<p>1050/2400 SAT? Did you mean 1050/1600? Plug your stats into the attached matrix to get an idea if you meet USF’s admission guidelines.</p>

<p>1050/2400. The only low thing, I’m not a well standardized test taker. But I think that everything else is alright?</p>

<p>It say’s Admit, With 5 or more Academic Success factors? What’s that mean? Lol</p>

<p>Here are the MINIMUM test requirements for USF:<br>
SAT - Critical Reading >= 460 or ACT - Reading >=18
SAT - Math >= 460 or ACT - Math >= 19
SAT - Writing >= 440 or ACT - English/Writing >= 18. </p>

<p>You need to prep and retake your SAT and try the ACT. And on that link above, the scores listed in the grid ARE OUT OF 1600 NOT 2400. I am afraid that you don’t meet the minimum requirements. All Florida state U’s have a minimum of 440 on each section, and very few actually take students with those scores unless they are recruited athletes.</p>

<p>sunnyflorida is right, you need to get your test scores up for USF. Take the ACT, many do much better on it than the SAT. If you are a high school senior it might be a tall order bumping your scores up in time for admission this late in the game–but it can be done. If you are a junior or soph, you have plenty of time to prep for tests. In any case, be sure to get with your guidance counselor to check on your best options for the future. Best of luck!</p>
