I’ve read that native speakers of Spanish and Italian may apply to the Portuguese program even if they have had no prior study of Portuguese. Do I have to take the oral proficiency interview (OPI)?

All applicants to the Lauder program are required to have an OPI. Native Spanish or Italian speakers who speak some Portuguese should test in Portuguese even though the rating will be low. Native Spanish or Italian speakers with no Portuguese should test in Spanish or Italian.
