I am an international student from Hong Kong and now study in a private school in NY…
Last month I applied early action to the School of Kinesiology at UMich with an intended major of Sport Management. I currently have a GPA of 3.73, an old SAT (2016 January) of 1960, a math ii subject test of 760, and a Toefl of 102. I also just took the December new SAT last weekend, and it went pretty well, expecting a 1450+, and I wish they could accept this score. (I know the December score is probably not helpful for the early action)
I have shown strong passion on sports and especially soccer. Most of my Extracurricular activities are sport-related.
- Team captain of varsity soccer team (Awarded Scholar Athlete of The County in my junior year)
- Participant of Wharton Sports Business Academy (2016 summer)
- Player rater and evaluator at www.footballdatabase.eu (One of the biggest soccer info websites)
- FIFA 16 (E-sport) semi-pro player (I was globally ranked the 21st in the world while there's about several millions of players in total)
- Fan representative of Manchester City Football Club Supporters Club
- Water Polo and Swimming (Played water polo and swam competitively in Hong Kong, and received several awards)
- Market analysis intern at Honeywell (2 weeks, 80 hours, 2016 summer)
- Turkey intercultural field trip (The topic was intercultural-ness and sustainability, 2015, 3 weeks)
- Saxophone player in school jazz band and orchestra
- Mathlete
- Political debate team
For my common app essay I talked about how much I love FIFA, the fact that I employed FIFA tactics into real life scenarios, how I developed my interest on sports business from FIFA, and my personal insights into the great prospect of Chinese sports industry.
Please chance me for UMich EA Kines school, and if possible, Ohio state and syracuse as well.
