I’ve graduated high school some 3 years ago!

In my country’s system, we enroll in pre-professional “college-lite” before attending university at about age 20-21. My college-lite formal education was a comprehensive and regionally prestigious program in media, communications and journalism.

I am only applying to Barnard because I’m sure it’s my dream school. Or I simply wouldn’t enroll in college - my qualifications are enough to get me hired anywhere here - it is complicated! Thank you for reading.
