<p>Not that I am necessarily a really strong applicant to begin with. I have a high GPA, 2300 SAT (1530), SUPER GOOD essays that bring out my leadership skills and passion for my career choice, good ECs, couple internships (all science related though), and strong letters of rec. Not that ANYONE else has a high GPA or over 2300 SAT... </p>
<p>Anyway, my biggest issue is that my language proficiency in my target language is low. I actually know French and Korean more than my desired language because my school didn't even teach the language. I do know from what I have studied at home, but it is not enough. I am guessing it will cut my chances down by at least 75% or maybe i won't be able to apply at all?</p>
