<p>I think that gym class this year will be a huge boost… :)) </p>

<p>But on a serious note, you forgot to put key info such as domestic/international and what school you are applying to (I’m assuming CC).</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>i’m sure you realize that CC only offers one very basic class in finance if you get accepted to the business management program as a sophomore or junior.</p>

4

<p>Yes that’s correct and domestic</p>

5

<p>Ok but on a more serious note, am I a strong applicant?</p>

6

<p>Well, your academics are certainly in the ballpark for serious consideration. I put your stats into the AI calculator and it came out 220.5 out of 240 which is probably right around the average for an admitted class. So, it will likely really boil down to how the admissions committee feels about your EC’s, recs and essays - all of which none of us can accurately judge. If you applied early, you’ll know the answer in only about six weeks, so it is probably not worth soliciting chance predictions from strangers at this point. Just keep plugging away with what your doing and the time will go more quickly than you think. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thank you buddy, really appreciate it. I need all the luck in the world</p>

8

<p>Does anyone else have any comments they would like to contribute</p>

<p>

This smacks me in the face as being somewhat nepotistic. Would you have gotten the internship if it wasn’t for your uncle? </p>

<p>Perhaps divert the attention away from this internship to avoid being seen as having things handed to you.</p>

<p>i also got an internship at ICBC International Bank. </p>

<p>What’s up with all the Chinese banks?</p>
