Bio E - 720

<p>Extracurriculars

40 hours volunteering freshman year
9th grade - pr officer of class of 2010

love languages, fluent in 2, know english pretty well, learning 2 others, skipped spanish 4 because i did so well, try to practice with native spekers often
honors roll all 3 years
... can't think of more. I know they are very weak, but it was hard for me since my english isn't that good (considering accent especially), the way of life is totally different etc</p>

<p>You’re not a slam dunk but it is definitely worth it to apply. Are you applying LSA or Engineering? Engine likes high math scores and verbal is less important. .</p>

3

<p>LSA, linguistics major (since i’m already fluent in 3 and taking 2 others)</p>

<p>I think you’ve for sure got a shot…It’s better to send one in and get rejected then not send one in altogether. You’ve got some good scores, make sure in your essays that you talk about how you know multiple languages and how you resided many of your years in eastern europe. That should help particularly in the diversity essay.</p>
