Nice recs, I hope
Background: Asian (duh??) Chinese, lived in Brazil for 9 years, been in US for 4 and a half years
Totally a fob
(wish I was Hispanic!)
Essay Comm App: How I suffered discrimination in Brazil and overcame it. I thought it was pretty good
Current Status: Accepted into JHU ED but deferred for their BME (biomedical engineering) major =(
Backdoor plan: UT since Im top 10% … coz my mom wont pay for me to go to JHU if I dont get in BME… actually she wont pay for school that are matched for me coz she thinks either I get into really good ivies or I go to UT for less $$
