<p>Yup, this is just a normal kid,
and by the way I’m an international from an Asian country (K…) without a Greencard…and, of course, WILL NOT apply for the financial aid.</p>

<p>Hook: 1. My passion to solve the problems in Africa diplomatically and economically.
2. Korean kids,… speaking Korean, & (French, English, Arabic…the 3 major languages of African continent!)</p>

2

<p>So you can speak three languages, you have a great SAT score, and perfect SAT II scores? </p>

<p>Your GPA is great… your AP scores are great, except for Biology. Are you planning to major in Biology, because that could hurt you? How were your essays?</p>

<p>It’ll help that you’re international.</p>

3

<p>holy cow, your rank is loooooooooow</p>

<p>if 20% of people really have better grades than you, then you won’t get in yale</p>

4

<p>hmmm well i think the african thing will set you apart from most of the sciency intls, but its still a crapshoot</p>

<p>i think yale actually has a very good relationship with schools in china, not sure abour korea</p>

5

<p>I go to school in Boston MA. And my school’s ranking policy is quintile division. The top kid and the second kid are all in the top quintile.
I know my GPA is worse than them, but we are still in the top quintile altogether.</p>

6

<p>thats sweet that your school does ranking that way. That would be very nice in a school like mine that doesn’t weight and the difference between a 3.9 and a 4.0 is about 30 spots and being out of the top 10%.</p>

<p>how being an international can help?? Sometimes I read it’s for worst, now for best… :S</p>
