<p>Does any one know if there are statistics out that there say that your chances of getting into an Ivy League are increased if you can speak multiple languages??</p>
<p>The effect would definitely be confounded with other variables.</p>
<p>Bump. I'm interested in this too.</p>
<p>That's like saying that your chances multiply if you have a pet. It's too objective to make a "real" change in your decision. If you're a great high schooler otherwise, well enough. If you've been a slacker all your life, knowing Mandarin isn't likely to sail you through.</p>
