<p>Your stats are pretty beast</p>

<p>You should be ok…I find that people feel better about their chances when they are compared with someone who got accepted the previous year, so here you go.</p>

<p>First off, you don’t have to apply as a Transfer to be considered “upperclassmen”. I came in with 73 credits from DE, applied as a Freshman and was a Freshman in the system until about the 4th week of classes lol.</p>

<p>Now for the stats: I’m male, multi-racial
3.96/4.62
5/453
1270/1910 SAT
31 ACT
Had only AP World and AP Human Geo.
Extracurriculars and like 150 hrs. community service.</p>

<p>I applied by Priority Deadline, but was seen as a regular because of a transcript issue. I was accepted nonetheless, accepted into Honors and got the Fresh. University Scholarship. So you should be good; never hurts to retake tests though. I honestly think my ACT and rank helped me out a bunch. :)</p>

<p>Side note, I also got into UM with a $20k a year scholarship and UF with their Fresh. scholarship…but FSU is beasttttttt !</p>

<p>I put you at 80% as it is… knock the SAT up to 1300+ and you’re a shoe-in with those grades and EC’s</p>
