<p>Well, your academics and test scores are solid. But you are an ORM as an Asian Indian, so that puts you in a more competitive pool. Your ECs are definitely good though and show leadership; what does the “full scholarship study” indicate though? Anyways, I’d imagine it’d be a high-match for you, if only because of the ORM status.</p>
<p>well the state department sponsored me and 9 other students to travel to china and study chinese for a month and a half. About 1500 people applied for about 50 spots, so its pretty selective/prestigious. I am trying to stress this in my essays and such, so this may distinguish myself from other ORMs haha.</p>
<p>Selective programs usually have reputations that speak for themselves. There should be no need to try and explain the prestige of your trip if it really is all that prestigious to begin with. Is this CLS?</p>
<p>no im not trying to convey how prestigious it is - that would be redundant - i wanted to convey the experience itself haha. No this is actually NSLI (National Security Language Initiative)</p>
<p>You have good chances because your ec and awards show your passion. Good luck.</p>
