<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I left America as a sophomore (44 credits including AP exam credit) at a tier 2 state University. I have been working/volunteering in Eastern Europe for the past 16 months, and am currently considering transferring schools upon my return (fall 2008). I worked constantly to save money during my freshman year in order to do this, so my college EC's are a little weak. Based on my stats / interests, what schools would be a good fit? Also, are there any suitable majors I may be overlooking? I was originally a finance major prior to living abroad, but have begun to reconsider in light of my weak quantitative skills. Fortunately, I chose rigorous undergraduate classes which also fulfilled general requirements. I am very interested in a top MBA program, and have researched the diversity of pre-MBA majors. Should I more seriously consider a liberal arts major considering my strengths? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!</p>
