<p>Im entering my junior year and have no impressive ECs that would help me get into a top school, and I want to use the time I have left to be as productive as possible.</p>
<p>My dream school is wharton and my passions are east asia, finance, and business in general. Do you have any recommendations for ECs and steps I could towards them?</p>
<p>Nobody is answering your question because people can’t tell you about your own interests. In fact, looking at you makes me feel kind of relieved. It is too late for you, I thought it was too late for me when I learned all about college admissions in the middle of freshman year. Now as a sophomore, I have the majority of my high school career to do it the right way. By the way, it is too late for some people to make it into a top school, don’t think otherwise.</p>
<p>Now I know almost nothing about you, so I will assume you are a person that just knows that people on wall-street make good money. I suggest you read up on your future prospects, you cannot put your finger on a career and blindly try to go through with it. There are multiple resources on IB, you can ask people or even me for the sources, but be advised, it is generally one of the most boring jobs one can have.</p>
<p>Also, if it has been your choice to go into finance for a while and you still don’t know how the market works, forgettaboutit. A lot of the accomplished people in the business forums are also investors.</p>
<p>“Looking at you makes me feel kind of relieved. It is too late for you…I have the majority of my high school career to do it the right way. By the way…don’t think otherwise.”</p>
<p>SheenR, get off your high horse. You made some valid points, but please leave your ego checked at the door.</p>

The world of college admissions is not mushy-cushy, oh-don’t-worry-about-it, do-your-best. You aren’t going to get anywhere until you realize that truth. It is going to take triple the work as a junior to start what should have been started at the beginning of high school.</p>
<p>This thread died a while ago, there was no need to bring it up. I realize it was a stupid question. And respect your upperclassmen lol</p>
<p>I didn’t mention ibanking in this thread. Stalker/■■■■■ perhaps? And you are making a lot of assumptions. I browse WSO and M&I, but I’m not going to pretend like I know everything about finance. And I know IB sucks but it has great exit opportunities. </p>
<p>I realize not having done anything spectacular fresh and soph yrs lowers my chances, but at least I’m not a senior. Even if I end up going to an average state school or something, I could still work hard and transfer or network my ass off to get the job I want. </p>
<p>And I am going to think otherwise. I’m not going to give up and I will do triple the work, even if I have a low chance I’m going to take it and that’s all I can do. </p>
<p>I like your blunt nyc attitude. Good luck with your college apps.</p>
