  1. Hello! I m currently a second year undergraduate at a T30 public university on the west coast. I am hoping I can get some advice about planning for grad school while in undergrad. I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, so if not, please let me know. I am wondering when most grad schools expect their language requirements to be met. Of course this varies, but I am currently not fluent in another language, I don't know if I will be by the end of University. I have done a year of french, and my reading skills are ok, but I didn't really enjoy my schools curriculum, so I have been self studying since the end of the last school year. I did about five years of Mandarin as well, but not too much success, I can speak, but can't read ver well at all. So my question is, will it look bad for applications if I haven't done extensive language studies in undergrad, and when is a graduate student typically expected to display reading ability in a foreign language? Should I consider starting another language fresh (for reference, Im not sure what area/period I am most interested in yet, but likely something W.Europe/N. America, as thats most of what my undergrad offers extensively), like German? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
