<p>going on college confidential and looking at people’s stats scares the crap out of me, not gonna lie. but what do i know? i’m totally new here!</p>
<p>i think your numbers ad ec’s are what put you on the table (you’ve got a great concentration in math stuff!) but your essay is what will make you really stand out. are you confident about that?</p>
<p>my only concern is that you’re ed’ing at a business school but you don’t really have a lot of businessy stuff. econ classes definitely help, but do you have anything else business/leadership/innovation related? just wonderin.</p>
<p>uhmm, our school has FBLA but i didn’t participate b/c it’s a giant waste of time (in our state at least). My friend was in it and told me there were only 3 ppl in the state in his event and it was not competitive at all.</p>
<p>my school doesn’t offer anything else biz/econ related for extracurriculars :(</p>
<p>4X AIME qualifier? did you take the AMC in middle school?
Awesome SAT’s, terrific math EC’s (gj for HMMT), and lots of volunteering. I think you’re in at Stern.</p>
