Hello. So, two things regarding this whole situation. Firstly, I am hoping to go into a computer science major. I am part of the class of 2021. Right now I planned a lot of hackathons or coding competitions and ways of improving my city. Right now those are all cancelled as a result of the coronavirus. Also, I planned a lot of community service as well, but the events I was planning to do got cancelled as well. Would colleges be understanding of this entire situation when I apply with a less impressive application due to many of the events I planned to do, being cancelled? Also, as an Asian American, would that have an impact (due to the large amount of anger towards China and all since it is believed the virus originated there).
