There are two situations here, which one is your daughter’s?
- she’s bilingual and speaks both English and Hindi fluently due to heritage language practice, Saturday school, travel, etc. Perhaps she even has an external accreditation showing her skill level. You treated this separate from learning a foreign language and she has foreign language credits on her HS transcript=> This is very good. Being bilingual is ALWAYS a plus, regardless of language.
- she’s bilingual and has not learned a foreign language in HS => this is more of a problem, depending on the college.
Being bilingual is not a “hook” nor is it going to tip her application from “denied” to “admit” (lots of competitive applicants speak more than English if they were given the chance to learn another language), but it is not an “anti-hook” and it is seen favorably, regardless of language.
