<p>^I took an internship with a financial firm that worked with “hardsell” brokers who worked their way up the chains to the Street. I was able to really see what I had a passion for and realize that what my parents kept pushing me into was not going to make me happy. I began to buy my own stocks and opened my own mini hedge-fund, if you will. Although it is not large enough to be called a business, I very much enjoy it and therefore wish to pursue it. I am also adept at language proficiency (I speak 5), which is a phenomenal asset to bridging barriers in the business world. Although my extracurriculars do not reflect it, I was hoping the “all-around” picture could help me a bit as Cornell does have a higher yield in terms of its ED Rate albeit AEM having a 10% acceptance rate. I would be more than happy to have multiple opinions on this chancing. In fact, I don’t know why others are not chancing.</p>
