Just realized your username might be hinting something…
Yeah thanks for your clarifying information! That helped a lot. Yeah definently working in another country is invaluable, think about all the life expereines you will take away from that. And I know parents, you needed to work hard to show them that going to these countries was not a waste of time so you needed to show them that you built good relationships. Also, may I ask how you decided to major in economics? This is because I wanted to major in economics/business up until about half a year ago. We seem to both be on opposite sides of our majors, I see you hurridely studying macroeconomics while I, want to major in Comp Sci and I am hurridely studying it for a retake. Also thanks for the math/science encouragement but a 34m act is actually really weak. I took the act twice and that was the only section score that didn’t improve, just stayed the same. And the chess business thing, it started from a craigslist ad and honestly, I have to say a lot of luck helped me build it up. I posted it in Feb 2016. Crossed $1k july 26th. trying to cross $2k before christmas. Since I’m a terrible writer, the ebook thing is difficult but I like getting my ideas across. Unfortunately, I did not mention either of those two things very clearly in my essays or what not. I decided that the admissions can figure out what they were and I decided to use my essays to focus on other parts of me.
What other schools are you applying to?
