Speak multiple languages on application
Started by itscoldoutside2018
Pretty sure yes, if I remember right. But then again, it was also 2 years ago that I applied.
I did talk about it in my PS though, because it applied to what I was discussing (did translation services in a hospital I worked in).

Toofteef is right. I just wanted to add that I thought they overdid it a little on their choice of languages by listing a couple that literally NO PERSON LEFT ON EARTH speaks, like Sumerian and Protoslavonic. No achievement is too lofty for a truly qualified applicant.
Depending on what u speak, and where u apply, this can be considered a great asset which will set u apart from the rest of the pool.
culturae nostrae nunquam destruitur propter figuras qui adfligebant
This is stretching my grammatical knowledge here but, "our cultures never destroy those that we vanquish?"
It's the google translate version of "our culture will never be destroyed by the oppressors".
I married into a Spanish speaking family and I can understand quite a bit, but my Spanish frankly sucks when it comes to speaking. I would put myself at an intermediate level, is that going to be sufficient for clinicals or should I really work on brushing up. Also, do you know if they will throw out a random person at interviews to see how fluent you are?
If you can hold a conversation (your grammar doesn't need to be perfect), I think you are fluent enough. It never hurts to brush up on your Spanish and learn more, though.
In regards to them "testing you" - that's DEFINITELY possible. At my UCLA interview, the girl who interviewed before me spoke spanish, and her interviewer did too, so they ended up conducting the interview in Spanish lol. Obviously this is just one example, but it can definitely happen.
Were you expected to answer in spanish? Lol
They can ask whatever they want if it's not too personal. When they found out I had a music background, the director of admissions asked me in front of the interview group to name the sharps in a key signature he gave me.
My interviewer said he wanted to get a piano just to see if everyone that said they could play actually knew anything. That's funny that they tested your theory knowledge!
