$2,000,000 Company

<p>3.54 GPA (weighted; 6 AP Courses/6 Honors)
1820/2400
Gunning for ANY Ivy League School, but UPenn is my #1
Trying to Run into Investment Banking</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Raised a $200K - $800K Series A Round for my Company
Official Valuation of $2,000,000</p></li>
<li><p>I owned a few other companies before it, but they were pretty ****.</p></li>
<li><p>Wrote a Technical Abstract for this archaeological UAV, Sample Code, Blueprints, I don't know how I could show that though.</p></li>
<li><p>Wrote an economics case study on prospective Global Currencies.</p></li>
<li><p>Have my name and a short story I wrote in a Book sold in Barnes & Noble, but my name isn't on the cover or attached in any official capacity, just featured inside.</p></li>
<li><p>Did an Internship for an incredibly well known #1 Financial Forum. I was the youngest person to work there EVER.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>What I'm trying to say is that academically it's sinking in that I'm not exactly "Ivy League" material, but it was because I was busy doing all these insane excursions.</p>

<p>Do you think I could somehow show that in my application essays to admissions?</p>

<p>I would have a 3.7 - 3.8GPA if it wasn't for a 2.94GPA I got freshmen year. I heard some schools exclude freshmen year so I'd really be hoping for that. I'm Investment Banking or Bust guys, I really don't care about entrepreneurship, but I'm really good at it.</p>

<p>Desperate for Advice on how I can Attend an Ivy League School with my **** Academics.</p>

<p>EC’s sound great, but ultimately they’ll be thinking, “Can he do the course work?” Then again they could be thinking “This kid can pay in cash.”</p>

<p>All Ivy League schools: reach (I’d say high reach if not for the EC’s)</p>

<p>Hey your EC’s are amazing If you focus on getting those across showing all you’ve done I’m sure these universities would have you. Grades are only a part of the admissions process…strengthen the rest of your application such as your essays , reccomendations etc </p>

<p>I think your strong EC’s will make up for your weak GPA. As long as it doesn’t go any lower, I wouldn’t worry too much.</p>
