Hey bro,

I’m too a rising sophomore with an interest in business

First and foremost, everything you need to know about the business world can be learned about in the Investment Banking forum of College Confidential. While a lot of the stuff in there focuses primarily on IB, the people there have a lot of business knowledge and can tell you anything you need to know. They can tell you about the different kinds of business (finance and consulting) and more importantly, target schools.

I suggest you pick up the book “What High Schools Don’t Tell You” From Amazon.com or Borders or even your library. There’s a section there about students with an interest in business. When I read it, I found out that there are summer programs specifically for business such as UPenn Management & Technology and Bentley University’s Wall Street 101.

For your ECs, you should obviously do business-oriented ones. These include DECA, BPA, FBLA, Entrepreneurship Club, etc. If you don’t have any of these clubs, then make them! :D

Your grades look fine, btw. I’m at a similar rank myself. Just don’t get that 78 in math again… ever!
