Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Well long story short, I was a good student in high school(from South mississippi) but also a great football player, i received many rewards as well as recognition from local newspapers and online websites such as scout.com and rivals.com. Bottom line is I went to a school based on football instead of academic excellence. I ultimately went to a top football JC in the country to get more exposure and ended up signing with Southern Miss to play football this year but recently I have decided to step down from football and transfer to a higher institution to further my education and make things easier on me in life when I enter in my family business.</p>

<p>High School: 3.5 UW/ 4.0W ACT: 22 (Low only took it once)
Graduated with High Honors
Took all accelerated courses and 1 AP
JC: 27 hours credited with a 4.0 GPA (Played one season of football)</p>

<p>USM: Currently taking 17 hours all related to my finance major, mostly pre reqs </p>

<p>EC in high school: 4 year member mu alpha theta
VP of future republicans of america
team captain of the football team(3 year starter, lots of awards)
Help run local community Earth day for four years event put on by local garbage company.
4 year member of future business leaders of america
Powerlifting for 2 years. Won the APA raw national championship. Set a 16 year old world record squat lift at 675 pounds.(Still hold to this day)</p>

<p>Job experience: Worked 8 months at a local mcdoanlds as a crew member for extra money during offseason of football. I also worked at the local garbage company as a truck detailer(washer) and also during certain breaks and holidays i worked as a residential trash hopper(back of a truck in neighborhoods). Worked that job full time during my last summer and semester of high school. </p>

<p>In applying for transfer to both tulane and loyola i feel like I killed the essays and short responses. My dad proofread both and thought I did an excellent job. For loyola I got a great recommendation from a former acc. math teacher from high school. I have my fingers crossed but Im not really sure if I even have a chance. Please chance me!</p>
