<p>Well I know for FSU you have to have a minimum 500 on each section so maybe that was the reason you were deferred. As for UF, their standards/requirements are slightly higher than FSU so if you don’t take action now before their letters come out in Feb, you might be deferred there as well. The best advice I can give you is to retake the ACT and study really hard so you can make a better score which will help push you over the top because everything else seems great. I know you can do it, Good Luck! :)</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>You’re going to have to get your test scores up. Get a book and practice! Other than those scores you’d be fine but you don’t have a shot with them.</p>

10

<p>really? okay, well I took one last time and i find out my scores in a few hours, so we’ll see what happens with those…
did you apply there AHM1245?</p>

11

<p>took it one more time*</p>

12

<p>Oh and thank you fsubound ((:</p>

13

<p>No problem, and congrats on your other acceptances!</p>

14

<p>Congrats on your acceptances.
I also was accepted into FSU and UCF! :)</p>

<p>However, regarding UF, it’s a much more selective school (it is a Public Ivy). Your grades and extracurriculars are on spot. However, try and rise your SAT and ACT scores. I know that not everyone is a good test taker (I’m not that good myself), but with a selective and competitve school like UF, that receives a TON of applicants, the SAT/ACT plays a critical role. </p>

<p>You can always visit their website to check their median score ranges to know exactly where you fall and your chances of being accepted.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>I just raised my Math score to a 510!!!</p>

<p>& thanks anthony!!!</p>

16

<p>Yes I applied to FSU (accepted) and UF. Both schools are all about numbers so having the scores is really important to them</p>

17

<p>Yeah I’m hoping the 30 point boost gets me up there!
thanks for all your help (:</p>
