Second Language- English

Though many top candidates will fall under this category, how important is it for college officials that ‘English is your second language’ ?? a plus or negative?

<p>any ideas?</p>

<p>other thoughtS?</p>

<p>well...any other thoughts?</p>

<p>I hope it's positive.........Im technically second language english speaker so yea........although I speak both language fluently</p>

<p>I don't see how it will down play your admissions chances, especially if you overcame that issue in a hard situation (moved around the world a lot, came to US during/starting highschool or sumthin like that) and still get good grades on english classes and CR/WR sections on SAT. That will definately stand out as positive I assume.</p>

<p>But than.....what do I know :) I am just an amature =D</p>

<p>Lots of internationals have very high cr scores, so I'd say it couldn't help much.</p>
