Applying to College

<p>hey i have learned an uncommon language during summer 2 years ago completing basic 1 and basic 2 for 160 hours</p>

<p>now i'm in us should i start self studying it through online?</p>

<p>i am not doing this only for colleges, but would top colleges view this as very good or normal?</p>

<p>right now i speak 2 languages fluently and in spanish 3, goin to start learning another uncommon language.</p>

<p>but if i learn that language, should i learn one more language. i mean i would like to and i can easily manage it to fit it to my schedule on weekends. i'm talking aobut russian. i use to speak this as a child but now i forgot and i would like to start again.</p>

<p>but would colleges view this as, " this kid has no interest in these but he's just doing it for college. and why junior year when he did nothing during freshman and softmore years"/???</p>

<p>i mean now i'm more motivated than before in those stuffs. i would really like to learn it by myself, but if the ivy colleges like this of course i ll definitely start.</p>

<p>and for my major interests, im kind of science/ math person, but with a lot of international experiences. and ill major in science but minor in a language like russian when i go to college.</p>

<p>Don't worry about what colleges will think when choosing ECs like learning languages. If you really have a genuine interest in learning Russian, that will show in your application. Don't try to get in the heads of the admissions officers-- as cliche as it sounds, be yourself. Learn languages because YOU want to.</p>
