<p>I just finished my junior year at a public university, where I am a full ride scholarship basketball player. My GPA is 3.2 and I'm a finance major. My freshman and sophomore years I had my mind wrapped around basketball and wasn't thinking about a career outside of playing professional basketball. My junior year I developed a passion for financial analysis and would like to transfer to a top tier undergrad business school with a great finance concentration. My GPA would have been a lot higher if I had this mindset for my first two years, I was on the dean's list both semesters my junior year, as well as numerous awards from our athletic department and conference for academic success. I would have some influencial letters of rec. Would the fact that I am willing to give up my full athletic scholarship to a respectable basketball program to transfer to a respected academic institution help since my GPA is only 3.2. Especially since basketball requires a dedication of at least 60 hours a week to practice, workouts, conditioning, etc. not including travel and missing class. I also have hundreds of hours of community service and am a member of three clubs at school as well as student athlete advisory committee. I would also be able to write an amazing essay. </p>
<p>I am more than willing to give up my scholarship and repeat a year if that is what is required of me. I have researched some of the top bschools northwestern, u of chicago, unc, virginia, nyu, penn, and they take anywhere from 65-75 hours and I already have 92. I would be willing to give up the extra hours I have!</p>
<p>Is there any chance at ALL that I can get into ivy leagues with such a low GPA, being the captain of a d1 basketball team, and numerous ec's?</p>
<p>Please let me know your thoughts everyone!!!</p>
