I’m applying to LSA undeclared. Can anyone chance me? I’m an international student from South Korea.
I took a time off because of South Korea’s mandatory military service, so I’m currently not enrolled in any college level courses.
Ethnicity: Asian
Family income: 200k+
Toefl: 112
Current school: top 100 state college,
took 32 credits, 3.97 GPA
High school: went to a pretty normal public high school in South Korea. I was just a normal student, did nothing so extraordinary.
EC:
- Currently serving at the GOP, a demilitarized zone military facility, as a combat signaler (I contributed to a mission to safely transport a North Korean defector to South Korea.).
- 1 month internship at an international organization. (I translated a manual for schizophrenia treatment which was later used at a national level mental health workshop.)
- Volunteered at a board meeting of an international organization for 1 week.
- worked for my school’s student journal for 1 semester
- Math tutor for 1 semester
- High school orchestra (3 years, 1st cello for two years)
- College orchestra (1 year, 1st cello for a semester)
- 1 year of volunteering at a rehabilitation hospital.
- 1st place in my school’s research competition (received a small amount of scholarship)
Honors:
Dean’s list all semesters
Recommendations: two from professors, one from my supervisor when I worked as a math tutor at my current school (who’s also a professor)
I’m really worried about not having enough college credits and my high school transcripts…
