<p>Hi everyone, can someone help me with chances for transferring to the Carnegie with these stats or is it a far reach? </p>
<p>Transfer from U. of Alabama (currently 1st semester freshman dual majoring in Finance/math) to Carnegie Mellon</p>

Manager, McDonald's. 34 hours a week for a year (only worked Fri. Sat, Sun). I was 18 years old. I was one of the 2 youngest managers in the history of that local franchise, which consisted of 13 McDonalds restaurants over 30 years. I have strong work ethic. I had to wake up at 3:30 AM to go to work. I worked 16 hours on my birthday.
Managing a stock portfolio since I was 16.</p>
<p>I really didn't focus on ECs or academics because I was more concerned with starting businesses or working. I wasn't too motivated in high school, but everything's changed ever since I started college. I'm a freshman now, and I hope to transfer after sophomore year. I have one more year to boost honors and ECs. </p>
<p>Do I have any shot with my stats, or should I stay here? If I don't qualify for any of my dream schools, where do I have a shot at? Thanks for your help.</p>
