<p>Um,to start with…you should know that Korean is not a race but an ethnicity.
Other than that, your EC’s don’t look too good… Are you an international student? Are you the first one in your family to go to college? Try to get involved in more community service or in clubs at your school(OR start one–that would look good on an app). :wink:
But most importantly… you have to show the school who you are as a person, not just as a number. Colleges want to know who YOU are and why YOU would be a good fit in the school.</p>

<p>3.72 unweighted? EC’s dont look very amazing, but mine wasnt that great either…</p>

<p>Make sure your internship is good, maybe get a rec from the person you interned with.
Get good recs and write good essays</p>
