<p>Hello. I'm an international student from South Korea</p>
<p>I got SAT 2000 this June
Reading: 610
Writing: 690
Math: 700</p>
<p>Toefl: 107</p>
<p>SAT 2
US history: 670
Math level 1: 720
Korean: Going to take it this November. Will get at least 770~800 for sure. </p>
<p>I have 10 full activities and 5 of them are music.
I'm in various singing groups. I did rowing and won some medals (freshman, sophomor)
I do a marial art teaching group every summer.</p>
<p>What is my
high match and low match schools!??!</p>
<p>Thank You</p>
<p>What do you want to major in? And do you have any financial limitations? We have thousands of schools…</p>
<p>no financial limitation!
maybe music business or history of sort</p>
<p>Don’t bother taking Korean this November*, not only will that not help you (we should hope that, being a native with 17 years of 24/7 immersion experience, you know as much Korean as someone who studied it for 2-3 years for a few hours per week) but it may make you appear lazy. If you need another subject, try math2 or literature (you hve a high enough TOEFL).</p>
<p>*unless you’re not Korean or not living in Korea</p>
<p>Thank you very much!
Maybe I won’t take Korean. </p>
<p>Is UCLA a low reach for me though?</p>
<p>Look into the NESCAC schools, the Claremont colleges, Women’s Colleges if you’re a girl.
If you’re good at rowing, you should try to get recruited (fast) at Williams, Bates, Wesleyan, Tufts…
Yes UCLA is a low reach - your being full pay and interested in a rather rare major will definitely help you.</p>
<p>UCLA, USC, NYU would be good choices for you. Although they’re all very expensive…</p>
<p>Thanks for the comments everyone! I appreciate it
I would love to go to New York or USC (if i even have a chance to get in)
I also applied to Boston College Composition major (early action)
So, last question I guess.
do i have a good or bad chance for this?</p>
<p>Ucla is not too expensive. USC would be easier for you to get into</p>
<p>Jrsantago: UCLA is $55,000 for out of state and international students. It’s thus easier to get into UCLA and other UC’s for an international or OOS student than for an in-state student, because they bring in a lot of money that will help fund the budget (due to the heavy defunding by the State of California/ the financial crisis.)</p>
