<p>"*I was planning to go to Korean university which don't look at school GPA. So my GPA was low in 10th grade."</p>

<p>that's a ridiculous excuse implying that you do well in classes only for university, please don't include it your app.</p>

<p>test scores are good, academics are strong all round, they're competitive for seas, but they alone won't get you in.</p>

<p>ECs are good, but nothing seems to be extra-ordinary there, the meteorite being named after you is interesting but trivial. also many ECs are academic related and that hurts, i think you have a good shot, but you aren't in for sure.</p>

3

<p>Did you apply for ED or are you planning to apply for RD?</p>

4

<p>applying for RD</p>

5

<p>But, that's pretty impressive that you got SECOND place in the team division of the Intel Science and Engineering Fair. (I'm reading that correctly, right?)
I only have one word to say - WOW</p>

6

<p>heads up - we all call it "SEAS".</p>

7

<p>Can we just answer the man's question? God, I hate it when people answer threads with irrelevant posts that are not even funny. Yes, you're in. Because of that intel thing. Also, the Korean amateur soccer league, that's mighty impressive mate.</p>
