<p>Hey Guys,</p>
<p>I was wondering how much Stanford likes it if you were a entrepreneur as a high school student and had already made your first million dollars, specifically in the computer science field. Does this have a major impact on admissions at Stanford specifically due to Silicon Valley being close by.</p>
<p>Thanks,

<p>Why the hell are you even going to college if you’re already generating that much revenue?</p>
<p>Just another kid trying to either: </p>
<p>A: ■■■■■
B: brag
C: seriously express concern that they won’t be accepted to college despite prior success</p>
<p>If you’re looking for an honest answer, I have known a boy who made at least a million dollars from a business he started and didn’t make it. I don’t know the particular reason. I did know his stats weren’t spectacular.</p>
<p>Making a million bucks does not make you a shoo-in, but if you’re wondering if it helps, sure. It couldn’t hurt, right?</p>
<p>Sorry I didn’t mean to sound like a ■■■■■, I was really just wondering if Stanford would be interested in computer science entrepreneurs since they are close to Silicon Valley, I guess I should have excluded the $1 million part.</p>
<p>Yup, it’ll definitely help.</p>
<p>Well to share what happened to me I’m a web entrepreneur (funded and all) + I’ve been making apps since I was 13. I only got 1950 SAT1, but I had 43 predicted IB, good IGCSEs, 800 SATII French, 750 SATII Chem and what I thought were pretty darn good essays. I got rejected REA. So I guess it helps, but not as much as you’d think… Either that or they figured that we’re future drop outs.</p>
<p>Best of luck and congrats to all those who made it in REA!</p>
