<p>Lol being Asian female International is probably NOT a hook.</p>

<p>Im really not sure but you may be borderline only because your international.</p>

<p>Haha you listed on your weakness what I was going to say.
Higher SAT for more competitve schools and don’t really see a lot of Leadership positions.
I don’t know how good of a writer you are, but the topic of identity crisis from moving around sounds pretty cliched.
If you’re a good writer though, I’m sure you can pull it off.
Good Luck!</p>

<p>There isn’t a communications school in UPenn. Correct me if I’m wrong</p>
