<p>I have been an investor for nine years and a very active trader for about four years. I have also recently entered into trading options. </p>
<p>How unique is this at Wharton? Are there other people who have similar experience? Should I really push this on the application? Any help is appreciated.</p>
<p>If you're applying for undergrad you are around 17/18 right? So you've been trading since you were 9! Holy Shyt...I barely knew my numbers then haha</p>
<p>I don't think that it's extremely unique, however I think that it is less common to have your level of experience. Bottom line: it can't hurt. But it would be nice if there was more to you than investment experience, which I'm sure there is - just make sure you mention that in your essays. Lots of people are intersted in finance.</p>
<p>Alright, thanks.</p>
