International kid here. Do I have a shot? (and does ED help at all?)

<p>@finifugal… Don’t try to make yourself unique. Often applicants try to go out of the way to do something which they don’t like to make themselves unique. Adcoms can see through this.</p>

<p>Do what you like to do most. Show dedication in whatever you do. Keep up your grades. You are academically “qualified” - so there’s no problem in applying. </p>

<p>And there’s no problem in being interested in 2 different fields - just be sure to use your essays to explain your interests and how college X can help you pursue them!! :D</p>
