Can anyone comment on whether French and German are generally expected
before application, or will most programs allow you to make them up
after admission?

The exams aren't really that difficult. Rather than going through a program
of grammar review and memorizing vocabulary, I would suggest getting an
anthology and reading through it WITHOUT constant reference to a dictionary unless
truely needed.
I believe you have a period of time in which to pass the exams though my
memory regarding this is somewhat faint since I passed them on the first try when
I entered the program. I seem to remember that some were doing retakes.
