Chances of getting accepted to FGCU, UCF, and UF?

<p>What are my chances of getting into UF, FGCU, and UCF?</p>

<p>-3.2 unweighted GPA, 3.8 GPA (It'll probably rise to a 4.0 by the end of the year.)
-Majority of my classes are honors and I have 1 AP class credit
-SAT score is 1260 with writing (really low I know.)</p>

<p>-Key Club ( 1 year)</p>

<p>-S.W.A.T Club (Students Working Against Tobacco) (2 years)
I'm also one of the county committee leaders</p>

<p>-KOSB Club (2 years)</p>

<p>-National Honors Society</p>

<p>-Photography Club</p>

<p>-Art Club</p>

<p>-Varsity Cross Country (2 years)</p>

<p>-Track and field (1 year) </p>

<p>-Over a hundred hours of community service</p>

<p>I'll also be writing an essay, and getting letters of recommendation. I'm really nervous about applying. I feel like my SAT score will hinder my acceptance. Numerous people have told me I have nothing to worry about with getting into FGCU ( I really want to go here) but I feel like any school I apply to, I won't get in. Can someone please give me some advice? Do you think I can get into FGCU? I know I have a slim chance of getting into UCF and UF. Oh, I'm also graduating high school a year early because I was held back in elementary school. Feedback would be appreciated!</p>

<p>FGCU: High match
UCF: Reach
UF: Reach</p>

<p>Your safety should be test-optional…</p>

<p>I don’t think any of these Universities offer test optional though…</p>

<p>I just gave you advice on what feature should your safety have.</p>

<p>Sorry to say, but I personally don’t think you have any chance at all with UF. Their average SAT is around like 1800s+ if you include writing. With that said, I also don’t think you have really a chance at UCF either, with their averages of SAT’s at about 1700’s+ including writing. Maybe I’m wrong, but I do doubt it. </p>

<p>I don’t know about FGCU though. The 25-75% range of their scores on SAT were:
CR 470-550
M 470-550
W-450-540.
From what you’re saying, even they may be a reach (But then again, maybe your GPA is high for them and offset it?).</p>

<p>I honestly think maybe try the ACT? Some do much better on one rather than the other, but with the scores now I don’t think you have much of a shot. And sorry if I ruined your dreams D: I just wanted to let you know. </p>

<p>Maybe you could even look into Stetson (private)? They are ranked #3 in southern universities, much much higher than FGCU (I think FGCU is #74 so Stetson is definitely better), and are test-optional. The application may even be free. Visited there and it was really nice! You can pm me if you have any more questions.</p>

<p>I’m taking the SAT again next month, and I’ve actually been studying. I didn’t study at all when I first took it and I didn’t know a majority of the math because at the time I was a sophomore but I’m graduating early so hopefully they’re be a lot of trig and algebra 2 on the test. I’m pretty good at that. </p>

<p>Numerous people have actually told me I have a good chance at getting accepted to FGCU because of my gpa and extracurriculars. I know UCF and UF are a huge strech, and I’m not expecting to get in, but I’m still going to try you know? I’m a great essay writer so maybe that will help. But I doubt all three would decline me, at least one has got to accept me.</p>

<p>Good(SAT’s can be mastered, wish I payed attention to that beforehand)! And maybe I am wrong about FGCU; it’ll never hurt to apply. Good luck with the SAT’s and applications!</p>

<p>Thanks! And thank you for your input, its greatly appreciated. :)</p>
