<p>I'm currently a sophomore with a double major in finance and accounting at a small private university in Portland, OR. I finally narrowed down my list of schools and was wondering what my chances were. My college record is decent but my high school stats are awful. I went to one of the top private high schools in Hawaii but had some family and health problems back then and the low GPA is the result of that. Hopefully the upward trend will nix that?</p>

<p>College GPA (Cumulative): 3.53
Fall '09 GPA (Estimating): 3.7-3.8
Dean's List: Fall '08, Spring '09
Letter of Rec: My accounting prof is writing my letter of recommendation and she's really great so I think I should have a good rec.</p>

<p>High School GPA: 2.95
SAT I: 2020/2400 (CR: 710, M: 670, W: 640)</p>

<p>ECs:
-Finance Club, Accounting Club, Hawaii Club
-Summer Intern with the USAF PACAF (Office clerical work mostly, not finance related)
-Sole Proprietor of small business venue (Gross Revenue is only $2-4k annually though)
-Volunteer at local Buddhist Temple when not at school; cleaning bathrooms, helping maintain temple grounds, helping at fundraisers, etc.</p>

<p>Applying to:
1)USC
2)Northeastern
3)Boston College
4)Chapman
5)GWU</p>

<p>USC I know will be a huge reach but what about the others? Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Are you applying for an accounting major to these schools? UCSB has an AMAZING accounting program that not many are aware of. Also, with your grades and EC’s, you have a very good shot at getting in. Their curriculum and organizations concerning accounting usually get you in the Big Four right out of college.</p>

<p>Yup, I know at some of these schools a finance/accounting double is near impossible, so if I have to go with one, it will be accounting. For UCSB, I missed the UC application deadline so unfortunately, I can’t apply to any of them.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>
