I recently landed a freelance job translating professional medical material (journal articles/drug trial regulations…) for one of Taiwan’s best translating agencies, after passing a difficult translation test. It’s pretty special because medical translation is a very specialized field and as a college freshman, I somehow made the cut to translate for people with PhDs…
I also was deferred by Harvard.
Despite my slim-to-none chances of acceptance as a non-traditional international student, would it be advisable if I updated Harvard about this recent development, or would it just come across as a nuisance? I personally am thrilled and honored to get the job (Chinese-to-English translation is much harder than English-to-Chinese, and I don’t even know a single person who has passed the latter) but I don’t expect the same enthusiasm from an adcom member.
Thanks in advance!
