Hi Mark,
I have a rather specific question regarding an internship that I am currently working for. It is at a NGO and I am receiving 8 credits from it that will show up on my transcript. However, I am not graded based on my performance at the internship, but on a thesis paper that I will be writing during the internship. My question is, how would I show this on my application, the fact that I had to write a fairly extensive thesis and has a set criteria for the grading of the internship?

Thank you for your time.

Dear Renee,
I just have a quick question about recommendations. If I am looking to gain acceptances into the top schools, will a faculty recommendation from an Assistant professor be looked less favorably upon or be given less credibilty than one from a full professor? Are they viewed in a different light by admissions officers?

Thank you very much Ms. Renee, all is clear now.

I will actually be majoring in business, specifically Finance and International Business. If I do major in German, then that will be a second major. My concern with minoring in both German and French is that would “minors” in a language be considered merely a dabbling level?

P.S. If I were to sign up for a pre-admission action plan, then which category of service would I be subscribing to?

Thank you again,

Michelle

Dear Ms. Post,
I am currently a sophomore at a top 20 university, and have a rather specific question to ask you about class selection. I took French in high school for 3 years, and was getting to be semi-fluent, but when I came to college, I decided on a whim to drop French and start taking German. Now as a sophomore, I can pick French back up by minoring in both German and French and be quadrilingual (I’m fluent in Chinese), or simply major in German and be trilingual and go beyond dabble. Which one would you think would be the more favorable route, aside from my personal preference, to be minoring and quadrilingual, or be majoring and tri-lingual?

Would you please also give some insight into your pre-admission program?

Thank you very much for your time,

Sincerely,
Michelle
