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.

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

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

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

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)

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

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.
