Is it possible you could tell me if I have a chance I could get in? I am worried I am wasting my time. I am a student at the Kogod School of Business at American University. I am majoring in Finance. I am a freshman.
My first semester ended and my GPA is a 3.87 (3 A’s and 2 A-'s) . My essays are following what you told me. is it possible you could see if i have a chance?

I have a recommendation from my business professor, who I am close to. I can ask my writing professor also.
My extra curricular activities include:
-high school investment club founder and president
- treasurer of student government for 2 years
- Financial Management Association at the university
- soon to be summer intern at the department of treasury
- I am planning on starting my own investment club at the University also next semester
- took an entrepreneurship course as a junior in high school at the University of Maryland
- treasurer of UNICEF club
- worked in retail for 4 years as a technology specialist
- getting an on-campus job next semester

My high school stats were:
3.62GPA (UW) 4.25 (W)
SAT: 1820 (Math: 650, Reading: 610, Writing: 560).
I am worried my high school statistics will murder me. Could you give me advice on how i could get in? My reasoning for leaving kogod is: i want a better social atmosphere (one that is more intelligent) and I want to be taking a more rigorous curriculum, unlike what kogod has to offer.
