<p>I just wanted to make another chances thread here in the MIT forum if it's ok:</p>
<p>ANY comments will be appreciated, though there really isn't much I can change, except perhaps somethings about the essays (still coming)</p>
<p>So here goes:</p>
<p>I'm a Korean American male.
Born in California, moved to Indiana when I was 1. Moved to Korea when I was in 2nd grade, moved again in Korea in 4th grade, moved to Indiana again in 6th grade, moved to Wisconsin in 9th grade.
School: A Milwaukee surburban school of about 1300 people. One of top 5 public schools in WI (I'm guessing).
I'm interested in going into Engineering, but I'm not sure about the specific major.</p>

<p>I will definitely revise the resume before I attach it to the apps.
Things to note: I've steadily risen in the level of English class. I've exhausted the math curriculum in my school. I'm doing a research project/competing in the intel science fair this year (fingers crossed). Also, I've built a R/C plane for the purpose of taking Aerial Photography--my big hobby. I'll include this as a supplement (w/ pictures, description of the craft, etc) I'm also thinking about sending a recording of a clarinet solo piece.</p>
<p>Also... Interview tomorrow~~</p>
