<p>Hi, I'm currently a student at Duke University, class of 2008.</p>
<p>Yes, according to my graduating year, I'm supposed to be a senior right now.</p>
<p>But I am not yet, due to some of my circumstances.</p>
<p>I hold Korean citizenship, and that makes me go to go to the military for 2 years.</p>
<p>I finished my sophomore year, and came to Korea to do the duty.</p>
<p>However, in Korea, there are usually two types of doing the military service.</p>
<p>One, just going to the 'real' military, and two, being recruited in a firm to</p>
<p>work there for 2 years and 10 months instead of going to be military ( The</p>
<p>number of people being recruited like this is only around 2~3% of the male</p>
<p>population). Anyways, so that's what I am doing right now in Korea, working</p>
<p>in a firm doing system development and overseas marketing & sales.</p>
<p>While working here, I want to take my shot at the three schools in the</p>
<p>title, Harvard, Stanford and Yale.</p>
<p>Below are my stats.</p>
<p>High School GPA : 3.7</p>
<p>SAT 1 : 1470 (old SAT)</p>
<p>SAT 2 : Math 1C : 800
Chem : 730
Math 2C : 720
Writing : 730</p>
<p>Extra : tons..but I will not bother to write them down since they are old.</p>
<p>College stats at Duke</p>
<p>College GPA for 2 years : 3.65</p>
<p>Major : Economics & Chinese (proficient, almost fluent)</p>
<p>Extra curricular : Internship at the Korean Parliament house
Internship at CNN (Beijing Branch)
Internship at Microsoft (Korean Branch)
Staff at a Korean IT firm (oversea sales, marketing team)</p>
<p>I've been working at the firm that I am working now for around a year now,</p>
<p>and will be working for around a year and a half more.</p>
<p>So, I just want to know.</p>
<p>Would I have any chances at the three schools, and if I don't what would I</p>
<p>have to do to increase the chances.</p>
<p>I appreciate ANY comments guys.</p>
<p>Best</p>
