I am not a native Spanish speaker; it’s my third language after French. Languages are, however, my passion, and I plan on expressing that as much as I can (among other things). Neither of my parents speak Spanish (my dad speaks English, Arabic, and German…not exactly similar to Spanish :p), but fortunately many of my cousins do which has led me to pursue outside means of learning the language (as well as a desire to experience “Hispanic culture” as much as I could). I have become much more than proficient through my efforts, but I definitely did not grow up speaking Spanish in my household.

As for the art and instruments, I haven’t competed in any national competitions or anything but that’s just due to lack of interest. I have much more of an interest in composing things…I’ll be recording them in the fall. Depending on how that comes out, I may or may not submit a supplement. (how long/short would the songs CD need to be? Just time-wise).

Yeah, I am definitely planning on bringing up all my scores. I completely realize that being qualified for a top school is a package deal (URM or not). Thanks for the response !
