I encourage you to pare down your reaches. Applying to eighteen schools requires a lot of effort, and will require many supplemental essays. Have you written a lot of those essays already?

How are UF and FSU sure admits?

I’m not applying to all listed, those are just some I’m interested in. And I don’t end think I’m applying to FSU bc I’m a gator at heart but I’m pretty confident in my admission to UF tho sure admit is probably not what it falls under

And I have started writing some of the supplementals but it is a lot of work

Congratulations on being a competitive applicant but for the schools that require test scores, prep, prep, prep.

You will be full pay at UCLA which is around $67K/year so make sure this affordable.

UCLA is test blind and does not consider Race/Ethnicity nor sex in their admission review.

You need to calculate all 3 UC GPA’s using only 10-11th a-g course grades. No weighting for OOS Honors classes. Only AP/IB and DE UC transferable classes taken 10-11th will get the extra Honors points in the calculation.

Have you taken a year of a Visual/Performing Arts courses which is a UC requirement?

I think you get into IU and UCF.

UF is possible as is FSU but neither is a lock. Wisconsin is possible but not a lock.

I’d be surprised at any other school.

And not all are direct admit business.

You need a few mid range or lower level - like a U of SC unless you are ok with IU or UCF and there’s nothing wrong with either.

Good luck.

Does The University of Texas at Austin have early action? We do not offer early action . However, we do offer a priority deadline for our U.S. freshman applicants

So far as I can tell, Duke doesn’t over early action either…just early decision.

You need to check these college websites to see what kinds of applications they accept.
