<p>Athletics
Junior Varsity Miler
I play golf as a hobby, but have tried out 3 straight years for the Westlake team to no avail. I've looked around and any other high school in Austin would take me as a top ten golfer for their team.</p>

<p>Recommendations
First from a teacher who says I'm probably the best student he's ever taught in his 15+ years.
Second either from my close Physics teacher or awesome Pre-Calculus teacher.
Counselor loves me. </p>

<p>Essays
I'm a pretty good writer with a very vibrant voice, and I have some good personal experiences to write about involving finance and Wall Street. </p>

<p>Internship this summer at a hedge fund or financial trading floor.</p>

<p>So what d'ya think?</p>

2

<p>…in the Harvard forum?</p>

<p>p.s. I know who you are! Rode the bus to EKU with you this summer…</p>

<p>Haha yeah, my bad about the title. I meant Harvard undergraduate business. And cool, now I have to guess who you are lol</p>

4

<p>Harvard doesn’t have an undergrad business.</p>

5

<p>And PS, we’re not particularly looking for business majors on the trading floor. With the exception of Wharton, business majors usually are at a disadvantage.</p>

6

<p>Okay, well after all my errors have been shown, anyone want to actually just look at my stats and give some constructive feedback. Gratias ago tibi</p>

7

<p>People are so strange. I just gave you a bit of actual information and advice that you can use. Sorry it wasn’t a made up two digit number that will make you either feel better or worse about your future, despite its fictional nature. Here: 80%.</p>

<p>I’m not trying to be a smart aleck, or insolent or anything, I was just mentioning the trading floor thing as a summer experience outlet. I don’t want a number either, I would just like some commentary on any perceived weaknesses or strengths. Thanks</p>
