<p>For comparison, for the entering class of '09 I was admitted with a 2.95 unweighted/ 3.5 weighted (I never really figured out my FSU GPA, so I don’t recall what that officially was) and a 1220 (1790) SAT/ 31 ACT, with 42 credits from IB/AP scores (with a 24 IB score and the IB Diploma). I got a 6 in History, 4 in English, 3 in Biology (my HLs), a 4 in Spanish, a 3 in Chemistry, and a 4 in Math (SLs). </p>

<p>I know stats have bumped up a little bit since then for admissions, but I think that you’re pretty well on your way. Maybe bump your SAT and/or ACT a little, but aside from that I’d say about 95% chance you’re in.</p>

<p>I would say that you are good, based on the FSU GPA and the rigor of your classes. The SAT is a little low, but you already mentioned that you are retaking it. If you can the SAT up a bit you should be good.</p>

<p>How do my ECs look? I’m trying two balance to jobs, one with the machinima.com network ([Machinima.com</a> | Gameplay Videos, Game Trailers, Gaming News and Original Shows](<a href=“Warner Bros. Discovery”>http://www.machinima.com/)) and one with a golf club, as well as being an officer in a club and member of several others.</p>

<p>Your ECs are pretty dang good, I’ll say that.</p>

<p>They like Suncoast. You will be fine.</p>

<p>Slightly off topic, but could you PM me your YT channel? I watch a lot of videos from directors in my spare time.</p>
