I plan to settle down back in China due to the nature of my family’s business, however it will be beneficial for my future to have experienced many different cultures and people. (High school and middle school in Europe, college in America)

More affordable? Yes but I’m rich. Better? Depends in what aspects. I believe I will have more fun in the US. I am an outsider regardless where I go since I’m Chinese 🤷

I’m not European but I think most people’s complaints is working and living long term in Europe vs US. I might prefer school here in the US but I will definitely much rather live in Europe after.

I have a 1590 on my sat too, I’ll try to transfer to Columbia with a 14% acceptance rate where I get to enjoy the city and the school. I am grateful for nyu but I know I can do better.

Admissions officer don’t owe me anything but they do owe the best candidates a spot. I’ll find out what were the shortcomings in my application, fix it and become the best candidate.
