Will personal investment success help me get into a good university?

Hello, I am high school junior. Nothing is too special about me or anything thing I do, 4.0 GPA and top 5% in my class and a 3 sport varsity athlete and captain, besides this one thing. I got my first job when I was 14 working in a bike shop as a mechanic and salesman. With this income I earned through this I researched and started to invested. Now, 4 years later, I have an average ROI of 22% per year for all four years (plus or minus 3 percent). I have turned $5,500 into $11,750 in only 4 years. As I look at colleges like UNC Chapel Hill, will this help me get into these colleges?

Thanks for your replies,

JF

I didn't know if that information would effect how people and colleges would view this, so I just included it.

Thank you for your reply.
