<p>Do state universities even read these?</p>
<p>On my UT Austin (McCombs) app i did the optional essay, which described how i was introduced to the stock market in the 8th grade and learned everything i could then started investing in 11th grade, averaging 8% a month</p>
<p>Im not in top 10%, (missed by 1 person), so I'm really hoping this essay will give me an extra edge</p>
<p>Do alot of b schools even care about prior investment experience?</p>
