<p>I just finished my junior year of high school and I'm kinda freaking out about applying to college. I know there's way more to an admission decision than stats but I was wondering if I could get some insight from those of you that have gotten into these schools.</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.18. (that's what happens when you slack off)
Weighted: 3.88
I've had honor classes since freshman year
I had AP language last year and I'll be taking AP Lit and AP gov next year
SAT: 1570 total
460 math
540 reading
570 writing
I plan to take this again
Currently taking a Psych class as dual enrollment
Clubs: HOSA,SADD and English honor society
Sports: track and field last year and planning to do it next year also
Community Service: 75+ hours at hospital where I'm very involved,a lot of fundraising 5Ks</p>
<p>Okay, I know nothing about UF or FSU, but I’m going to apply to UCF, too, so I’ve done some research on it. </p>
<p>Is your weighted GPA weighting your honors classes, too? UCF has a special (and weird) way of re-calculating your GPA:
They ONLY count “cora-academic” courses (math, science, social studies, english, foreign language) and weight honors, pre-AP, pre-IB, etc. courses with +.5, and AP, IB, etc courses with +1.
You can read more about the recalculated GPA under ‘First Year Undergraduate’ here:

<p>Anyway, your SAT is a bit low, but you said you’re retaking it. I’d study over the summer to boost it (the CC SAT forums have study book suggestions if you haven’t been over there already). </p>
<p>I’d also do a few more EC’s next year, and make sure your essay & recommendations are good.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Okay so my specs are around yours (slightly higher GPA, SAT, & more EC’s (not more clubs)). Oh and a lot more AP classes.</p>
<p>So I’d like to see if you get in or not! BUT anyways for a real answer FSU doesn’t count recommendations in the admissions process. I don’t know about UCF or UF.</p>
<p>But I’m retaking the SAT / ACT again before the ED deadline!</p>
<p>Also what is your ACT score?</p>
<p>I hope you get in!</p>
<p>P.S. Apply early and shoot for summer admission to bump your chances!</p>
