Hey guys, I just want to know what my chances are like.
background:
parents are refugees
lived through domestiv violence
lot of friends are serving time
almost been homeless (Subsidized housing)
There have also been plenty of major events in my live:
one of my friends got recruited by isis,
some of my family members got deborted,
one uncle has been a member of a militant group till he got killed.
EC’s:
All these event’s and circumstanced had a huge impact on my life, but I learned to never give up and to get back up on my feet again.
I’m an official member of a political party, I help with organising events we also talk about issues in my district try to find solutions and debate with the city council regarding
some certain beliefs and ideas. For example I try to talk to people regarding the dangers of drug abuse.
I did an exchange year in the US, where I faced many difficult situation which helped me to grow and develop my personality, I learned how to deal with differences, as well as developing intercultural skills by
adapting to new culture, which I accomblished by participating in the Debate team, FBLA and competed in Business contests.
Took some Econ classes in top 5 university within my country and got some impressive recommendation letters,
this made me realize that I’ve got a passion for Business especially finance.
I’m also a “certified tutor” I give free lessons to some of my friends which not only leads to better grades, but it also helps them to integrate more into society. Which is essential for me, just because I wish I had this kind of help before
I also established a startup on 2010 with the help of my local youth center, which tries to offer free music to some of the kids, it expanded pretty well with multiple schools participating in it, it even got so far that we got nominated for the national price “best porject 2012”
However because of the competition with services like Spotify etc. it lost a huge amount of supporters till it officialy died during 2014. But even so, it should show that I’m able to found and manage an institution which definatly shows leadership skills

one of the biggest Insurance companies in the world (sold insurances and pension funds)
I might get an investment banking Internship at an BB in London
Languages:

income bracket: 20k<
hooks: URM, first in family, low income neighborhoods, 1 parent living of social security
GPA: 4.0 (translated by WES)
Classes: difficult to say hence I’m international, though I would get credits for them so they must be mainly AP classes
