<p>Looks like someone got caught red-handed!</p>

<p>Sorry Detective, I meant qualifier!</p>

<p>Haha the classic qualifier to champion accidental switch. Of course. And your SAT happened to change from 2340 to 2380 since you posted your last chance thread? Congratulations!</p>

<p>Somebody give this guy an award!!! He’s on fire!</p>

<p>Well, with all due respect, you’re wasting your time by posting chance me threads in the first place (I’m a student, not an admissions officer–I have no idea what your chances are), and making up random information is only worsening the problem. Go out, do what you love, and then you won’t have to make up an amazing application–you’ll have one.</p>

<p>Parents work in finance or have connections at GS? Just assuming that’s how you got the internship, correct me if I’m wrong</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Was thinking exactly this… regardless, if a high school student (either on his own merit somehow or with family connections) could get an internship at Goldman Sachs (a company whose summer internships are fought for by students at every T25/Ivy), I think he’ll be fine either way…</p>

<p>Haha ya my parents do have connections there, but I still did well…</p>
