<p>Been sometime since I posted here but I got much better stats now
Mind chancing me for Stern and CMU?</p>
<p>Nationality: Singaporean</p>
<p>GPA: 3.5/4.0 . Realized this is a little bit on the low side but I come from Singapore which have an extremely intense education system. Would that count for anything?</p>
<p>Edit*: Oh yea. I studied a great deal of finance modules such as risk management where i learn about the Basal accords and stuff like that, wealth management, investment, corporate finance. Ahh you get the idea</p>
<p>Edit*: Oh yea, in the education system that I came from, we actually had a streaming process whereby a small handful of students would be accepted to certain course with is based on meritocracy. It so happens that I got into one of the most competitive course in my country and so my grades are based on those competitive students. Because of this, I do not think my grades are reflective of my caliber in comparison to the entire school. Is there a way to communicate this point to the admission team?</p>
<p>SAT: 1500/2150. Would a poor writing score pull down my application? I heard certain school disregard to writing portion</p>
<p>APs: Self studied everything. Is there a place to put that in the application?</p>
<p>Calculus Ab (5)
Macro (5)
Micro (5)
Comparative government (4)</p>
<p>Extra stuff I did:</p>
<p>Online Distance Learning with Oxford
Did Introduction to Philosophy which was an extremely tough course.
And Introduction to Macroeconomics which was simple. </p>
<p>EC: Internship with a bulge bracket firm. Won a national market-making competition. Was a head of a section in my EC. 22 months of national services. </p>
<p>Thanks !</p>
