Hi guys, I’m a Asian boy attending top ranking scholl in my nation. It would be really helpful if you guys could help me determine if I’m competitive enough for some of the schools I’m considering. Welcome all critics and suggestions
My school well-known for STEM-focused studies and I’m pretty dissatisfied with it and decided to transfer.
ACT: None (nor SAT) but have TOEFL school around 110
GPA: 3.67(I know that my gpa is not that competitive enough, but is it really bad? According to my research, I found average gpa of accpetance of all listed universities are not in big difference, also my strenghths are EC and essays)
School : top 15 Asian Universities / majoring economics
Highschool Gpa: 3.6~7 (top 7~8%) (Top public school in Korea)
Language skills : Including mother tongue language, I can fluently speak 3 languages and one in basic level…
I’ve not requested financial aids.
Main Extracurriculars: Air force Military(for 2 years, played an essential role in collaboration with US army)/ One of multinational company(maybe well known in Europe, contributed to sales increase and company reputation)/ Bank internship (one of top banking in my country), Internship in Law-firm(also multinational company, played as an economic analyst)/ Captain of Soccer club(won in regional soccer competition)/ Mentoring clubs(head director&leader, mentored people in need)/ Mentoring volunteer(about economic issues)/ Member of NGO (aiming to reinforce relationships with Asian Countries, actually held many businesses and quiet infleuntial)
Recommendation : 2 very strong recommendation (from economic and speech professors, in both classes I got A+)
(*some people argue that it would be better to get recommendations more in numbers, is it really true?/ since I though 2 would be enough)
Essay : 9/10 (I explained a definite reason to transfer related to my major and future dream and I showed enthusiasm to be member of the society)
(A few weeks ago I already received matriculation from University of Michigan, ann arbor/ but I wonder if there are any chance for me to get accepted from those listed universities)
Plz chance me. Also comment me if you have similar stats. Advices from those who are previously accepted would be delightful.
Thank you
