Chances of Getting in

[bouders]

Saying you have been to 11 countries could be considered presumptuous because typically that would require that your parents have a decent amount of money. It is less under the control of the student. It is potentially akin to talking about a fantastic expensive vacation that you took as a family.

Now that said, you may have a specific reason to talk about it. I am just explaining where the other posters are coming from.

Presumptous is not the same as bragging.

If colleges expect students to have studied foreign language(s), how is actually visiting a foreign country (or 11) a bad thing?
