<p>If I may: My advice to Kendall is with the goal to get him into a school like Princeton where he might have the chance to become a financier. He seems quite accomplished already. However, I wanted to caution him to not wear his intentions so emblazoned on his forehead – for fear of being labeled “novel” or “quaint”, to be blunt. </p>
<p>Successful WallSt candidates let their achievements in quantitative coursework speak for themselves (given his top scores, I would rather think he’s got an inside edge alread). At the heart of it, if he has the chops and it’s still his desire, I hope he gets in 100%. </p>
<p>However, I can’t shake the feeling that I get when I read some random student who posts on CC about how he has got to get into an Ivy League school although if you query him, he has no idea what the Ivy league schools are about besides their reputation.</p>
