Mentioning proficiency in foreign language in college admission resume

Unless your daughter is somehow concealing her South Asian heritage in her applications (which would be tough to do unless she doesn’t appear South Asian, has a name that is not South Asian, and doesn’t have parents who were educated in India), I would only think that it would be an advantage to add her facility with Hindi to her application.

I really don’t think that any college would look at her and say that she is as less-desirable candidate because she’s South Asian as opposed to White, or because she’s fluent in Hindi. I think it can only help.
