Hey everyone. I’m applying this week as a sophomore transferring as a junior. My goal since I was a senior in high school was to get in the business school. First choice is Accounting and second is Finance. I am currently in a community college for financial reasons. Anyone accepted or know if I’ve got a good shot?

GPA: 3.88 cumulative (1 B)
Credit hours: 38 hours completed freshman year
Other: I am enrolled in acc. 202 right now, which is a semester ahead.
-have taken or am taking all requirements and recommended classes(econ 202,203, psych, etc.)
-a few leadership positions and other noteworthy experience/extracurricular experience
-examples include Business Club, Phi Theta Kappa, work etc.

Thanks for any help.
