I'm 16, 17 in two months, I'm 5'5(167cm) and 125(~58kg). I'm aware if I ever did get chosen, I would have to lose weight, inevitably. That's besides my point though. I've been trained classically as a soprano, as well as for musical theater vocally, I've sang Ave Maria, Das Veilchen, An die heimat, Sebben Crudele, Lacrimosa, as part of either a choir or solo. I've taken part in Chicago, Les Mis, and Frozen, among others.

I also can rap, and will be includong that in my audition if I do. I also do produce music and lyrics for fun, but I've never put anything out to the public beyond sending links to friends.

My biggest issue is my dance, I did gymnastics and contorsion at a young age, but stopped at 8. The only other dance I have is musical theater. Would being so far behind in dance make it worth auditioning with any hope of getting chosen for the second round?

To start, I'm 16, periods started when I was 11, and I immediately knew something was wrong. I got one, it lasted for 3 days, no pain, nothing but a flow so light i only needed a liner. Then I skipped a whole year, and when it came back, the first day, I felt nothing, then the second day was horrible, pain everywhere, and that's how it has been. We put me on spironolactone first, for some really bad acne, and it just didn't do anything. We tried me on slynd for ance and to get me regular. Because it wasn't a week late or early, it was some cycles were 20 days, others were 60, and everything in between. But instead of making me regular or stopping my periods, I started a reversed cycle of sorts, where it was 3 weeks on my period, and one week off.

The last year, I've been getting sharp pain in my left side, particularly during ovulation, as well as what I could only describe as a pulling pain throughout my pelvis. My joints start hurting on my period, to the point where I can barely walk my dog around the block.

I had a gyno appointment very recently, and as well as doing research on my own time, we both seperatly came to the conclusion of either a cyst or endo. Today I went for an ultrasound, and they found nothing, except for my right ovary being nearly a centimeter smaller in all 3 dimensions.

I just don't know what to do from here. I go to college next year, and we can't try me on any estrogen because I get migraines with an aura, and I tend to have really bad reactions to anything that gives me progesterone or that makes my body produce more.

We are considering just putting me on depo and hoping it stops everything all together. Does anyone have any advice at all?

So, to start I'm from the U.S and in september I will be applying through the university track for SNU. I know this is a highly competitive university, but I'm applying anyways. My planned major is Mechanical Engineering for a bachelor's. MY CGPA(as of my 11th grade) was 97.75. I'm in the top 20% of my class by a long shot. I just have a ton of questions. What should I include in my personal statement, other than what is already said to include? Should I get the IELTS or TOEFL even though English is my first language? The study plan is the one I'm having the most issue with. I know what I should put down, but the main question I have is how. Also, I understand that while SNU is an academic rather than a athletic university, would I be able to use my athletic record if I plan to join a sport?
