<p>What do you think are my chances of being accepted into the Huntsman program?
I would REALLY appreciate helpful feedback! :)</p>
<p>Huntsman is so often a crapshoot, so you will never be guaranteed. However, not trying is guaranteed non-acceptance… :)</p>
<p>How many AP’s have you or will you be taking? And it is pretty early, as an accurate chance would need SAT scores…</p>
<p>Unfortunately Huntsman is so entirely based on fit. Demonstrate your passion to disseminate your knowledge and career functions with the Korean language. If you can learn those other languages, taht would be wonderful…</p>
<p>Business-wise, you dont have much. Try to get some leadership positions by senior year and even some business EC’s (which I have always found so ambiguous to name)…</p>
<p>I’m gonna be honest, Huntsman is nearly impossible to get into. Your credentials dont YET uphold admissions expectations. However you’re really young, and the key is to DEMONSTRATE PASSION in your essays…</p>
<p>As the above poster mentioned, Huntsman is nearly impossible to get into. You should focus on gaining important leadership roles. Continue your proficiency in language; that should definitely be a boost for you. And above all, do well on your SATs because everything else is moot if the SAT scores aren’t up to par.</p>
<p>Whatever you do, don’t use Korean as your target language, so make sure your Spanish is strong. Using a native language is a no no for Huntsman. This is an amazingly competitive program, especially for Asian applicants as there are so many.</p>
<p>I learned my Spanish in my IB class (HL Spanish with the highest scoring Spanish teacher in North America). I have also shown great passion for Russian by attending programs in Russia.</p>
Good luck.</p>
