<p>If you’d like, I can send you my resume jje06. </p>
<p>Yes, my ECs take up a considerable amount of time. The activities I’ve listed on this board aren’t everything there is. I’ve been commited to 4 of my ECs more than 4 yrs. Everytime I transferred I made sure to create the same clubs I created at my previous schools. No matter how corny this sounds, they are a big part of me. My tutoring Korean and Hispanic immigrants really is from the heart. After all, I am one also. </p>
<p>I played the violin for over a decade. I’m first violin for the Greater Miami Symphony Orchestra (I know this isn’t much since many asians play the violin or piano). No, I haven’t won any awards because I did not have transportation for tournaments. Btwn, I have to walk a few miles to get to orchestra practice.</p>
<p>I completely agree w/ your comments on my standardized test results though. I really can’t do anything about that. I just hope the admin officers would put more emphasis on my gpa. </p>
<p>I am aware that Wellesley and NYU have completely different characteristics. If you’re talking in terms of atmosphere, I can survive in both because I’ve had experience in both. I’ve learned with classes as small as 4 and classes as large as 45. From what I heard, Wellesley and NYU both have great international relations programs, which is what I want to major in. I love both suburbal and urbal atmospheres. I know teacher-student relationships are quite impersonal in NYU, but I can survive with that. Having stayed in a public school with more than 2000 students in one grade taught me well. On the flip side, having learned in a private school helps me realize how valuable it is to have a passionate, supportive teacher. </p>
<p>There are many applicants who are considering both Wellesley and NYU. I don’t see how both can’t “fit” to me. </p>
<p>jie06 please don’t apologize for putting up a long post. I really do appreciate it. </p>
<p>Happy New Years everybody. </p>
<p>I am not optimistic about my chances for NYU either, I assure you. I know my standardized testing fits within the average, and my gpa is a little above average, but I know the number of applicants for NYU are HUGE. But I was wondering if the other factors on my application (ie: second language eng, living apart from parents, 2/3s life in Korea) would help me stand out.</p>
