<p>My weighted GPA is 3.4, my SAT score is 1870, I'm applying to the college of Applied Health Sciences with a Speech and Hearing Science major. I'm Arab and speak English and Arabic fluently, have been studying Spanish since the 6th grade and have been self teaching myself Korean and am proficient at it. Also, I live in Saudi Arabia (but I'm an American citizen), I don't know if thats relevant but I'm hoping that UIUC likes diversity :P</p>
<p>I've taken 4 honors classes and only one AP, which isn't a lot, I know, but my school is a college-prep school, so do you think that helps?</p>
<p>I received a full-paid merit scholarship from the US Department of State called NSLI-Y to study in Korea for 6 weeks (only 50 applicants were accepted), I traveled to Cambodia with Habitat for Humanity to build houses for those in need, I've participated in multiple community and school plays with lead roles, I've gotten first place in local singing competitions and I've participated in local and international honor band and choir festivals. I've also been in MUN. </p>
<p>On my first essay I talked about how my cultural diversity has changed my perspective on the world, and on my second essay I talked about my scholarship to Korea (from what I know, those two things are the strongest things on my application).</p>
