<p>in at both.</p>

3

<p>“in at both.”</p>

<p>WHAT? You’re joking right?</p>

4

<p>you’re only considering two schools?</p>

5

<p>Well, yeah. Your SAT is strong, your GPA is competitive, you’ve got quite a unique background, and your EC’s are decent to good. I wouldn’t say Williams is a match, but it hardly is for anyone. You have a really good shot.</p>

<p>Huskem // Those are the only Liberal Arts school that is need-blind to International Students… My family can’t afford $40,000 annually.</p>

<p>But… I don’t get it. Most of my peers get close to 4.0 uw. I feel so left behind… The gap of 0.3 is immense, isn’t it? I thought I barely had a chance, at all.</p>

7

<p>Okay, I’ll be frank–I might have the lowest GPA in my school. My school is harsh, but gives out A’s pretty easily.</p>

8

<p>Oh, and the “books” are not published or anything.(Off-line, at least.)</p>

9

<p>Well you might not want to put on your app that you wrote those books, because they might look for them.</p>

<p>mtngoat1 // Huh? No, I’m not saying that I’ll lie that I published them. I just intend to make my works into a form of book and send it to them.</p>

11

<p>Hmm… Come to think of it, I think I’ll ask a publisher friend of mine if she’s interested in publishing any one of my works.</p>
