<p>More than 1 B a year generally doesn’t cut it for the better Ivies and no way for MIT (especially in math) unless you have something else that is stellar. ECs are average or subpar for Ivy applicants. If you can do something with the investments or start a mini-business that would help. For example, last year I played the stock market and made 20k on a 10 k investment. And don’t make excuses for Bs. Work hard to make them As because if others are getting As, you can get As.
