<p>Wow, I feel like a n00b. How did you get a job in Princeton? You must travel a lot.</p>

3

<p>oohhh it was in Korea!!</p>

4

<p>Oh man. You got Canada, Phillipines, Korea, et cetera … seems like the whole world is all over your resume. Great job. I don’t know much about Duke & Columbia but I think you will get 50/50 at Penn (Wharton, right? Its crazy. For any other school of Penn, u will get great chances) and good chances at Northwestern (who happens to take most of their transfers from other pretigious 4-year universities). Good luck!</p>

5

<p>Thanks! I’m actually applying as an econ major for Penn and not wharton so I guess that might increase my chances. But I’m really hoping to get into my first choice, which is Columbia!</p>

6

<p>Looks like we’re competing :)</p>

<p>Both applying to Duke and Columbia as econ majors.</p>

7

<p>I’m applying to Penn and NU also, so I think your chances are</p>

<p>Penn - Good chance
Northwestern - Very good chance</p>

8

<p>yeah. if you are going for econ then I am in the same opinion with Ace. IMO, you will atleast get in either Northwestern or Penn.</p>

<p>@Swaggerer: I hope you will get in Duke or Columbia. Coz my cousin will be applying to UNC (and a few other schools) next year for econ. Your transfer will surely benefit her. lol</p>

<p>^Why the faQ are you talking about Swaggerer in discussion’s thread?? Dude the guys interned at the faQing world bank! this mother is baller, solid shot at wharton dude.</p>

10

<p>Was the world bank thing just a day/multiple day workshop, or was it a full on internship for like 8 weeks?</p>

11
