I'm sure that it can't hurt to give Assimil a go.


I totally almost forgot about this resource. This is one of those Assimil's that really does everything right, funny, good acting, lots of vocab, doesn't progress too fast or too slow. You will learn German this way, with the downside that you won't learn much grammar (which may be requisite for the course you want to apply for).

On that front I'd recommend Teach Yourself German by John Adams. This is a great course, and you'll learn more from it in 3 months than you will in a year (2 semesters) at college. The downside: no audio!

Therefore, for my final recommendation I'd say Living Language Beginner-Intermediate (as was already suggested). You'll get grammar, dialogs, audio, and extra vocab. If you learn from this in the right way, you'll probably be top in your class.
