About
I went to Halla university in my country (South Korea) for two years (2017-2018), my major was tourism management, and gave 74 credits with 4.34/4.50 GPA. At that time, I had a strong desire to study hospitality and business specifically in English so that I searched for some universities in the U.S that are good at teaching the major of Hospitality business management by myself, studied English for TOEFL, and took TOEFL test. Through the preparation process in 2019, I applied for the International Year One in Business 2-semester Pathway (Spring and Summer semesters in 2020) that belongs to Undergraduate Passway Programs among the INTO programs at Washington State University, and I passed the program. I have participated in the International Year One in Business 2-semester Pathway at Washington State University in Pullman campus during the 2020 spring semester and 2020 summer semester. I finished the 2020 spring semester, and I received 3.90/4.00 GPA of the total subjects that I took. After mid-May, I have been processed the course in the 2020 summer semester, I gave 4.00/4.00 GPA of two subjects that I finished in the latter half of June, and now I have studied other subjects until July that will complete the 2020 summer semester. I have a plan that I will transfer to Washington State University in Pullman campus as the major of Hospitality Business Management in 2020 fall semester and graduate the university.
