Can I get into the Florida State Honors Program?

Applying to College
1

<p>I live in Florida and plan to apply to Florida State. I am hoping I will be accepted into the honors program there. I have a 4.08 "FSU GPA", a 1990 composite SAT, and a 29 ACT (with a perfect 36 on the english section). I am in the National Honor Society, English Honor Society, Beta Club, Co-Founder of the Law Society, a varsity football player, and have 5 AP classes under my belt. I am also taking 5 more AP classes this upcoming year. I have helped for over a year at my mother's nonprofit organization called Florida Little Dog Rescue. I also have almost 100 hours of community service and am a member of the local Methodist Church. If someone could let me know if this is a solid r</p>

<p>You’d be at the lower end of the average if you did get an invitation.</p>

<p>well i knew my GPA was on the lower end, I thought my test scores would be closer to the middle 50%</p>

<p>Hey guys I’m starting my applications tomorrow so if you could respond that would great! :slight_smile: Thanks!</p>

<p>It’s by invitation only, so there’s nothing more you can do than just apply to FSU. If you don’t get an invitation, I think you can appeal.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the requirements go down a little bit if you petition, so hopefully I’ll get in then if I don’t get the first invitation.</p>

<p>I’m also the sports editor for my school newspaper, not sure if this will help much.</p>

8

<p>My GPA with only my math, science, english, social studies, and language courses is a 4.38. How does this look for honors entrance?</p>

<p>Yeah you should be absolutely fine! If they dont invite you, just petition it and you should get in. My friend got in with and 1760 SAT.</p>

10

<p>Alright thanks for the feedback! I will definitely petition if I don’t get in on the initial acceptance.</p>

11

<p>You’ll definitely get it… Perhaps you might even get it at UF. lol. </p>

<p>(I’m at UF. I know a lot of people with similar stats to yours)</p>

<p>I’m not counting on the UF honors program, I actually know people with similar stats that got rejected from normal admissions! :/</p>

<p>It’s all about selling yourself. Writing a good essay can make all the difference. (I’m not just talking uf, any school)</p>

<p>It’s not all about grades… it’s presentation as well. I wish you good luck and hope you get everything you want (and work for! :D)</p>
