Hi,
I am French and studying in a boarding school in the UK for 2 years.
I don’t have any GCSE’s but have the French equivalent in which I got a perfect score - 100% across 9 subjects. Concerning A-Levels, I passed Further Maths as a private candidate 2 years ago and got an A* and I have A*AA as predicted grades (maths, economics and accountancy respectively).
Regarding extra-curriculars, I did 4 internships - marketing department, private equity, hedge fund and asset management.
I also won a certification for the high performance I achieved in a nation wide portfolio management contest last year - top 30 out of more than 12 000 teams.
Harvard is quite a long shot, I am not expecting anything. The idea did not came naturally to me, my grand parents forced me to apply - also, my grand mother has been a lecturer at the Harvard Business School.
Moreover, I did an interview with an Harvard alumni last week.
Good luck on your applications
