Re: poker on college application
[ QUOTE ]
Keep in mind that if you stop with a college degree, your education will be absolutely useless for anything you do, because you are capable of making mid six figures from now until the end of time and therefore will never work 'for' anybody with a BA/BS. The only thing you can do that would net you more than that is Wall Street work, for which you can simply go to grad school.

Are you really comfortable saying that? Poker might not be available as a lucrative career five or twenty years from now to the extent that it is today. Putting aside the legal situation, there are a lot of bright young people playing poker right now, and most of them are going to lose money.
To the OP, I would apply to the best schools you think you have a chance to get into. It will help in the future. From the disparity between your test scores and your GPA, it sound like you have already allowed poker to do permanent damage to your educational opportunities. I would plug this leak as soon as possible.
