<p>I attended a learn to speak sanskrit camp this year. It was held over 2 saturdays for 8 hours each saturday. It was quite intensive. Is this even worth mentioning on a college application. I plan on taking sanskrit and achieving a minor in south asian studies If I am admitted to Princeton. Is this activity worth mentioning on a resume?</p>
<p>Of course - if you’re passionate about it, it’s worth mentioning.</p>
<p>Yea I have always had this interest but I could never find any classes that were free up until this year. I can’t afford to pay for anything like this.</p>
<p>i wouldn’t put this in your resume unless you also plan to talk about it in one of your essays. if it’s just on your resume, it will look like another of those ridiculous things high schoolers do to try to get admitted. however, if you talk about how you’ve always wanted to learn sanskrit and attending the workshop has made you realize how it’s something you want to pursue in college, it will be much more meaningful. i agree with dis-grace–don’t put it in unless you’re passionate about it. be authentic.</p>
