<p>Pretty overwhelming application. One thing you forgot to tell us is which Cornell college you're applying to.</p>

<p>And just curious, but I'm Korean and I think you're the first Korean/Bangladeshi mix I've seen. How did your parents meet?</p>

<p>Thanks! I'm also thinking about applying to Harvard and Yale. Cornell is still on my "list" that I'm trying to shorten, so I was just curious if it would be worth the application.
I'm not exactly sure which Cornell college I'll be applying too...I thought I knew...but then lol I don't know anymore.</p>
