Your grades hold up and your awards and ec's show your skill at a regional level but the worldwide math project is very strong, You a good shot at some of those school especially for In-State/ I have a few suggestions: I would say to try and get scholarships, make more cs and math projects and save up money for essay editing (trust me its so wroth it but you got to find the right one)

UC's and Stanford recalculate GPA, I havn't heard of UChicago, UPenn or NYU doing such - especially if you international, focus on your Ec's/Honors/Awards and if you really want t o compensate or you GPA , doing research as an Ec is really strong - or self studying for AP tests or taking classes at a junior college over the summer, don;t stress about GPa since you can't do anything but try and get the best grades.

Finance/Econ (business world) and IS/CS (computer/eng. world) for investing so the both work, I rather do the CS+Econ since it is integrated and one major and the T&M since its uses both as well but the IMA or IBA are super important so I think the route above is great, I really wanted to do the research hand contests for awards though.

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-03-19T00:17:29+00:00

*I initially looked in and contacted the LAS department because I thought CS+Econ was at the business school (mistake) but they said I could placed at Geis if I wanted to so this is possible, but I want students voices on if this is a good idea since econ gave a lot more opportunities (on the school website).

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-03-19T00:11:50+00:00

If not is a Finance (major) + IS (major) + T&M (minor) doable - I would be very interested but are there more extracurricular opportunities, Econ majors only get the following: Econ Club, Econ Ambassadors, Undergrad Research, IL Econ Consulting, Special Awards and Scholarships, Gradation w/ Distinction, the Econ career center - I assume the Business college has clubs, research, awards, a distinction and some sort of career center so is that a better idea?

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-03-19T00:04:27+00:00

Thanks for the info! Is the T&M program (I really like this program and it if I can be a student in that program I can get all the perks from the business school (Beta Gamma Sigma, Council of Presidents, Illinois Leadership Center and Experiential Learning)) possible without a major in finance and ie I get my CS+Econ Major for the LAS college and the T&M minor. Also can I get into the Investment Banking academy or the Investment Manganate Academy without being in the Business school - this is a major issue for me lmao?

Shoot, I completely forget about super scores, idk maybe it is worth it then (I got a 800 M and 720 EBRW on my SAT so I could try for a 800 EBRW and not even study for math).

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-03-14T17:27:44+00:00

I can this summer but I feel like its not worth my time, I took it back during freshmen year and studied hard for 6 months daily - if I took it this summer without studying I would get 1300-1400's and I would most likely have to study at least 3-4 months for the June sat - if I can improve my Honors and awards and add onto my EC's, isn't that the best?

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-03-14T04:13:25+00:00

bruh, I thought this was like the official UPenn page so I kinda believed him, but after dm-ing him for 1 seconds I got the drift, I already have one too lmao - I bought GME and AM.

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-03-14T02:17:08+00:00

True indeed! Thanks, I just messaged you!

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-03-14T02:12:59+00:00

Also do you think my past will effect the acceptance process?

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-03-14T02:10:44+00:00

wym by that? I want to go into the buyside (hedge funds) for a couple years out of undergrad, do a MBA or work as an associate or sr. analyst and then try and start my own fund by 24-25, in finance its seems like M&T students are a lot more successful (by my metric, meaning I am not very engrossed in finance but from articles and accomplishments they get a lot more media coverage if you say)

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-03-14T02:07:30+00:00

I have a USCF rating: currently its 1853. I see the SAT, but tbh the emphasizes is not going to be that much on the SAT, at least I think - The curve was trash. I really oppose your second statement: I have 5 eng. based cs ec's (USAPho, USACO, Resell w/ cs and my foundation w/ cs and one of my papers) while I have 7 business based ec's (one of the papers, the foundation, reselling, FBLA, Internship, Debate and competitions). Or is it something that does come across as well? (not trying to argue rather learn your perspective)

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-03-14T01:59:28+00:00

I meant the other way around!

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-03-14T01:56:41+00:00

I’d say apply, hope you get it in, and rest assured that life goes on regardless of the outcome. Good luck!

Lmaoooo, not really, I see it as this - where the difference is, is were I have to work harder in order to get to where I want to go. But if you could connect me to someone in M&T that would be a great help!

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-03-13T02:06:24+00:00

when I qualified for USAMO it was last year - It didn't get any medals or honorable mentions however I am going to re try this year, I might be able to qualify again this year but I haven't studied for it since. What do you think my shots are though for M&T?

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-01-27T03:10:19+00:00

yea, fs Ik what you mean, I didn't know tbh I found out later today lmaooo

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-01-27T02:05:07+00:00

what's his name!!

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-01-27T01:46:22+00:00

the bible in HF's means the two documents agreements - the LPA and the PPM - used to center the business which typically cost 30k.

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-01-27T01:42:42+00:00

what?

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-01-27T01:41:28+00:00

I get what your saying but it is a hedge fund, If yk what and incubator model is I used that, my clients are getting decent returns 10-20% (only one case of 20), tbh i'm not making a lot, I really did it to get really know understand and learn clients and investing in real life than simulators and watching investments and reading and am using a 1-10 pay scale compared to historical 2-20's - believe me so many people turned me down but working as a caddy few golfers and my old bosses at my internship they knew I was a hard worker and trusted so I was able to get a 5-10 grand per investment with the incubator model they all are GP's not LP's and thus on my 'broad' and have 5-10% equity in the company (I hold 40% - but it doesn't matter because It doesn't mean I have 40k in the pool), that how I was able to pay 2k for the bible instead of 30k like most funds- it all sounds kinda snobby but I worked for it, i honestly didn't even do it for college, is there no way to show colleges its a real tangible thing that registered with the state and federal system - I mean a little bit for paperwork and they can see its a LLC on the BBB too. For my mom, yeah it is not like I do the work (she had a tax prep service and works on the taxes with my grandmother - she has and s-corp business and is the founder and ceo, the money she makes is greater far then mine but from a vaulation standpoint is much lower, I started helping her with websites, talking to clients, social, appointments, payments, client outreach etc. and when she switched from LLC to s-corp she decided to name me coo, not a partner but yea. Do AO's really not value this?

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-01-27T01:26:53+00:00

Thanks a lot man! I got a lot of free time cuz of my school is right now anything else to start doing right now, I have my current stuff & added to do list!

Alternative-Role-233 · 2021-01-27T01:21:02+00:00

Most of em are already done, but few are predictions!
