CFA® Exam

Hello all, I am currently in my senior year majoring in accounting and finance. I have also taken the basics of economics (intro to micro/ macro) as well as two further in depth classes into micro and macro. I am also on the rowing team, due to scholarship. Do you believe that it is possible for me to overcome the CFA® LVL 1 in June upon my graduation; therefore studying during my upcoming terms. Luckily I have loaded up on credits in the past, and could get by with 12 credit hours (the minimum), so can adjust my schedule accordingly. Also which study materials should I focus on primarily? I have heard that the Schweser books are good? Opinions? Please any information would help. I had also been interning with a Wealth management company, and they are happy with my work, and would be willing to sponsor me to take the Series 7. With that being said should I take the Level 1 or Series 7 exam?
