I’m planning to apply to Seoul National University, Kings College, University of Edinburgh, University of Amsterdam, and Hong Kong University. My major would be international relations
We don’t use the gpa system here, so my percentage is about 85% , which is about a 4 when converted to a gpa.
I’m expecting a good IELTS score.
Extra curriculars:
- Arts head on student council, first year of high school
- Lead singer for our annual school festival, second year of high school
- Speak a total of 4 languages, one being self learnt: korean
- Have a Korean to English lyrics translation blog
- Have had a K-Fashion blog since 2013
- Have attended a few UN seminars
- Have been part of two MUNs, one representing South Korea
- I was part of a french exchange program, done by our school last year
- I interpreted for the students and teachers on a school trip to a village in my country which trains old ladies from Latin America and Africa in skills required to bring electricity to their home villages. (I am an intermediate Spanish speaker)
- I learnt Tennis for 4 years.
- I have topped my class every year in Spanish, and have been one of the class toppers almost each time in English
- I’ve hosted the annual Spanish language week opening events two times for our school
- I did some volunteer work for two months, and plan to start a youtube channel about my country
I hope my extra curriculars are relevant to my field of study, I’d like to think they are as what I want to convey to the university is my understanding of foreign cultures, and language and how it would play to my advantage when applied to international relations.
