what are my chances anyone? Thanks so much merry christmas!</p>
<p>I think that you have a decent shot right now. Keep your grades up, and take the hardest classes you can your senior year (assuming you can handle it). They like to see students challenge themselves. Take the SAT/ACT some more and try to raise your score. Your ACT and PSAT are pretty good, but it wouldn't hurt to have higher scores since you're out-of-state. And most importantly, apply early before the first deadline (it was Oct. 15 this year). FSU's acceptance rate was 36% last year (someone correct me if I'm wrong!), so it's getting pretty hard to get in. Good luck, and Merry Christmas to you too!</p>
<p>FSU's met program is the best in the SE U.S. and one the best (top 10) in the U.S.
See: FSU</a> Highlights</p>
<p>I'd suggest as many AP courses as you can handle in the sciences, specifically physics, chemistry and math. Meteorology is extremely math intensive. A family member is an FSU met grad (and works for NOAA) so I can provide more detail if you like.</p>
<p>Mmoran03 if you want an even better shot try applying for Summer 2010 =) if you get in for summer you can always contact admissions to see if you can switch to fall if possible.</p>
