<p>I am a high school student ( about to become a senior ) and really screwed up my junior year GPA (2.9) including my first ever D,which brought my cumulative down to (3.1)
2010 on my Sat (720 cr, 650 math, 640 essay)</p>
<p>My EC's are
Took a consumer finance class at my local community college
1 year football (following 1 year in football club, helped found team)
2 years golf
4 years science club ( 1 as treasurer 1 as president )
100 hours hours community service ( a breast cancer haunted house)
4 Months as a host at Olive Garden
4 years first robotics ( 2 as a lead, confounding a new team this year with 4 others)
My principal, counselor, and several teachers are willing to write letters of rec.</p>
<p>The big reason for the GPA is that my family has gone through 2 deaths and a bout of breast cancer. I have been helping to take care of my grandma (deceased grandpa) and my aunt (cancer, likely will die) which has resulted in less time put to my grades.</p>
<p>sorry about the sob story. Anyway, I am a major business major (finance) and and would like to know if Fordham or University of San Francisco are in my reach? I would love to go to Berkeley's Haas (my original target before the events) and if I could transfer there from the above schools or if they are too low on the tiers.</p>
<p>Any other good schools or good transfer destinations that I haven't thought of would be appreciated, I am prepared to work VERY hard in order to catch up to where i need to be.</p>
