<p>Will being trilingual be a bonus when applying for college? I'm not a minority, but I have learned how to speak 3 different languages. Is it worth mentioning on the application? Thanks.</p>
<p>Yes, of course! It’s impressive, especially if you’re fluent. All the more if you’re well read in the literature of cultures where the languages are spoken. I would bring it up in the application. And depending on your strength and interest in languages, it may be a good topic for an essay.</p>
<p>I think you should go for it… definitely mention it on your application. Being trilingual is something unique that will probably distinguish you from your peers. It also shows a passion for learning those languages- which will help your application, not hurt it. Just regard it at a “bonus” like you said, and don’t expect it to “carry” the rest of your application if the rest isn’t up-to-par.</p>
