Early Bird!
Anomaly here! Well let's say I have came a long way to this forum.
I fell for IB (Finance at the time for me) when I was the school topper in eighth grade. In a third world country, I dropped out of school to pursue early business and economics high school courses in alternative (premium) curriculum. Literally taught myself without a single teacher or school and pulled off As. But clearly nothing like 13 APs or perfect SATs (far from it actually: 1440). However, I have been trading on simulators since I am 13 as well as running a freelance small business writing service. When girls my age were watching soap serials, I was writing Resumes and LinkedIN Profiles to collect money for my exams. In recent years my family moved to US.
This forum is no college confidential, even the most asking-for-it cases do not receive a trashing here. Everyone is resourceful and kind, so I thought it was time to jump into the jumble. I will be applying from UCLA to Umichingan to Boston College to Ivies, literally every where. But realistically, I am definitely doomed to UGA in coming year given my achievements look less impressive against school toppers of first world! Still, non-target success stories continue to give me some hope. Since UGA Terry does send around 20 kids to SRTH every year and some even to NYC. Anyone got any advice for me then please share.
Have a nice day everyone!
