<p>hi fellow koreans!!!!!</p>
<p>i am a proud korean. i am proud of many koreans who devoted their passion to succeed in the college app process. since there are many of us who are talented, our application pool makes it harder for us to get in, right?</p>
<p>But what if I am full korean, who can speak fluent korean, but lived in germany half of my life (all middle thru high school). do the adcoms look at me as a german applicant, or a korean applicant? I mean, germany is like my second home.</p>
<p>I am a junior, and i just saw my friend getting rejected from cambridge. i thought i had solid stats, but today i got my report card and this is clear not the case.... :X</p>
