<p>I am hoping that my small business will set me apart, I live and breathe it. It is around 2 years old and it is still growing today. LLC, professional website, etc. I design, market, source, and sell longboards. I innovated the industry with a board that includes a carry handle (essentially a hole). My boards are in 5 shops all around the northeast and I sponsor many events. It is my passion and I love it. </p>
<p>Also starting my second start-up soon, guerrilla marketing firm, but not sure if I have the knowledge to do so. I need more education. </p>
<p>My Question: how do my odds look at these schools? Is there any chance that a top school will notice me although my GPA and grades are lacking? Am I the type of person that schools look for? </p>
<p>Thanks in advance to anybody who contributes</p>
