<p>Supplement topic: (APPLYING BUSINESS)
Lakeview Tutoring Services Est. 2009: (Founder/CEO): I had problems with money in my house, dad unemployed, mom sick and then got a low wage job. My two sisters were in Medical School, they had loans, but they also needed some sort of money from parents. I needed to help my family somehow by doing something I’m good at, (not selling drugs haha), so I started a Tutoring Company by myself. Then after 2 years of tutoring kids for an average of $10 an hour, I made approximately 60 dollars a school week, along with 40-50 dollars on the weekends, I can say I made over 3000 dollars all together. </p>

<p>Recs:
Business teacher – PHENOMENAL helped me start the business
Assistant principal of math – GREAT
AP bio teacher – did not see, probably above decent
Counselor – mediocre </p>

<p>Weaknesses: GPA + RANK + SAT! AHHHHHH
Strengths: Probably EC load. </p>

<p>Chance me for this college PLEASE!</p>

<p>well, since tepper requires 2 SAT II subject tests, I wouldn’t say that its that great :/</p>

<p>Well like you said your EC are pretty good, especially the tutoring business. Unfortunately your SAT is kind of low for CMU and you have no SAT II’s, which are a requirement for all of the programs at CMU. Your GPA is probably on par with other people. I’m assuming you’re applying/applied for the Tepper School of Business?</p>
