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?

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.

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

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.

Applying to:
1)USC
2)Northeastern
3)Boston College
4)Chapman
5)GWU

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