I am freshmen Finance major at JMU and I’m trying to transfer to WandM next fall. I know its too early to be able to tell whether I have a good chance of getting in or not.
I’m really just posting this to ask what I need to do to better my chances.

My high school stats are pretty weak;

GPA; 3.4ish (weighted with some of the few APs and honors my school offered)
SAT: 1300 (willing to study and retake it Christmas break)

I took classes @ NOVA over the summer and got

A: Microeconomics
B: Writing course

*I’m thinking about not adding this to my transcript if adding it lowers my GPA-Idk if that’s a good idea

Classes at JMU:

Microeconomics (I kinda stayed in this for the reason above)
Macroeconomics
Introductory Calc
A Humanities class
Comm. class

*I’m confident I can have a solid GPA in these classes so far I’m doing very well in my midterms

Extracurriculars :
FMA (Financial Management Association)

*what other types of clubs would look really good on a transcript?

Is there anything else I could do that I haven’t asked about?
