Hey,
I’ve been doing a project with north korean teen defectors and been making a peer mentoring program/workshops/hw help with them.
My question is, would it be better not to put this in my college app?
Would including it have an negative light/disadventage on my resume?
I am an absolute no supporter of Kim Jeong Un and I’m afraid that one line just stating peer mentoring with north Korean defectors would set misconceptions about my political views.
Thanks
How could helping people who have LEFT North Korea be interpreted as somehow supporting Kim Jeong Un? It’s the exact opposite, right?
@T26E4 thank you for your reply 
But some north Koreans recently in the press had said that they want to go back to north korea because of their family, economic reasons (social discriminations within sk society) etc etc… So I wasn’t really sure how the officers would interpret this EC
Yes, but yours aren’t doing that, are they? And your program should reduce the disaffections they might have with local society so that they are more likely to settle in happily.
Put it in. I’ve worked with students who have done this exact thing in the past, and they all did fine (Ivies and similar).
You really think college admissions people in the US are aware that some refugees want to go back? You’d be shocked by how ignorant many college recruiters are about the countries they visit…
