How much will this help?

Applying to College
1

<p>In 7th grade, I founded a web design business. I now routinely do multi-thousand dollar contracts for customers. I run the entire business myself.</p>

<p>I'm also currently working on co-founding a tech startup (education sector) with about $50,000 in venture capital. If things go well, we could see a net worth in the millions within a couple of years.</p>

<p>These are far and away my biggest ECs (>40 hours a week).</p>

<p>So, my question is how much will this help me when I'm applying to college?</p>

<p>By the way, I'm currently a sophomore. I'm thinking about applying to the following:
Harvard
MIT
Carnegie Mellon
Yale
Princeton
Stanford
Brown
Cornell
Georgetown</p>

<p>if you have the stats, the business will be icing on the cake…if your stats don’t fall into the range at any school, the business is great, but these schools (with the exception, maybe of Cornell and CMU) accept such a small % of their apps…would still be a reach…a reach for anybody!!</p>

<p>Well my projected ACT is 33, but I can get even higher with studying.</p>

<p>My GPA is currently 3.79 (low, I know), but it’s going up. (Will have >3.8 by end of this year.)</p>

<p>you have as good a chance as anybody with a 33 or higher on ACT and 3,8 or higher…with usual AP’s etc…</p>
