Chances of getting into FSU?

<p>I'm planning on applying to Florida State University and majoring in English. I am worried about my GPA though. I went to school fresman year in New Jersey, sophomore and junior year in New York (Where I got mastery marks on 6 of the state tests) and senior year in Florida. Will attending three different high schools benefit me? My freshman year GPA was pretty horrible. I got mostly C's, couple of B's, a D, and an F in Algebra (which I earned an A in at summer school) I took 3 honors classes that year. Sophomore year I did better earning two A's, several B's and a C or two. (Btw sorry I do not have exact GPA's :/) In junior year I went from a standard English class to AP as recommended by my teacher. I Earned an A- in that AP class, two A+'s two A's, two B+'s and 1 C. I am hoping that the steady increase in grades will make up for a pretty unimpressive GPA (which I am not certain of at this point) This year I am taking 3 AP classes and plan to come close to straight A's. I plan on getting a recommendation from my Ap English teacher who has a doctorate (that's gotta help). I scored an 1870 on my SAT's CR:660 Math: 590 Writing: 650. I am half Ecuadorian and have a good number for extracurriculars. Now that I've overloaded you with every shred of info I can imagine, what do you think my chances are of getting into FSU?</p>

<p>also if there are any good colleges you think I have a chance of getting into and should consider applying to I would appreciate that so much.</p>

<p>Apply early - in August. Explain the adversities you have overcome and personally visit Admissions EARLY (make an appointment, credentials in hand, with your parents if possible) and make known your desire to attend Florida State. Make another scheduled visit if possible and follow up with email. Go to Preview…contact the English Department and visit with faculty. </p>

<p>Be persistent…and polite. Good luck!</p>
