FBLA: Business Analysis

Decent Essays
In high school, I participated in the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). For one competition, I used an actual product that I had created and presented it to a panel of judges posing as buyers. I designed ‘towel pants’ targeting the water sports market segment using input from my sister’s swim team. With its unique material and innovative design, the product sold well. In the actual FBLA competition, I finished in fourth place at the regional and ninth place at the state level. Moreover, since I sold the product at my sister’s swim meets held at the McAuley Aquatic Center, there are likely a few Georgia Tech students wearing them today. To further my entrepreneurial interests, I would like Tech to provide an open and diverse learning

    Over the past decade, abuses by colleges operating in the for-profit education sector have been well documented.1 Buoyed by a tide of government-enabled financing, these for-profit colleges expanded their enrollment from 1990 to 2013 more than ten times faster than did nonprofit or public schools,2 and they widely engaged in aggressive and misleading recruitment and other predatory practices3—all to fill programs that had abysmally low completion and job placement rates. Many students that had enrolled in for-profit colleges were left with huge student loan debts and little else to show for their education investment.
