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,

To answer your question though, sure. If you are able to show your passion for it and what you've learned, then it will be helpful. The actual IRR is not important.
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.
OP, that was a painfully cringe worthy post. Nobody likes a pseudo-humble brag for the sake of ego stroking. Just be straight up about your stats.
yeap... reading now I see the cringe. Well, hopefully I will be less cringy in the future. But most like the cringe will continue
also - only 22% anunalized ROI in THIS BULL MARKET?!?!
Could jus thrown that $5k on FANG and you'd be able to buy UNC at this point
Should jus thrown it in GE.
