<p>How much do colleges care about prior investment experience?</p>
<p>Im hoping to get into UT McCombs, but my cheating skills weren't as good as those in top 10%, missed it by 1 person</p>
<p>I wrote an optional essay about how i was introduced to the stock market in 8th grade and since then i've been intrigued.</p>
<p>My junior year in high school i started investing with my money and average 8% return per month</p>
<p>Do admissions even read optional essays?</p>
