<ul>
<li>this summer...:
Mexico Trip (church affiliated) to build houses/evangelize
Still interning at Morgan</li>
</ul>

<p>yeah.. thats all i can think, theres probably some other stuff, but those are the major ones i can think of. not too impressive, i know. </p>

<p>so here we go.. i've pretty much narrowed it down to these schools. chances at..(order of preference)</p>

<p>NYU Stern (maybe early decision)
Georgetown McDonough School of Business (if i dont ED at NYU,then EA here)
Rutgers
UMD
Penn State</p>

<p>So i pretty much made NYU and Georgetown my reaches.. and the other three more target/safeties. I'd really like to major in finance, int. business..and i cant find any other schools that might seem suitable for me. I'd really like to know my chances at these 5 schools</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>now, i'm also a senior so my advice is technically worth nothing...but I'd say that you'd have good chances at Stern
what exactly did you do at your internship at Morgan Stanley?
i imagine some high-level work would sound really good to a business school</p>

<p>wow. morgan stanley. that is super. I wish I could have an internship like that. maybe you have a chance for nyu stern. Sure, scores are on the low side, but you have some good extracurriculars and WORK EXPERIENCE at ms. Wow. I would trade my asian scores for some more normal scores for an internship at morgan stanley.</p>
