<p>will you be my friend if you go next year?</p>

4

<p>well i'm a junior now so i'd be going the year after next. Are you going to be a huntsman student?</p>

5

<p>Just curious, what is your ethnicity?</p>

6

<p>I guess caucasian but 5 of my 8 great-grandparents were from syria so i guess i could play myself off as middle eastern why? Do you think i have a chance?</p>

7

<p>Holy crap, you're not asian and fluent in Chinese. That is AMAZING, Chinese is so difficult. I think you have far and away the most unique and impressive resume I have ever seen, but then again, I don't work in admissions. Best of luck to you on admissions, because they are a crapshot. If you get rejected from some schools, please do not think less of yourself. I'm already impressed with you haha.</p>

8

<p>Yeah and PLAY YOURSELF OFF AS MIDDLE EASTERN. Keep us updated. I want to know where you apply and where you are eventually accepted.</p>

<p>Also, invest that 20k. You baller.</p>

9

<p>Wo ye hui shuo Zhongwen! Nihao, I suppose</p>

10

<p>Just don't be "one of those" huntsman students.</p>

11

<p>Wow thanks you guys. Where're you guys all applying to?</p>

12

<p>By the way. Does anyone know if huntsman sees a difference between people applying for their first language or any other one?</p>

13

<p>I would think that being a dude who learned Chinese as a second language, and learned it so well, would make you quite unique.</p>

14

<p>Yeah, I think you have a great chance with Chinese as your target language. If you complete your summer job, that will be amazing!</p>

15

<p>

I don't believe they do. However, you might as well subtly mention that in your essays. You know, something about how learning chinese was hard/rewarding/whatever for ya.</p>

16

<p>Thanks for all the support guys. Where're you all applying to?</p>

17

<p>Haha.. I'm not applying anywhere. I'm attending Penn this fall :)</p>

18

<p>yeah, going to wharton next fall</p>

19

<p>One of the strongest resumes I have seen yet. </p>
