<p>you shouldn't choose a major purely because it would help you get into college, and you shouldn't choose a college purely because you've heard of it before.</p>

<p>Expect your korean sat 2 to be dismissed, but your church stuff looks ready to make up for that. I'd say you could do it, but it'd be a bit of a reach with the scores. Retake!</p>

<p>Your choice of major isn't a hook and probably won't benefit you at all, tbh. I think you might be in Chicago, maybe Georgetown, but I wouldn't count on MIT and Princeton.</p>
