Chances for FGCU

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey all,
I know FGCU isn't that difficult to get into.. but it's close to home and I'd really like to get in there. Should get a decision soon. I'm planning on majoring in journalism/communications. My math grades haven't been hot but I'm hoping they don't weigh that too heavily for a writing based major. I'm also applying at FAU (probably equal the chance of FGCU) and UCF (a stretch but might as well try).</p>

<p>November '09 SATs:
Critical Reading: 570
Writing: 560
Math: 380
Just took the January SAT. Reading/writing should be much better, hoping the math goes up. I've read that FGCU's minimum math SAT is 440 so I'm not sure if I get automatically rejected for the one I have.. I hope not.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.20
Class rank is 216/486
Current classes:
Composition II (dual credit) (Got an A last semester in Comp I)
French II (B+ last semester)
Journalism (A last semester)
Marine Biology (New course this semester.. expecting a high A)
Digital Design (A last semester)
Economics (A in Government last semester)</p>

<p>I've gotten mostly A's and B's my whole time in high school, except for in math (my struggle, C average). I've taken Honors English, and Honors World/American history with A's and B's.</p>

<p>I've gotten accepted to St. Leo and Johnson and Wales but I want to go the public route.</p>

<p>Any insight would be appreciated ;)</p>

<p>I have around the same grades as you and Im going to apply so Id like to know also</p>

<p>Hopefully someone will reply. I’ve talked to a couple current FGCU people I know and they got in with similar grades, so I’m hopeful. Just worried about the math score though.</p>

<p>You are good for FGCU. They are currently looking for alot of students. If you could maybe somehow push that SAT to 1000 I would say you are a sure thing.</p>

<p>Thanks. It should get up to 1000, I felt like I did much better on the last SAT than on my first. I figure the A in my college English course should help with everything.</p>

<p>My daughter got in with a 430 in Math and 450 in Reading, 19 ACT and 3.0 GPA weighted. She also had 3 recommendation letter. Now she’s talking about going to Central Florida Community College because she wants to become a Equine Vet.</p>
