<p>Basic Info:
Junior, International Student from Taiwan, Asian-American. Goes to highly rigorous private international school. Will want to major in finance or some business major
Currently a junior, and found out I had 3 C+'s on my junior year transcript...
I have always been a A-B student, with more B's then A's though
The two courses, I received C+'s in are, AP economics,Japanese, Honors Biology
The funny thing is that I got a 780 on the SAT 2 Japanese test and am positive that I got a 4/5 on the ap economics exam.
This bring's my gpa to a 3.3 (I know... I'm pathetic)
Iv'e scored an 2020 on my SAT 1's.
I have three years of internships (all business)
Have extremely good recommendation letters from people in high positions.
One from the founder of MILK Magazine (interned there)
One from the CEO of Formosa Plastics. Biggest conglomerate in Taiwan (interned there)
President for 2 clubs
Business Club and Fashion Club
200 community service hours
+200% net worth profit through stocks
sold a fashion goods trading company for 10,000 US</p>

<p>Why I am a slacker...
My dedication to my stocks and business pretty much explain it...
I also don't do well in my classes... but I know the content better then any other student...
I know more about economics then anybody else in my economics class...
I know more about Japanese then anybody else in my Japanese class...
Im just a person, who would rather spend his time on things I find important, rather then spend hours studying for something I won't use...
To be honest, iv'e learned a lot from my ap economics and have learned to apply a lot of it outside of the classroom..
I also learn a lot outside of the classroom then when compared to what I learn in the class</p>

<p>Iv'e gone on some college tours, and Iv'e fallen in love Babson...
Will most definitely early d it</p>

<p>Are Boston University, UC Irvine/Merced/Riverside/SD, Babson, Bentley, Pepperdine, Chapman, University of Illinois at Urbana Champagne like universities at my level???</p>

<p>If not, what colleges are at my level?
Any tips to improve my chances this year?</p>

<p>You seem like a really smart guy (10k company wow), and no doubt you’ll be very successful in the future, regardless of what college you go to. But I have a thing to say about a part of your post:</p>

<p>“Im just a person, who would rather spend his time on things I find important, rather then spend hours studying for something I won’t use…”</p>

<p>I used to have an attitude similar to yours - I felt like school was pointless, and so I didn’t try as hard as I now realize I should have. But recently I realized that while school may feel pointless, what makes a truly successful person (and a good applicant) is that they try hard regardless of how boring / inane / pointless it seems. It’s hard going through life working only for the things you care about, and not doing the things you don’t care about. What if one day you forget to do your taxes? Don’t go through school thinking “this is lame; idc.” Rather, you should embrace it as a challenge, because the skill of a good work ethic is a very good skill to have!</p>
