Equipped with experiences in playing in bands, producing/programming my own music and performing in musicals and theaters, studio production, audio engineering and performance art have always been my strength. Before senior year I was planning to double major in electrical engineering and music, but later I ended up struggling between majoring in engineering while doing music on my own and majoring in music or audio-engineering-related subjects. The struggle had kept me bothered as I applied different majors/programs for different colleges, until I was admitted by the Sound department of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC, the only art school to which I applied) and granted a merit scholarship worth 108K USD in December last year. I had hard time deciding which schools to go as I was admitted by New York University, University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, University of Miami and SAIC, with scholarship granted by all schools above except NYU. After four months of thorough consideration, I made up my mind and accepted the admission offered by SAIC, as I prefer a school with a smaller size and thus with more resources being distributed to every student. In addition, the interdisciplinary study program in SAIC allows me to study not only sound engineering from a more artistic/creative perspective but also other art forms such as new media, photography, films …etc. I used these experiences and my college essays as references to guide and advise students in the cram school where I worked as a teacher assistant and a tutor during summer. Surprisingly, I received a lot of good feedbacks from those students whom I helped, especially those who were having a hard time choosing between art and professional studies and between their own decisions or their parents’ preference. I always told these students to follow their will and choose a school that best fits their preference and goals instead of a school that fits their parents’ preferences or that has a higher ranking, and I want to share my thoughts and this particular idea to those I will be tutoring while being a tutor who helps tackling the standardized tests, the ultimate keys to a decent, preferable college. ___________________________________ The reason that I want to be a tutor: - Equipped with the experience of being a private tutor and a teacher assistance - Absolutely in love with teaching math-related and audio/music-related subjects! - To share my experience of college application and strategies of tackling college essays. - To acquire the fund for future music career.
