<p>Geez I don't know. I think your active involvement will compensate for your lack of officer positions</p>

<p>No one on here has any insider knowledge that can help more than the typical, "Do well, now pray" technique. There are a ton of people in this forum:

That will attempt to give you good advice in this regard, but take chances stuff with a grain of salt.</p>

<p>Great to see that we've interested you, if you have any questions, please continue to just ask on other threads, etc. There are many current students on these boards who really enjoy answering your questions.</p>

<p>your scores are lower than most Chinese people, but if the CD you make is amazing, that could just be the hook that you need. especially since a lot of Chinese people don't concentrate that much on the arts.</p>

<p>The above statement is racist is so many ways...</p>
