British citizen, moved to US for school when I was 16. All my family remain in England.
Passed level 1 and 2 of CFA and anticipate passing level 3 in June.

Graduated regional liberal arts college (nothing special) 3.8 GPA, in accounting.

I made the decision to come to America when I was 14. I looked around me and so very few people truly happy and doing something they LOVE. I decided if I wanted to excel and give myself the greatest chance of success I needed to leave. I began contacting boarding high schools and left for the US when I was 16, on my own. I have been here ever since.
I have a decent amount of experience volunteering at my old high-school. I volunteered for 2 years in the boys dorm, helping with weekend activities for all the international students. I also volunteered for 4 years as an assistant coach for the boys varsity basketball team. Then the basics like some social organizations etc. Nothing major here though.
The 5 schools I want to apply to are: Duke, Ross, Johnson, Anderson, Kenan-Flagler.
Thoughts or input??
