"Howard Hughes" What is this, college confidential? And for the most part, no one cares about what you achieved in high school.

More like incoming intern.

 

holy hell dude. I saw the title of this thread and said to myself "What is this, college confidential?" verbatim and was going to type it out

No idea how to leverage them? Seriously? In that case, 0% chance kiddo.

I don't expect you to disclose how you're connected to those firms, but if you want to figure out how to leverage them, either look at other threads on here (there's definitely useful guides to leveraging connections in the annals of WSO) or disclose how you're connected. Otherwise we can't help you. I say this a decent amount, but if you want custom tailored advice, the more specific you are (without getting too personal), the more people can help you out.

Also, was the SAT superscore or one attempt? If that score was from one attempt, I'll consider you, otherwise your resume is going in the shredder. (Kidding)
