<p>I am considering attempting to start a local sat prep business in the summer. Although I didn’t take a prep class, almost 50% of my school takes some sort of SAT prep. I want to milk my 2390 for all its worth. I know its not a 2400, but PR and Revolution Prep only require instructors to have over 2100. Many other companies have no requirements except “friendly and works well with children”. Probably with a friend or by myself. </p>

<p>NO ATHLETICS (although I did enjoy Rocky and worked out for a couple days after watching, tried eating raw eggs before jogging too, not as tasty as Stallone makes it seem)</p>

<p>Interested in top undergraduate business programs with a high ratio of attractive asian girls. Prefer a clean and spacious campus with tasty food too! I plan on a career in INVESTMENT BANKING. </p>

<p>UPenn Wharton
UC Berkeley
UCLA (Heard the food is delicious)
Columbia
Stanford</p>

<p>Are there any other schools I should be considering? Please save the Devry’s Online College and University of Phoenix Arizona Online comments for some other fellow. Thanks!</p>

<p>What were your A.P. exam grades so far… uh my prediction </p>

<p>UCB/UCLA: match </p>

<p>The others its hard to say. The UC schools really don’t give a whole lotta crap about your extra curricular activities. I know people who got into UCLA and UCB with just good SAT’s and Grades. Your EC’s are fine for those schools as for the other’s, i’m not quite sure.</p>

<p>I took ap comp sci 5 last year with chem honors and precal honors.
Taking ap bio and ap calc bc this year. They will be 5s.</p>

4

<p>Stop making new topics.</p>

<p>What is this, like #4?</p>

<p>UPenn Wharton: Very small reach (close to match)
UC Berkeley: Safe match
UCLA (Heard the food is delicious): Safe match
Columbia: Very small reach (close to match)
Stanford: Reach</p>

<p>bumpity bump bump bump</p>

<p>I feel Wharton is also pretty hard to get into. I would say Reach as well. Less so than Stanford, but still pretty hard. Esp. when you don’t exhibit any ‘business’-related activities. You speculate and plan, but there is no action and so I cannot include it as such.</p>

8

<p>true, but I can’t believe how fast these sat prep classes pop up and earn tons. revolution is relatively new and its huge now. just after 1 year</p>

9

<p>Wharton and Stanford are reaches. Columbia is a match and I don’t know enough about the UC’s to answer.</p>
