<p>"I help autistic kids learn Korean on occasional Saturdays"</p>

<p>That's certainly interesting and unique. :)</p>

<p>Well, you have a good chance probably at most school you're applying to. You're ECs are very impressive. I'd say that the only school that may be a wild card is Yale, because you never know what they look for (they rejected hundreds of 1600 scoring applicants last year).</p>

<p>That's impressive. (Teaching autistic kids Korean.. ).. I can barely teach normal people how to speak Korean, and i's still very difficult.</p>

<p>Thanks, it's one of the hardest and most frustrating things I think I've ever done, and there's really very little tangible reward from it. However, it makes me appreciate life more in a way, and realize how incredibly lucky I am, no matter how cliched that sounds :)</p>

<p>I'm not sure how my numerical stats will work with Georgetown... I'm thinking about applying EA next year because I love it, but I don't know if I should apply EA to a super reach instead?</p>

<p>Actually, G-town is a reach for you. You are not even in the top 10% of your class...</p>
