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'm not that great"...."Look how great I am".
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.
