I started studying a less commonly taught language at the graduate level. Does the committee take this into account while reading the language evaluation?
Yes, the selection committee will take this into account with the language evaluations. Because all of our languages (with the possible exception of Russian) are less commonly taught languages, our committee does not necessarily prioritize the advanced level of language study. The selection committee looks at the applications in their entirety and wants to see strong grades and especially a strong desire and need for the target language for both your academic and future career goals after graduate school. • Q: I will be living abroad this summer, and therefore, I anticipate that my language skills will have improved by next fall. Should I make any notations about current language instruction or the fact that I will be living there this summer? How will this affect my language evaluation? A: You can mention the particulars about your summer abroad in your statement of purpose/essay. If you are applying for beginning language study for the academic year, you do not really need to submit
