<p>I mean when deciding between Wharton and CAS. They're both very good schools for what they teach, but Wharton is more prominent.</p>
<p>I mean they probably rejected you simply because they had other candidates with much higher scores...and have you ever seen the boiler room? "We don't hirer stock brokers, we train them."</p>
<p>good point -- i mean I think me pitching my business to Wharton completely backfired. But I can't try to be someone I'm not...so I'm not sure whether or not being candid was necessarily a bad thing.</p>
<p>This is more out of my own curiosity than part of any explanation for why you didn't get in, but what does your company actually do for Ne-Yo and Kanye? I clicked to your site and all I saw was that the navigation bar was broken (I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Ubuntu Feisty 7.04) and a bunch of social networking buzz words. I sort of get that you manage their online presence? Maybe? Do you run their Myspace profiles and pitch story ideas to blogs or something like that?</p>
<p>And this is total speculation on my part, but it's possible that if you don't include enough specifics about what you did at your business, they just saw it as a totally unverifiable EC and just wrote it off as too much trouble to check on,</p>
<p>I think when kids claim to own their own successful company, it throws up a big red flag, because most high school kids companies are a bunch of hot air. I'm not saying yours is, but if you didn't make it explicitly clear and include tons of details about your own involvement in the business as opposed to its success, that it hurt you.</p>
<p>Yeah PhatAlbert, I didn't explain it too thoroughly because I wanted to show that while I was running a business, I had other things going for me inside of school as well. Instead, I sent them a brochure of 10-12 pages with screen shots and descriptions of a new social networking site I am developing for the music industry. That was written in much better detail.</p>
<p>And as for the broken navigation bar, please elaborate... it seems to be working fine on all computers. But yes, you guessed it -- we do Myspace profiles, blog/online publicity, photoshoots, Youtube videos, etc. Basically the go-to-shop for online promotion.</p>
