Florida ( also can establish residency in FL)
Florida State</p>
<p>What is your CUMULATIVE GPA now? Is this unweighted or weighted? What is your class rank? How many AP’s are offered at your school? This info will help us chance you.</p>
<p>How will you “establish” Florida residency? Schools ask for your parents tax returns (on which you are claimed as dependent) and will see which state they paid taxes to/filed in.</p>
<p>Miami- my First choice-high match
Michigan-reach
vanderbilt-high reach
maryland-match
penn st-high match/low reach
syracuse-high match
delaware-match
Uconn-high match/low reach
NYU-reach
villanova-low reach
Florida ( also can establish residency in FL)-high match
Florida State-match</p>
<p>As long as I keep up my current pace, my Cumulative GPA for first 3 years will be around a 3.2 . My school doesn’t rank. GPA is all unweighted/weighted on same scale. School offers a lot of APs, If i had to guess probobly 2/3 of those available.</p>
<p>When I said I can establish residency in FL, it was because a few years ago when my grandmother on my father’s side was getting older, she transferred the rights to her florida house over to us. She’s gone now ( ), and we own the house and have been renting it out and paying taxes on it for years now. </p>
<p>What else would you guys reccomend as a match/reach/ safety?</p>
<p>just checked my schools site- they offer exactly 18 AP’s. I took the only ones i was eligable to take due to my early lower GPA not meeting pre-reqs.</p>
<p>I’m gonna have to disagree with everyone else about Miami. It’s improved a lot as a school and is becoming very prestigious. </p>
<p>Miami- my First choice-reach

<p>you need some safeties dude. I actually know some people @highlands… massive school! Sorry to be brutally honest, but i would scratch off some reaches like NYU and vandy. My friend applied ED to vandy this year with a 2060 (something like that), very good GPA and mostly honors classes, and also went to a summer program over the summer and got a recommendation from the dean.</p>
<p>Maybe try rutgers as more of an easier match and URI/Temple as a safety?</p>
