Stock Market

Hi,

I’ll be applying to colleges in the US this year as an international student.

I just wanted to know if making money on the stock market can be mentioned on the app as an EC. Does it help in any way?

I’ll be applying to MIT, Stanford, Caltech, USC, UPenn, Princeton, Cornell, Northwestern, Duke & Harvard.

Thanks

P.S.- I invested money which I received from schols etc.

<p>Maybe as an extracurricular interest or hobby?</p>

<p>Definetly, list it on your brag sheet (if you are doing one)</p>

<p>You should list it as a hobby/interest, but don't list it as an EC.</p>

<p>ok, so i can i say that i made $1000 or so on the stock market in my list of hobbies?</p>

<p>p.s. - whats a brag sheet?</p>

<p>Just list it as a hobby, but if you do very well list it as a talent.</p>

<p>Your telling me you made a $1000, but that's only a 1% profit if you invested $100,000. So the question is how much percent profit did you make?</p>

<p>Brag sheet, list your Sports, Clubs, Community service, awards, ect...</p>

<p>Question: Do you have to report this on your financial aid forms?</p>

<p>???????????</p>
