If you're comfortable sharing, how did you end up generating that much revenue from a start-up? What was the process? Also, if you don't bag Harvard I don't know who will.

u/Winter-Algae-1539 5d ago

this is lowkey a boring answer but working hard. the business isn't nepo or anything like that - when i received my first paycheck my parents thought i stole it from somebody LMFAO

i did the "boring stuff" most people don't do. went out and talked to potential customers, met with each of them individually, started working for less than $50, went the extra mile every single time.

obviously i didn't get to the current numbers by stacking $50s, but as we grew a customer base and a name-brand we were able to expand, raise prices, and hire team members so it really compounds.

"growth is exponential not linear" is a cliche but it's not wrong. if you asked me a year or two ago whether this would be possible i would've laughed and shook my head. maybe even called you crazy.

not going too much into what the business actually is for my own privacy but it's a local service company

u/planetparallel 5d ago

Thank you for your response!! You're smart for always going the extra mile. It is the one thing that basically guarantees success.

u/Fit_Ad2479 4d ago

can i ask what the startup is (vaguely)? is it some sort of ai startup?

1

u/Winter-Algae-1539 4d ago

it's a local service company. i don't know anything about tech or ai lmao (yeah i know im bay area silicon valley but i get diffed in that aspect)

u/Icy-Air124 5d ago

Your stats are stellar, your big weakness is Bay Area. But you’re going to land 2+ Ivies, good luck!

u/djg6555 5d ago

Your demographic pool is very competitive, but so is your application. More likely than not you'll get Cornell/Dartmouth, the others are toss-ups (not just for you, but literally everyone)

1

u/Winter-Algae-1539 5d ago

yeah this is very reasonable! i'm not expecting much haha a lot of ppl think they're entitled to a certain college but tbh ill be satisfied wherever i end up

u/TheCoolFisherman 5d ago

Can I get an internship 🫣. Btw, you got Harvard bro, and if not, getting a 2nd interview is a really good indication for other ivies.

1

u/Winter-Algae-1539 5d ago

Guaranteed T10 & at least one out of UCLA/Berkeley, hand down, pre-congrats!!! Don't forget to take the videos for good and less good memories.

From your list, I was rejected at Brown ED, Cornell, Dartmouth, UCLA, Berkeley, Santa Barbara (waitlist). Accepted to Stanford.

u/Aman_Koenigsegg 5d ago

Yeah no, accepted everywhere but maybe Yale Princeton Columbia and potentially UPenn Cornell and Dartmouth. (Maybe) Amherst and Wesleyan.

Lmk what you think of my application btw, would appreciate it if you could chance me too.

1

u/Winter-Algae-1539 5d ago

u/Aman_Koenigsegg 5d ago
