<p>My ECs are focused on what I really like: business/science. Hopefully I conveyed that because I’m going to apply ED for LSM.</p>

<p>Also, do you think I should retake the SAT to get my verbal up(>1400)?</p>

<p>Thanks again.</p>

<p>Freshman grades really don’t count that much. They’re going to be more interested in your junior year I think.</p>

<p>I don’t know. Your stats seem pretty ordinary compared to the other people who apply for the LSM program. It all depends on how you make yourself stand out to the admissions committee. Good luck.</p>

<p>“Manage money in stock market for a few individuals”</p>

<p>^Does that not sound sketchy to anyone else?</p>

4

<p>I was given money by two people to invest over a few years. is it just a phrasing issue?</p>

5

<p>Gonna need to get that SAT up on all sections.</p>

6

<p>how much would you say i have to improve? I think I can get 700CR, 730M, 760W (maybe).</p>

7

<p>if you could interchange your W and M score and bring up your CR by 10 more as above then it would be very good</p>

<p>Thanks guys. I’ll try to get those SATs up. Is there anything EC I can do? I don’t have any community service, but i feel like it’s too late and meaningless pad. </p>

<p>What would you guys recommend? I don’t have that much free time, but then again neither does anybody applying for this program.</p>
