WSJ:Dartmouth: A Good Week for the Unsung Ivy of Financial Connections

<p>

Maybe I’m the anomaly, but I’d rather intern during the calendar year at Columbia then do a one month internship at some weak firm. That may just be me, though.

</p>

<p>Do you even go to Columbia? if yes, you haven’t even taken a class there yet, assuming that you got accepted as a transfer.</p>

<p>UChicago, Brown, Swarthmore, Harvard, Columbia. </p>

<p>These are the schools I love and each for a different reason. I’m not applying to safeties because I have other options.</p>

<p>I’m currently a freshman on an academic scholarship at a Top 20 university known for grade deflation.</p>

<p>HS GPA: 3.7 UW
ACT: 32 (will retake)
College GPA: 3.5 (hopefully, by the end of the first semester)</p>

<p>ECs: Scholarship Program, research assistant with professor at business school, director of public relations and serve on executive board of a student organization on campus, co-founded non-profit org., researcher for a renowned electronics firm on a unique project abroad, philanthropy chair of another organization on campus, intramural football, weekly mentoring, published poet, potential spring internship at consulting firm, lots of volunteer service.</p>

<p>Recommendations: should be great, but it’s really too early to tell.</p>
