| chances. original, i know. i'm just starting to get onto colleges now that my junior year is pretty much at a close. as for a little background, i was in an international school setting for my freshmen year and unexpectedly moved to california (i was pretty much told about this moving plan as i entered the second semester of my freshmen year), where i now attend a prestigious private high school. first language is english though because i lived in the states for the first 9 years of my life before moving abroad.
i'm probably applying early action to stanford.

Extra-curriculars:
Volleyball-- Varsity freshmen (different school), JV sophomore, JV junior (captain and coach's award), Varsity senior.
Basketball-- JV freshmen (different school // captain and coach's award), discontinued in new school but decided to play in a competitive league of churches. currently co-captain of the team and will carry that onto next year.
School Business-- Office Manager and Financial Manager (takes up a good load of my time) as a junior, part-time executive member as a senior because conflicts with my trimester with volleyball
Community service-- Translate letters from Korean into English for people who support orphan kids in Mexico through a specialized Christian program. I support a kid myself financially and write him letters through the same organization. Most kids are all under the age of 8-ish.
School government-- Class Treasurer as a freshmen and that's it so not much meaning to that.
Symphony-- highest level of orchestral music in school. 1st violin sophomore year to senior year.
those pretty much sum up my EC's. they are few but i invest a lot of time in them.
Summer Activities:
Freshmen summer-- attended a camp designated for Korean-American kids who study at prestigious schools in the states that touch upon fundamental skills useful for standardized tests and such. was appointed "valedictorian" of the camp.
Sophomore summer-- NYLC: named notable alumni of my school to have attended. interned for a month at Helio, Inc. with Business Development--established content deals with three third-party companies, edited the legal agreement to fit the interests of the companies i dealt with. visited Korea and coached as an assistant for the varsity team at my old school until i had to come back for school (mostly helping new players learn the positions and adjust to the program).
Junior summer-- Summer College at Stanford for 8 weeks.
so... yeah. chances? |
