<p>Did you drop out of the IB program? If you didn’t complete the IB program, then that’s a negative as colleges like to see that you took the more rigorous classes. This would impact you more at UF/FSU than the other schools.</p>

<p>With that being said, being URM, First Generation, strong EC’s and very good SAT (for the Florida schools) will help a lot. You’re biggest issue is GPA.</p>

<p>UF is a reach, only about 2% of the admitted freshman class had a weighted GPA less than 3.5. With all of the AP classes you’re taking, you may be able to increase your GPA your junior year which would increase your chances.</p>

<p>FSU is a low reach, only about 13% of the admitted freshman class had a weighted GPA under 3.5. If you can raise your GPA into the 3.5 to 3.7 range, you chances increase significantly…making it a high match to match.</p>

<p>UCF and USF are high matches/matches. If you can increase your GPA a bit, you will significant increase your chances, and with your SAT scores, you could earn a merit scholarship.</p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>(if you want to see the data, google UF or FSU “common data set”)</p>

<p>I’m from FL too so hopefully I can help a little…
I’d disagree that FSU is a reach considering your SAT score but improving your GPA is a good idea there.
As far as UCF/ USF you probably shouldn’t have any issues there many of my friends have gotten in those with similar or worse stats.
I think UF is a reach for you with that 3.3 GPA as it is… most of my friends there had at least 3.7s, but who knows.</p>

<p>Thanks do you need a chance?</p>

<p>UCF and USF- safety or low match
FSU- low reach (mainly b/c of your gpa)</p>

<p>try to improve your gpa by your senior year. everything else looks great! </p>
