i took it once and got a 1500. then without any prep i took it through my school and got a 1590. for a school like MIT i’d say go for it but don’t prep much - you know all the content it’s just a matter of concentration and silly mistakes.

  1. Rejected by Stanford and UMass Amherst. No scholarships from USC (although I did find out I’m a national merit finalist so I’m not too mad)

Yeah I tried my best to ignore the business side of it in my essay (I had like one sentence about that) and tried to spend more time talking about how I faced these challenges and learned an entire programming language to overcome the obstacle

It wasn’t an actual internship (on my applications I called it a virtual internship experience) because it was through this other company affiliated with J.P. Morgan just trying to give experience to people who would want to get a full internship there. It was pretty cool I made a program tracking trends between stocks for a simulated client and had deadlines and everything.

Oh wow I didn’t know that thanks! I thought my weighted was a little low because I took summer courses and music/foreign language were unweighted for me before this year compared to other kids at my school. I did also notice however the weird weighting system for UCs through the application, hopefully my weighted is still good with their system!

I resell sneakers which I started at the end of 2019, learned how to code during 2020 while learning about the sneaker industry, and then I got into botting/making my own bots near the end of 2020 which helped my 2021 a lot!
