I am Italian but lived all my life in the US. I am doing my Bachelor degree in Italy and will come back to the US for Master's degree. I speak four languages fluently, created a two-course credit against racism and inequalities in my high school and have worked as a receptionist for a few months in Italy and then selected by the Olympic Committee for the European Youth Olympic Festival to be an official attaché. My email arrived immediately when the selection process started because the file I received is called "Early". I applied for regular admission.
