<p>I also studied abroad this year in Southern Mexico. This was heavily incorporated into my application essays, because I want to become a Portfolio Manager, and specialize in Socially Conscious Investing. My time in Mexico was spent studying the effects of NAFTA and the globalization of capitalism, especially on the indigenous population.</p>

<p>My accounting professor and sociology professor (who is also a professor at Cornell) wrote my letters. Both were outstanding. </p>

<p>What are my chances?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Okay I know there’s a lot of threads almost identical to this one, and posting advice isn’t always fun, but can’t anyone give me feedback?</p>

5

<p>I really want to post feedback to help you, but I don’t know anything about those schools. Sorry, mate. You seem good to me.</p>

<p>To be honest, I don’t think you’ll have a great shot at Brown. It’s a very tough school to get into. I mean, don’t be deterred by me, but I don’t see it as very likely. </p>

<p>You might get into Cornell if your essays were good. Boston University seems plausible too!</p>

<p>As for the others…I don’t know anything about them, so I can’t help you there XD</p>
