<p>...So do you think I actually have a chance of getting accepted here? Please give me your honest opinions! I plan to be a pre-med and economics double major</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Pre-Med is not a major. It is a program/concentration.</p></li>
<li><p>Idk how you have a 3.8 unweighted and are still ranked only 180/325 in your class.</p></li>
<li><p>I think USF would be a slightly higher match, so you DEFINITELY have a chance here. Good luck!</p></li>

<p>Great GPA, so I’d say you have a nice shot. I’m with Cens10 though, I’m not sure how your class rank isn’t higher with that GPA.</p>

<p>If you’ve retaken the sat and gotten a 1300+, you’d get into their honors college. Even if you haven’t, I think you’ll definitely get in.</p>
