<p>I am very motivated to pursue a B.S in Finance & Accounting, which I indicate in my application. I received professional help on my essays . I am mature and driven, which is all included in my essays.</p>

<p>This is my portfolio, can anyone offer me comments on whether I am a competitive applicant at Stern and Wharton? Please include your pro and cons.</p>

<p>Bear in mind that 90% of the applicants to S&W are “competitive”, though I would cite the fact that you flunked out of CC and have built yourself up again is a definite plus, b/c it shows your motivation. And Wall Street work never hurts.</p>

<p>By the way, what is a ticket runner exactly?</p>

<p>A ticket runner is someone who physically buys stock for the brokrage firms or in some cases for individuals. Basically they are the messengers who approach the specialists at the different posts and signal the orders. If I am not mistaken…</p>
