<p>Your Stats look great! Just keep everything constant, and you’ll get in. You just might want to take the ACT or SAT again. It can’t hurt, and you might do a little better.</p>

<p>I would say you’ve even got a good chance for the Business Honors Program (top 5% of accepted students). The CSOM Honors program is pretty awesome. Great attention, smaller classes, great contacts with professors, more opportunities, better for recruiting, etc.</p>

<p>Also…At Boston College, you can only get a BS in Management, with concentrations in various different fields…like accounting : [What</a> comprises an undergraduate education at the Carroll School?](<a href=“http://www.bc.edu/schools/csom/undergraduate/education.html]What”>http://www.bc.edu/schools/csom/undergraduate/education.html)</p>

<p>And I’ve heard Boston College has pretty good recruiting at the Big 4.</p>

<p>Boston College is one of my top schools right now! I’ve been accepted into CSOM Honors. Everyone in the program is so nice and helpful. Good Luck!</p>

<p>I agree. And as for Big 4 recruiting, BC is fantastic. CSOM Honors is very good as well.</p>

4

<p>What is the accepted profile for an Honors student?</p>

5

<p>I don’t think it is published, but your scores are very competitive for it.</p>

6

<p>Anyone from Carroll in the Honors program care to comment on the program?</p>

7

<p>The Honors program offers great networking above anything else. Also of note, you gain access to the top professors in the Carroll School.</p>

<p>Washington Student Finance Association:
A student run group that promotes the field of finance to students in the local area. Basically, my organization is a network of finance clubs. I’ve personally started about three or four clubs at other schools in the local area. We have a senior advisory board, comprising local professionals, as well as some corporate sponsors.</p>

<p>StudentRND:
This is a student run non profit group, that holds a 501c3 certification. The mission statement of the organization is to inspire students to learn more about science and technology, through the operations of an open workspace, with resources such as computer software, powertools, etc. Basically, as VP of Business Relations, I lead a team to receive funding from corporations and organizations. Before I took the job, the organization had brought in $28,000. My team’s goal is to bring in $17,000 by the years end.</p>

<p>Wow, that’s a very desirable resume. I’m having trouble finding leadership opportunities, especially ones regarding business. How did you come into contact with those leadership opportunities/start up those business organizations?</p>

<p>For my internship, I found the information on my school’s website. I’m not sure if your school has one, but my school has a career center website that lists a lot of internship/job opportunities. Many people don’t use it, but I decided one day to just give it a try, and I found it there, and just jumped on the opportunity.</p>

<p>As for StudentRND, that was through connections. There was a girl at my school that had been a part of the organization, and recruited me to try for the position, and I successfully interviewed for it. </p>

<p>And for starting my own organization, I have always had a passion for finance, so it began with starting a school club. From the school club, I took the idea of making a larger organization from a senior last year who had made a similar organization with Math clubs. With the help of a friend from another high school, and using connections that we had with other schools, we started the organization. </p>

<p>I would say to find some leadership opportunities, you just have to research and ask around. As for making your own, find something that you are very interested, recruit some help, and from there anything is possible.</p>
