<p>-ECs:</p>

<p>Main situation is that my father died in 8th grade and my mother had severe depression and various health problems (several surgeries). I also was sick sometimes because I was worried about our family. I did bad freshman year, with a 80% UW, and it's been going up since then. </p>

<p>I opened my business in 2008 and have completed over seven internships before that. My business is a registered corporation that I operate with a partner, and my duties are mainly fiscal and legal: I handle all the accounting, corporate taxes, corporate credit filing and building, payments, merchant and POS systems, and some programming, along with the business plan and tactics.</p>

<p>We currently own two patent pending products which are in development and soon to be launched, changing their respective industries for the better.</p>

<p>The company itself is a five figure company (midrange).</p>

<p>Colleges:</p>

<p>Essay is about the EC above, overcoming fathers death and opening a business and what I learned/how it shaped my personality.</p>

<p>Chances? :D</p>

<p>Holy… You’re definitely in with those ECs.</p>

<p>Haha, thanks. See, it’s kind of hard to show colleges the business without just listing. I really emphasized it (hell, it was my essay) and I definitely put the seven or so industry jobs and internships I’ve held in my resume.</p>

<p>The business itself is five figures, but due to internal development, it’s only making ~30-40K this year. Which means I’ll get ~15-20, as I have a partner. Hopefully they’ll see this on the CSS.</p>

<p>Any more input is very appreciated here. Does this EC really offset the GPA?</p>
