<p>Hey everyone(: </p>
<p>I’m a student living in Southeast Asia and my parents are telling me that going to the UK would be good to study medicine (i.e. King’s College, Oxford, Cambridge - if possible). Could you chance me for these colleges?</p>
<p>Academic:
- SAT: 2310 (750 R, 770 W, 790 M) [this won’t help in UK colleges I think]
- Top high school in country, 3.83 GPA, top 5% in class of 1200
- Taking A levels next year, got straight As this year
- Taking H3 Biology next year
- National debate competition, won 3rd place

- Have participated in several national Geography competitions in high school
- Have published a poem in an international anthology
- Top 50 in an international haiku competition</p>

- Peer Support Board (Executive Committee)
- Student’s Council
- Red Cross Society

- Organized and facilitated an international convention for youth leaders</p>
<p>Community Service:
- Trip to Vietnam to teach English to children there (3 months of preparation and 1 week in Vietnam)
- Initiated a programme within my community to teach piano to less fortunate children. There was 6 months of preparation for the kids before they put up a concert for their parents. </p>
<p>Work Experience:
- Internship at a clinic (1 week)
- Internship at a medical institution (4 weeks)
- Short attachment at a research facility (few days)</p>
<p>Future plans:
