<p>I got into Stern ED, wondering my chances for Tepper. </p>

<p>Gender: Male

High School Type: Public

<p>GPA UW: 90 , W: School does not weight averages
SAT: Math: 750 CR: 670 Writing: 710 Total one sitting: 2130
SAT II's; Spanish without listening: 750 US History: 740 Math IIC: 750
Rank: Okay here is the huge problem, my school does NOT weight my average to determine my school rank which stinks because kids who take an easy courseload have high A GPA's and it is just unfair to people like me who challenge themselves and thus have a lower UW GPA. My counselor mentions this in my transcript and recommendation letter. My rank is then top 25% UW. My weighted rank is more like top 10%</p>

<p>You need a science SATII</p>

<p>8) I undertook an internship at Merill Lynch under my first cousin who is a floor manager: 240 hours; $10/ hour </p>

<p>I wish i could find a job that pays that around here.</p>

<p>In, otherwise.</p>

<p>Well, I had to beg my cousin to let me in, and the pay wasn’t minimum because my cousin is a floor manager. I wish I could help you, but it is difficult to get an internship at ML especially during these times.</p>
