<p>I'm applying RD to CAS and Gallatin</p>
<p>GPA: 3.67 (on a lower side but my school is well-known for its insanely difficult exam =s)
I have no APs, nothing, nada. My education system in my country doesn't allow students to choose the courses.
Rank: My school doesn't not rank in official transcript but I'm among top 10% in the informal transcripts.
ACT: 29 retaking again in dec, hoping for 30+
ECs: </p>
<ul>
<li>Establishing my own English tutoring business</li>
<li>Model UN</li>
<li>School Magazine</li>
<li>Co-published test preparation for national standardized test (net profit around $6000)</li>
<li>Debate Club</li>
<li>Was a secretary in Student Committee</li>
<li>Been a volunteered teacher for two years for children with disability</li>
<li>Was an intern in pubic sector</li>
</ul>
<p>Prospect major: Political Science/International Relations
Essays: Not yet finish. It's a bit risky because I wrote a politics based essay like how my political belief affected my life and the treatment I received from people who did not agree with me.
Recs: Glowing (well according to their words). They remembered me quite well despite the class size (~1300 students for senior) One from my science teacher and one from my politics teacher</p>
<p>I'm Thai (don't know if this will help =s) and speak 3 languages fluently (Native Lang, English, Spanish). I can read & write German and Korean. Also, I'm applying from state school in Thailand, the most competitive one in the country (send 10+ students to Ivies every year), also the biggest (almost 5000 students for grade10-12). Yet, no one from my school has ever been accepted to NYU. </p>
