<p>hmm only thing lacking is your scores… bring them up then pretty fair shot at most schools!</p>

3

<p>Excellent chances at UF, FSU, Colorado, UCF and maybe for GWU. The others will be tougher. Also check into Syracuse and American. Best of luck!</p>

4

<p>get your SATS to at least 2000+ at youll have a much better shot at the top ones from here… pref 2100 even :slight_smile: its a lot, but im sure you can do it with some time…
if we say that they go up to 2000, then this is what id think:</p>

<p>IN AT THESE:
UNC-Chapel Hill
University of Florida
University of Colorado-Boulder
University of Central Florida
Florida State University</p>

<p>Match/Low Reach:
GWU
Tufts</p>

<p>Reach (but def. possible!):
Cornell
Brown
Gtown
Northwestern
UVA</p>

<p>This is what I think, I’m not 100% sure though :slight_smile: Think you have a good shot at them.
If you aim for 2100+ on the SATS, and make it, then this list will change considerably, and you’d probably get in to Cornell at least… I dont know why, but they just seem to have a little special admissions system! More holistic than most from what it seems like!</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK! youre def. on the right track! :)</p>

<p>Youll get in to a good school on that list.</p>

<p>If you stay in Florida I suggest [FSU[/url</a>]. It has the [url=<a href=“Rankings | Florida State University”>Rankings | Florida State University]best</a> poli sci program in Florida](<a href=“http://fsu.edu/]FSU[/url”>http://fsu.edu/) and you’d likely receive the [University</a> Scholarship](<a href=“http://www.fsu.edu/students/prospective/undergraduate/finances/scholarships.shtml]University”>http://www.fsu.edu/students/prospective/undergraduate/finances/scholarships.shtml).</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
