Research:

Conducted an in-depth financial analysis of Tesla, Inc., evaluating the impact of its sustainability initiatives on long-term financial performance. My research focused on assessing the company’s ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy, its alignment with investor expectations, and the financial implications of its sustainability commitments.My research revealed that Tesla’s sustainability initiatives have a significant impact on its financial performance and market perception. The company’s commitment to renewable energy, battery innovation, and carbon neutrality has strengthened investor confidence and positioned it as a leader in ESG-focused investment portfolios. A correlation was observed between Tesla’s improving ESG ratings and its stock valuation, suggesting that sustainable business practices contribute to long-term financial stability. Additionally, while Tesla benefits from carbon credits and government incentives, potential risks such as regulatory changes and supply chain disruptions remain key considerations. Overall, my findings highlight how Tesla’s sustainability efforts serve as both a competitive advantage and a financial growth driver.

To me this is the first thing that stands out for someone applying to “top 30” universities.

And I wonder about this also.

On your earlier thread you said “got into IU and Purdue and Rutgers so far”.

These are all very good universities. If you end up at any of them, expect them to be more difficult that high school. Also try to keep ahead in your classes and do as well as you can. Your uptrend might help in this regard.

I think that the schools that you have not yet heard from are all high reaches.

Your ECs are impressive and your GPA is good, but is not “wow admissions at top 30” good. To me this makes it hard to predict results.

However, you are already in at three very good universities.

Your story doesn’t add up. According to your earlier thread, you applied ED to NYU and have been admitted to Purdue and Rutgers and Indiana. Which is good because you may not have a single acceptance from the rest of the schools on this list.

Based on your numbers (ACT score of 28 & GPA), your chances for admission are poor at NYU-Stern, Penn-Wharton, USC, Michigan-Ross, U Florida, & Villanova.

I only see UMiami, George Washington and Virginia Tech as possible acceptances. Unfortunately I don’t see any of the others coming through.

But OP, you already have IU, so you have a great option in hand already.

Went test optional and I got straights As 7th semester. Do I still have zero chance at Ross or USC?

waitlisted NYU

I never meant to suggest that you have “zero chance” for an offer of admission at Michigan-Ross, just that your chances seem low based on your posted profile. However, your ECs may be very strong with strong supporting materials and recommendation.
