I was wondering how much my chances would improve if I am a WHITE kid who knows how to read, write, and speak Mandarin (Chinese). I also know how to read and write Spanish. Since Collegevine's admissions calculator doesn't have a feature to indicate what languages you speak (which would be a nice feature by the way😉), what percentage would I go up by?

foreign-language

I think knowing how to speak one language will increase your college admission chances, but two will definitely stand out to admissions officers. (Good job by the way.) Although this is a very amazing accomplishment, did you take Spanish 1, Spanish 2, etc. to learn these languages? I don't positively know if they will look at you saying you know these languages, as much as they would if you have proof that you learnt these languages with a certified instructor. Maybe if you incorporated these said learnt languages into an essay or some other form, it will stand out to admissions and increase your chances. Also, I don't believe anyone can give you a distinct percentage on how much anything can increase your chances. Hope this answer helped!

Thank you! I like your answer. I have taken Spanish in 7th grade, freshman year all the way to senior year. Do you think my chances would increase since I am a WHITE kid that knows how to speak Mandarin (which is very uncommon) compared to a Chinese American that knows how to speak English and Chinese with English being their first language?
In my honest opinion, I do believe it will definitely stand out, but I don't totally know if they take race into account. This is just my view of the situation, but if they see that you are exceptionally gifted in Mandarin and don't have a Chinese-related background, they will definitely keep an eye on you. Anyways, good luck! xx

Wow! That's very impressive and will definitely stand out to colleges. My suggestion is to take the AP exams for all the languages you are fluent in, even if you haven't taken the classes, or take the SAT Subject Tests. This will give colleges a chance to see your mastery, without you having to take a bunch of high school classes that won't fit into your schedule.
