A successful internet business can be a huge deal depending on how much real world experience you got out of it. If you can tell an admissions official about your personal experience with VC and analytics and target markets and financial statements, then you have the type of thing that makes for the cream of the crop applicant, provided you’re otherwise competitive… or perhaps even if you aren’t competitive if you’re lucid enough about your experience.

On the same note, this type of communication and story to tell is precisely the type of thing colleges are filtering for. And, since at this point most individuals won’t have this type of story, they’re filtering for students who have the potential to at some point.

For everyone else: mix and morph this concept so as to fit whatever field.
