Then of course, this is all accompanied by the usual honor societies and community service. </p>

<p>This is like THE FINAL FINAL chances thread for me. LOL. after this, the ADcoms will make my decision.</p>

<p>I’m hitting submit tomorrow. haha.</p>

3

<p>I believe huntsmn is pretty big on the language requirement so it’d be helpful for you to list how many languages you know and how fluent you are in each</p>

4

<p>Sure. I am fluent in three languages (four, if you count regional languages of India, but that is not offered as a target language)</p>

<p>I am fluent in French (learned for five years total - this will be my target language)
and Hindi (which is my native language) as well as English obviously.</p>

5

<p>obviously, I am more fluent in my native language. However, i’ve been advised against selecting that as my target language for huntsman. Do you think this is a wise decision?</p>

6

<p>hardworker which city in india are u from?</p>

7

<p>Well I am still a US citizen, I’ve lived here since I was six months old, but originally, my family is from Delhi.</p>

<p>What about u? I believe you are from there as well?</p>

8

<p>i am from india actually- mumbai. my advise would be DONT take hindi as your target language. they dont appreciate it at ALL.</p>

9

<p>yeah, i wasn’t planning too lol. Plus, i don’t write in hindi very well so that’d probably be a drawback. I intend to use french as my target language. best of luck to you!</p>

10

<p>same to you. hoefully we both can congratulate each other on the 12th of december. have u sent ur app in? i have. thats why just wondering whats ur huntsman essay topic and length?</p>

11

<p>Thanks Akki! I finally submitted mine TODAY.</p>

<p>I am so so so so nervous. Ugh. IDK. </p>

<p>And sure I wouldn’t mind sharing my topics, perhaps we can talk about our essays via PM? I think that’s better for the both of us…</p>
