ACT = 23

Additional I got a D in a Computer Literacy Dual enrollment course i took, I am now taking an Introduction to Programming to mend for it, Not replace it but let FSU know that I have more than basic computer knowledge.

I intend to major in Computer Science

My low grades in my Junior Year are explained by a time my single mom needed me to work and help her at home, 30 hours a week, plus DE, AP, & basic school work.

What do you guys think??

Two Ds for semester grades will get your deferred or outright denied in almost all cases.

What really would kill you is the steep downward trend in your grades. You had a decent set of grades from Freshman/Sophomore years but they just cratered so far in your Junior year. You can list reasons for it all you want but the admissions officer honestly won’t care. They’ll see Ds and you’re going to almost automatically be out of the admissions pile.
