<p>I'm a newbie, forgive me for my unfamiliarity with CC. </p>
<p>I'm a PEA and PA applicant from Asia (not Korea, China, Japan, nor other over-represented minorities). Not from an international school.
English is definitely not my first language, although it's keeping up :D</p>
<p>It is too late to change my essays. From the start I know my chances are slim, so I guess I wont be too disappointed if rejected or waitlisted. Still....</p>
<p>But please give me some opinions for improvements in the future. Like what points should I strengthen, how can I stand out from the rest of the applicants from my essays, etc. </p>
<p>Geez, this sounds so formal.. Yuck.
Anyway, 1st post!!!</p>
