Hello,
I am trying to narrow in on which schools to apply to, and would like to be chanced for some schools. My scores do not reflect me whatsoever. My grades were low during my freshman and slightly increased sophomore year, however my junior year I really tried in school and did significantly better. I also had a steady increase in the difficulty of my classes.For my entire life I have known that I want to be in business and specifically an entrepreneur. Outside of school I started a Sports News website that achieved profitability in 4 months and had 50 writers and editors in that 4 month period. The site has 3 million hits between now and December, which is when it was created. I also started working on a business to business commerce website that will compete with Alibaba and that will be completed in about 8 months. Prior to starting these projects I work for my dads company and was able to sell his product to multiple college food services. During the summer of my junior year I worked on name licensing deals for a celebrity and played a crucial role in development of 3 deals with Royal Caribbean Cruises, Liberty Travel, and Home Depot. By “crucial role” I found the proper contacts, created a partnership plan, and was involved in further development meetings, then because of the success, the CEO placed me in all major company meetings, and relied on me to provide him, with a “younger and innovative approach”. I also worked with a co-worker to develop a innovative marketing method to engaged couples. This method will be put into action in two major cities (NY and ATL) next year and will be sponsored by major brands like Mercedes and Uber. Lastly from what I learned this summer about licensing deals, I was introduced to a women who runs a successful business that is ready to expand. She trusts me and believes in me enough to let me run the business end of her company as it transitions from to a franchised and retail brand across the world.(I created the plan that we are going to follow, which was good enough to receive a $1 million investment.) My school profile is below, and the schools I would like to be chanced for. Thank you.
