My son has already been accepted to UCF,
USF, and FIU but of course his dream school is FSU. I’m concerned cause of his very weak EC’s. Here are the stats:
Weighted GPA: 4.5
Unweighted GPA: 3.65
Recalculated GPA: 4.1
SAT: 1870
He will have taken 5 AP’s by graduation and the rest honors.
Presently taking AP Calculus,AP Stats,AP Gov
Father is an alumni
Strong essay (we think)
Here is the problem:
Only Key Club for all four years (no leadership)
Did layout for school newspaper 10th and 11th
Part time job since middle of junior year
Varied volunteer experiences
Obviously the academic stats are OK, just worried that the weak EC’s will hinder his chances. He did apply for Fall, so maybe at least it will
Be good enough for summer? Maybe he gets deferred but really don’t see the point in that given his SAT and GPA. Plus, he’s never had a C on his report card in high school (only a C in 8th grade when taking Algebra).
So what are his chances given his weak EC’s?
Thank you in advance.
