<p>hello guys! i'm currently an honors business students at a state university in new york. although i have been able to flourish academically at my current institution, they do not offer the major i wish to pursue. i am looking for a business major with concentration in finance and nyu's stern school of business perfectly matches my academic and professional needs. to give you a little background about myself... i graduated high school in 2012 with mediocre grades and a 1500 on my SAT's (didn't try at all in high school). once i graduated, i went to trade school and learned the electrical field. i worked full time for a year and, for the first time in my life, fantasized about being back in school. although making the transition from working with my hands to working with my mind was difficult to say the least, i began my freshman year last spring and, at the end of this semester, will have 24 credits. i will be applying for transfer to nyu's stern school of business for the fall 2015 semester and, by that time, will have completed 28 credits and in the process of completing another 16. my gpa is a 4.0 and anticipate to maintain it after this semester. here are the classes i have taken during my freshman year w/ grades, the classes I will be taking the first semester of sophomore year, my EC's, and awards </p>
