So… this sounds really dumb but …I can’t stop myself from doing this and… here we go.
I’m thinking of applying to NYUAD ED1 or 2 and I’m pretty positive I definitely wanna go there.
I’m an international student and I guess I have decent stats but average extracurriculars.
My Stats:
I’ve taken the SAT once and got a 1520, thinking of retaking it this Oct. For subject tests, I got 800 in Math2 and 790 in Physics.
My country’s education system doesn’t have GPAs and stuff, instead all high school students nationwide have to sit for a common national examination yearly. I passed that exam as national second.
For extracurriculars, I’ve taken some coding courses, including CS50x offered by Harvard University.
I’ve won a few National Math Olympiads and some medals in International Math and Science Olympiads.
I was on the school Traditional Dance Team for 6 years.
I was the Chief Editor of our School Magazine for 2 years.
I was also in the debate team and won a best speaker prize once in an International Debate Championship.
I’ve tutored a few juniors for a year and worked as an interpreter for about 5 months.
Aside from English and my mother tongue, I speak beginner level Arabic as I’m a Muslim and I have intermediate fluency in Japanese because I’m a Weeb. (Tee-hee?). I also happen to have some basics in Chinese, Japanese and Urdu.
AND I FREAKING LOVE DIVERSITY!!
Mind estimating my chances of getting in?Pweease???
