<p>Background: I am a junior, 2390 sat, perfect gpa, basic extracurriculars of track, band, library volunteering. I am aiming for the ivy league so what I just described is as far as I know not anywhere near enough on its own.</p>
<p>The thing that I am asking about: I have been investing in the stock market for about 10 months and have since then made ~43% of my original investment ($3050 to $4367), which is very very good (you dont need to know anything about the stock market to answer my question 
). From an admission officer’s point of view, would this actually help me by a noticeable amount? Is there anything I could be doing to get a greater benefit (if there is any benefit to begin with) from my success in this activity in terms of college admissions?</p>
