-I’ve investing in stocks since I was 13. I’ve never made a bad trade, and I’ve averaged at least 20% on all of my investments.
-I’ve sold stock analysis articles for a site called SeekingAlpha.com, one of the highest ranked investing news sites on the Internet. I’m one of only five minors that have been allowed to write for the site, out of 1 million total paid writers.
-I hired and managed a team of developers to build an iOS app that allows people to sort tasks into step-by-step sub-tasks It runs ads. It’s been downloaded over 1,300 times in the last 4 months in 7 countries. I’m currently working on an app that lets people manage their sleep during long flights to avoid jetlag. That should be out in a few weeks.
-I coached a 6th grade youth basketball team.

I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to apply to Ross right away as a pre-admit or wait until after freshman year to do so if I get admitted and decide to go.
I’m just a bit confused about whether of what my chances are. So if someone would give me some clarity, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
