<p>Hello all, I'm currently a softmore in high school and my dream school is Tepper school of business. I was just wondering if my current GPA/courseload is on track with what Tepper is looking for. </p>
<p>I didn't take any honors at all freshman year, I was intimidated by my high school and how competitive it was, I know that's probably a downer, but I attend one of the most competitive highschools in the Pittsburgh area (it's ranked #2/#1...it fluctuates year to year). My clubs freshman year weren't that great either, but I'm hoping this year makes up for it.</p>

Spanish 1: A+
Western Cultures Semester 1: A
Civics Semester 2: A-

<p>What classes should I take next year? Am I on par so far? What classes should I have taken this year to increase my chances?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>If I don't qualify for Tepper, what would be some other business schools in the country around the top 20 that I could definitely get into? I want to major in Finance: Trading/Banking.</p>
<p>Also, if this helps at all, I started trading stock when I was 15 (I'm now 16 and a half). My Dad gave me $1,000 dollars to start with which has now grown to be over $240,000. I love to trade and invest in the stock market. My dream is to work on Wallstreet and the reason Tepper is such an attraction for me is because of its great job placement.</p>
<p>I am a caucasian girl with my parents income of 200,000 annually.</p>
