<p>My mom and dad earn total 75k in South Korea.
I have 2 siblings, and I alone live abroad in Orange County, CA at my mom's friend's place..
Because of Korea's investment in education, we're having economic hardship (from both my sisters in Korea and me)
I have 1990 on SAT (retaking in October) and 29 on 2 ACTs (31 superscore)
I have some ecs and leaderships at school.
Should I try to fill in application? I started it yesterday, but I just wondered if it's worth to try it.... (I'm asking if I can become a finalist, NOT if I can be matched.)
Thank you!</p>
<p>The QB app has plenty of room for you to describe your own unique situation and any unusual circumstances. If you feel you have faced economic hardship, which you say you have, then you should definitely consider applying.</p>
<p>I second hyperchinchilla. I highly believe you can qualify, given your circumstances. Don’t let the 60k number deter you.</p>
