<p>"CC= college confidential

<p>"I still understand why its not possible to search your name in a PUBLIC search engine like Google. Please understand, though, that I am not claiming you to be a troll."</p>

<p>I appreciate that. Where do you find those HTML prefixes that quote so nicely? Total noob here.</p>

<p>i hope that your wrote all of your essays about you making your business...because then you are a shoo in without a doubt.</p>

<p>so long as your sat scores are that around a URM...especially because they will expect a great deal of money when you graduate.</p>

<p>I will start college at seventeen.</p>

<p>i find it hard to believe too... i mean here in Canada, you can't even legally start a business until ur 18. But i guess if you really did something amazing, then its possible.</p>

<p>Congratulations on your huge success so early in life. You should have as good a shot as anyone at getting into Harvard (70%), but if I were you, I would probably blow off college and pursue the company.</p>

<p>I would be very interesting in knowing generally how you got started with your company, if you wouldn't mind sending me a short email (<a href="mailto:baschwank@aol.com">baschwank@aol.com</a>) in a couple months.</p>

<p>that's great stuff...
I'm writing a book. hopefully it will help high school students and earn meself some bling.</p>

<p>It's a tempting alternative but also a short-lived one. I need to invest in myself as much as In the company.</p>

<p>I will write down your email and get in touch with you when it's possible for me to do that.</p>

<p>Congrats. Donate your wealth to them... then you'll surely be a shoe-in. ;)</p>

<p>hes telling the truth. only a complete idiot would lie about something like that. and yeah, you look good. still, dont depend on it. if you start slipping in your grades, they might still reject you. even the most hooked applicants can get rejected if everything else doesnt match up.</p>

<p>When it is possible for you, please also email me. <a href="mailto:baboonster2@yahoo.com">baboonster2@yahoo.com</a></p>

<p>Well, it's great that you're a self-made millionare on paper, but when your filling out the app, instead of just writing about how you made your million dollars, I suggest write about your motivation and your change throughout the process. It's the learning experience that matters.</p>

<p>Congrats on the great accomplishment, however,it's hard to say whether your a shoe-in for the admissions process. There are applicants out there who apply with business entrepreneurship experience but they don't get accepted. This is by no means to discourage you, but no one is a shoe in when they're applying to Harvard, unless s/he is the son/daughter of the Dean of Admissions or something, idk.</p>

<p>I was wondering, are you planning on applying to Wharton since you are interested in entrepreneurship? I think you have competitive stats, regardless of the pending standardized test scores and Wharton is #1 for UG Business School. I know Harvard is the staple of US Colleges, but you should consider Wharton too. I got in ED at Wharton.</p>

<p>I have no info at all on Wharton actually and would prefer Harvard generally. But I'll definetely take a look at Wharton too. The problem is though that I can't apply to Wharton since I wanted to go ED on Harvard.</p>

<p>Harvard is single choice early action, which means that there is no binding contract except the agreement that you do not apply to any other institution early. If you research Wharton, you may find you like it better. If you do not and still prefer Harvard, then you can apply to Harvard early and Wharton regular decision. Students in the US usually apply to six or seven schools at varying levels of competition (reaches, matches, and safeties), and some of those students apply to one or more schools early (under early action, single choice early action, or early decision plans). For business, I will also suggest the University of Michigan, which is easier to get into but offers a very competitive program where you can gain a spot into their graduate business program as a freshman applicant, as long as you keep your grades high. Since it is a state school, you can apply to both Michigan and Harvard early, if you decide to do so.</p>

<p>You sort of remind me of this guy:</p>

New Media Age, a British trade magazine, named Schoolsnet its 2000 Start-up of the Year, and funding has been problem-free, even in the dismal dotcom climate. So what's Hadfield doing with his off-line wealth? His answer: there's not much of it. DMGT paid only something in the "mid-six figures" for Soccernet. (In 1999, Disney paid $25 million for 60% of the site and bought the rest a year later for an undisclosed sum.) While Hadfield's Soccernet stake was valued at about $11 million in a financing round last April, that's just paper wealth. "I don't drive a flash car or live in a flash house," he says. "Money's a side issue."

<p>Well at least he got in at Harvard.</p>

<p>They won't give him any financial aid. After four years of tuition and other fees, that money's gone. :(</p>
