Hi all, I'm new to the forum, just found it by chance. I'm a junior in high school and hope to go to a business school post high school, and then maybe an MBA. I'm looking at schools such as MIT's Sloan, Penn's Wharton, NYU Stern, among a few others. In the past school years I've taken Business Management, Career Management, Intro to Business, and am now taking College Accounting, and College Business Law. Over the summer I'll be going to an economics and leadership program, and will probably be taking financial management next year. Just wanted to introduce myself.
