Hi, Im a Junior in High School and very interested in FSU’s academic and social vibe. It’s one of the top schools on my early list so far but I’m nervous I might be on the lower end of applicants. Just wondering what you guys think my chances will be when applying. Thanks!

Year: Junior
AP Classes: 4
Honors Classes: 8
ACT Score: 26
SAT Score: 1200
GPA (Weighted): 5.03 (On 5.0 scale obviously)
GPA (UW): 3.5 (Not sure if I calculated this totally correctly).
Extras: NHS, Key Club Officer, Baseball Freshman Year, Cross Country (4 Years), Marching Band Section Leader, Track and Field (2 years)
State: IN (Out of State)

Thanks so much!

I’d say you have a fighting chance. They have some in-state bias, but not enough to eliminate candidates like you. Your EC’s are ok, admittedly, but I’m pretty sure FSU relies more on objective attributes. Try to bring that score and GPA up in your senior year (it couldn’t hurt), find some other safety/in-state colleges, consider the costs ($38K overall per annum OOS leaves much to be desired), and enjoy your senior year! You’ve got a chance.

One of my friends will probably end up going there (unless he gets off of his waitlist). Best of luck!

I think you have a good chance. Maybe take the ACT again.
