The problem is that the OP’s resume reads like that of a 35 year old, not an 18 year old. The OP risks looking like s/he’s heavily exaggerating a number of EC’s, which results in making all of them look suspect. For instance, a human resource manager would usually handle things like complicated benefits issues and workplace disputes. I have a really hard time believing an 18 year old was filling that role in any meaningful way. I also can’t imagine anyone taking wealth management advice from a high schooler.
The internships are believable, but not particularly impressive in and of themselves. Self-publishing a book also doesn’t mean much. It could be an amazing book, it could be worthless dreck. The TEDX talk intrigues me.
@bronny, my advice would be to avoid fluffing up your experiences. Pick the most meaningful and focus on those without exaggeration. Excel as an undergraduate and you can apply to Ivy MBAs.
@bronny If you want advice, please present your profile without the exaggerations and misrepresentations. Post the REAL titles, what you really did, etc. Nobody here will be able to give you any useful advice is you present semi-fabricated information, which AOs will see through in a minute.
Are you trying to impress a bunch of strangers on the internet, or are you trying to figure out what your strategies should be for college applications? If the former, please go somewhere else and waste somebody else’s time. If the latter, provide information which as accurate as possible, given the constraint of remaining anonymous.
People here are taking time to try to help you. The least you could do is be honest.
I think OP is confusing a job resume for a college app. (And yes, stretching reality to fluff it up. Look at how many of us were quick doubters.)
It doesn’t bode well for tippy tops, which look for your thinking, whether you’ve got the right idea what does matter, did that processing and show it.
And have some of the usual hs kid ECs, the right interaction with peers, rounding. Not just outside hs or by yourself in your room. Too pre-professional is risky. They want a campus community.
How long did you do each of the things you listed above? How long were the “internships” both length of time and number of hours per day?
when did this start, and does it continue or did it end?
when did this start and end?
What did you really do. You were not an analyst and you weren’t a wealth management advisor.
And again, when and for how long?
Human Resources manager? What did you really do? And for how long?
be prepared to give this info to the adcoms
What did you actually do and for how long?
what did you do and for how long?
What did you do and for how long?
Self publishing?
How many days or hours per week?
I’m asking all of this because you are claiming to have all of these substantial experiences while also attending high school. There are only so many summers. It’s nit believable that all of these things happened in a substantial way in three years time (assuming you are a HS senior now).
What activities did you do at your school? You mention AAU for sports, but I don’t see anything about school involvement.
None, because most applicants have impressive resumes AND 3.75+AND don’t get in.
If you’re on the West coast, apply to UPuget Sound honors business program - a reach but worth a shot.
DePauw Business honors, same thing.
Babson is a real reach; Drexel, Bentley, and Bryant are possible.
Your GPA probably makes direct entry into your flagship’s business school impossible.
Try thinking of indirect paths.
Work on your resume: right now it sounds self agrandizing. Be ready to indicate the length and exact tasks. Have a supervisor as an extra recommender.
Do you know your EFC and how much your parents are willing to pay? For most students, where they go depends as much (or more) on the family budget as it does on the student’s profile.
