<p>yeah, I know, the term, a 'very international person' may seem odd, but not after I explained it.</p>

<p>I'm sure there are others out there like me, but I've lived 11 years abroad (I'm 16 years old) in 6 different countries (Korea <- my homeland, 4 latin american countries, Spain) and I can read/write, and even think in 3 languages (korean, spanish, english).</p>

<p>Does Duke have many (if any) people like me? Would you think Duke would prize such students (even if it were a tiny bit) ?</p>

<p>Of course, my grades are about Duke's average, so are my SATs (I dont want to mention them, because I dont want this to be a chance thread)</p>

<p>definitely, work that into your essays and duke could deginitely get the picture of your unique situation. i mean i'm sure there are few students at Duke as international as you are, so your living in many countries would certainly help you.</p>

<p>There are tons of internationals here. The country contributing the largest percentage of internationals is S. Korea...so you should feel right at home.</p>
