA? Any thoughts? The student has taken and will take Ap and Honors classes. Will be dual enrolled in the fall. This student is a Junior.</p>

<p>Are you asking if you’ll be accepted, with your stats, even if you haven’t taken two years of language study?

<p>If I remember correctly from one of MSU’s admission presentations, not every school district (i.e. more rural areas) offers the required classes. If your school district doesn’t offer foreign language, I believe they are willing to work with you on that requirement. </p>

<p>If your school district offers foreign language and you chose not to avail yourself of that opportunity, I’m thinking you may want to consider taking a class over the summer and getting that requirement in. Try talking to your school counselor and see if they can suggest online classes to prepare you for second year foreign language in the fall.</p>

<p>It might be best to just give someone in MSU admissions a call while you could still adjust your senior year schedule.</p>

<p>My son has a 3.8 gpa, 28 ACT and been accepted to MSU - Lyman Briggs, Academic Scholars and did not have the full 2 years of HS foreign language. Several AP and AC classes, lots of extra curriculars.</p>

<p>Due to scheduling issues he dropped Spanish in 10th grade after taking 1.5 years in HS. However he had also taken Spanish in 8th grade so at the time he dropped he was in Spanish 3 AC (but only completed the first semester of 3 AC). </p>

<p>You could consider taking a foreign language through a local community college. I think having made an effort and having atleast one year would be better than none.</p>

<p>Looking beyond the language requirement to get accepted, be aware that many majors require X number of foreign language credits in college. Just something to think about.</p>
