<p>So, I posted my stats once before, but this is updated and more specific. Let me know your thoughts.
(By the way, this makes me feel incredibly lame and in need of validation...)</p>
<p>I am a senior at a small public high school in scenic North Dakota. I'm 25% Korean and 75% "other (unknown)." My mom is a single parent, and we're...financially disadvantaged? My EFC is $0. Neither of my parents attended college.</p>

PSAT: 218 (80 W, 79 CR, 59 M)--National Merit Semifinalist
