Serious academis querey chinspired by the Kaho situation

So whenever Kaho released his top 5 and we weren't on it it was said that there was a class he was required to have for UW that none of the other schools required. When we snuck back in it it was said we figured out how he could get the class in (which was obviously the class he had to take this summer).

Yet when academis come up we often hear people claim "UW uses the minimum NCAA requirements for PSAs, if they can qualify anywhere they can qualify here".

Obviously, this isn't actually the case. So my querey is two fold:

1. What class is this that Kaho needed for UW but for none of his other top schools?
2. What are UW's actual requirements for freshman

I understand we have different requirements for JUCOs because we don't accept PE credits, et al. That's not what I'm chinterested in here. I just want to know, for a high school graduate, what does UW require that the NCAA doesn't?

    UW require two years of foreign language. NCAA doesn't require it, though I'm guessing most other universities do, so probably moot. Not like he could fulfill that over the summer anyway.

    Good info. But what is it UW requires that all these other schools don't?

    He probably didn't get his second year of foreign language completed. You need three years or through like Spanish 103 to graduate. So in high school, a whole fucking year of spanish counts the same as one quarter at a community college. So Spanish 101 equals one year in high school. Spanish 102, same thing. Spanish 102 meets the requirements to transfer to UW. While at UW, you would still need to take Spanish 103 to meet the graduation requirements of UW. If your kid is at a CC, I recommend they take 103 to fulfill those requirements. If your kid is high school, I recommend they do that as well so they don't end up starting over taking three quarters of swahili at UW.

    Good call, I forgot one quarter = one year.

    You actually can get it done over the summer but you have to test out of 103 essentially. I did it once long ago when I transferred into UW.

    If this is why he's not coming here I question if we? are a serious football school. I'm sure there's a Chinese tutor that could have tested out of Mandarin 103 for him.

    He technically only really needs 102 to get in. He'd need 103 to ultimately graduate. I'd bet his academic adviser in high school dropped the ball with their schools obviously biggest football recruit, ever. The quarters here are super short, but honestly he probably took the course through like WGU where you can study at your own pace. Seattle CC's aren't out for summer quarter until 08/17/18.
