I am a BMCC student majoring in math with a 4.0 GPA, and a full-time job. I taught myself how to code and I moved to NYC 2 years ago when I got a job as a data engineer. I work full time as a data analyst and am a full time student. I wrote my essay about some financial hardships I have faced and also my experience in nyc. most of my time is spent working and studying. I hope that reflects through my application. what are my chances.
Dude, your 4.0 GPA is awesome, especially while holding down a full-time job and being a full-time student at BMCC. Props for teaching yourself to code and landing gigs as a data engineer and analyst in NYC! Your essay about your struggles with money and life in the city adds depth and shows you're not just about grades. Wharton's tough to crack, but with your story and hustle, you've got a solid shot. Good luck, man!
