<p>I think you have shots at ALL Florida schools.</p>

<p>I suggest applying now to Florida State and retake the tests. Remember that FSU values academic work more than scores, but most certainly retake the exams after preparation.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>If you retake the tests in October, they will be used for the first deadline as long as you have a score on file with them on your application. Dont worry, you look good for fsu.</p>

<p>I agree. Get the application in for the first deadline with the scores you have. Note that you will be retaking in October. They will most definitely review your updated scores as long as you submitted the application with any scores. You have enough going for you that you have a shot even with your scores, and if you improve them, your in. Your grades and strength of schedule, and the fact you have passed all your AP tests for credit bodes very well for you. Good luck and DO NOT put too much pressure on yourself for the October sitting.</p>
