Founded a Laker Website & Forum (has over 12,000 members). I think I can use this to show my love and passion for sports.</p>

<p>The biggest thing I have that I can put on my application is that I started and currently run a business. I make websites for small-businesses (eg. dentists), market them, and perform SEO. I can go to any of my customers and I can easily get a letter of recommendation from them if that helps my application in any way. Not only that, but I have some niche websites that also bring in revenue. I make just about $6000 monthly (excluding my father's business). I have also been mentioned on KUSI and NBC local news. </p>

<p>Schools I'm Think About:</p>

<p>-San Diego State
-University of San Diego
-Villanova
-Stanford
-USC
-UCLA
-DUKE
-Notre Dame
-Wake Forest
-Emory</p>

<p>I think I have a good chance but when I log into my school's Naviance, I see people with 3.9s, 4.0+ gpa get into the school. I feel my gpa is a little low. Will my race also help me or no? Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Let me get this correctly: You can make more or less 72k a year? Why go to college?</p>

3

<p>For love of knowledge? Or to drown in women. One of the two. I forget.</p>

<p>Also I feel like you have a decent shot at Stanford, keeping in mind that it IS Stanford and the admissions process is assbackwards idiotic. But from what I understand, they’re all about that entrepreneurial thing. You’ve definitely got a better shot there than me, even though my stats are a bit higher. Don’t underestimate 6k/month. That’s bank.</p>

5

<p>Buy women. </p>

<p>Pretty decent chance at Stanford, like stated before. Schools like Duke and UCLA are a little over however, as they emphasize more of a GPA/AP sort of route.</p>
