I am an international student from South Korea, currently attending an international school in South Korea.
I have 1550 on New SAT, 800 for Math 2, 800 for World History, and 790 for Literature.
Our school is an IB school, so I have gotten into a full IB-Diploma Program.
I have taken: English A HL, History HL, Korean A HL, Theatre HL, Chemistry SL, and Mathematics SL. On the IB exams, I have gotten all 7’s except for English, which I got a 6.
Speaking of extracurriculars, I have served as a member of Student Council for 4 years — Vice in my junior year, and President in my senior year for the Student Council Chair(meaning for the whole high school, not just a grade).
I have founded Make A Wish Club, in collaboration with Make A Wish Korea, and have made 20 wishes of children with severe illnesses as a club(examples of wishes were getting a macbook, meeting a K-pop star, etcetera. All money collected through fundraising).
I have participated in various drama productions, including musicals which I have always gotten lead roles, and I was nearly scouted by an actors agency with my performance. I am also a part of teen theatre group outside of school, which is a group of young international aspiring actors and actresses. Plus, I have participated in this project called dream theatre – we would visit an orphanage, and work on a play with the children there, and eventually perform in front of a large group of audience.
I have a great interest in writing. I have been in a publication class of my school since freshmen year, becoming the editor-in-chief in my junior year. I have also written in a magazine called Teen 10 Magazine(magazine for English speaking teenagers in Korea), and served as a Editor-in-chief since my sophomore year. For my personal project, I have written a 200 page novel, which was published in Korea, and have won a literature award in Korea in an international section(since it was written in English). I also have self-published a few short stories, which I received great reviews online, but with a pen name.
I have been in JV basketball team in my freshman year, and Varsity since sophomore year, and have become the captain in my senior year.
I have worked with Save the Children Korea for all 4 years in my high school, volunteering there during every school breaks. I was a translator – translating letters from the sponsored children into the Korean sponsors(English to Korean). I received an award from the head of Save the Children Korea recently.
Since my sophomore year, I have worked as a staff member in professional musical and play sets, and also worked as a tour guide for foreigners staying in this youth hostel, travelling with them all around Seoul.
I have written my essay, and received recommendation letters from my counselor, newspaper teacher, and history teacher.
I would like to pursue writing and acting as I move on.
How are my chances?
