<p>my mom and i are russian and we speak russian at home. if i put that in my application, will i have a better chance of getting in, or not?</p>
<p>Being bilingual helps…but I don’t think it will significantly increase your chances.</p>
<p>Honestly, I say no. In any case, it’s not as impressive as being say white and learning German to the point of almost being fluent.</p>
