chance me please?

Transfer Students
1

<p>College GPA (after one semester): 3.77 in the honors program.
extracurriculars: community service club, working 25-30 hours a week. (i commute from 45 min away so it's hard to participate in as many clubs as i'd like to on top of working.) i would be in the business club but my school sucks and it apparently hasn't started yet this year.... yeah.
taking 17 credits spring semester, took 15 last semester. probably going to get a 4.0 this semester.
major: finance, wanting to minor in economics.
reccomendations: one from my advisor (knows me pretty well & i got an a in a class with him), amazing one from a business professor i had (marked me top 1% in all but 2 categories.)</p>

<p>i'm in the honors program at my college which is about the top 10% of the entire class, maybe a little less. this means i take two classes exclusively with my honors peers a semester & designate one more course a semester to count towards honors credits. (this means i do more work for the course than non-honors students.) the college i'm at not however does not have very high standards outside of the honors program... if i wasn't in it i'd probably have a 4.0 without trying.</p>

<p>High School GPA: n/a (i didn't have one. i moved around a lot so technically i didn't have one. if i had to estimate it'd be around a 2.8)
i was the typical lazy student story... i've always been smart but just never did any work. i had like a 1.8 gpa after freshman and sophomore year.. junior year i got around a 3.0, and senior year i got a 3.8. i really didn't get my act together until senior year, i got high honors every quarter.
senior year i won an uconn book award.
clubs: art club 2 years, diversity club 1 year, school newspaper senior year.
-maybe 50 hours of volunteering if that matters?
-worked nonstop since the summer after my freshman year.
SAT score: 1200 / 1600 & 1840 / 2400. (cr 690, m 510, w 640)</p>

<p>i wish my math score was higher but i retook the sats oct of 09 and it stayed exactly the same. :/</p>

<p>chance me for
-simmons college
-boston university
-northeastern
-bentley university
-babson
-boston college</p>

<p>simmons is my top choice right now. they invited me to be in their honors program but i'm not sure if i want to do it because if i end up there i'll be starting the accelerated mba program senior year. idk if i could handle that on top of a senior year honors project.
the other schools i'm not sure that i could get into (because i did so poorly in high school and my math sat score is pretty low...) but i thought it'd be worth a shot asking here.</p>

<p>the only problem i see for you is your high school gpa since it is weighted heavily since you are applying as a sophomore transfer. Either wait another year so you your high school stats won’t weight so heavy or go to simmons and then transfer out.</p>

<p>thanks. :)</p>

<p>Many of those schools offer spring admissions so you don’t necessarily have to wait another year.</p>

<p>true, but i’m really anxious to get to boston and out of my current school. simmons is my first choice and i’m assuming that since they sent the letter asking me to apply to their honors program, i have a good shot at getting into the regular undergrad program which is good enough for me. i’ve visited & interviewed there and really liked it, i was just wondering what my chances would be at the other schools in case simmons falls through for some reason.</p>
