Did I completely screw myself over?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>My freshman and sophmore year of high school (I'm a junior now) I acted like a complete idiot. I did absoultly no extra curriculars unless you count band. Because of my stupidness I have been left with a 2.8 gpa. However, now I am completely opposite. I have been trying to get into as many clubs as I can and get involved. I now have straight A's and am trying to take as many credits as I can get. I also plan on taking AP classes next year. Did I completely screw myself over for getting into a 4 yr university? Lets say I do really good on my SAT and ACT. What are my chances into getting into..I don't know..University of Florida?</p>

<p>I’m not familiar with Florida public schools, but probably more than half of the private colleges in the US will accept anyone who can afford to write the check.</p>

<p>Considering ur working hard now and now u have a steep upward trend u might have a fair shot at UF if u keep getting straight A’s. Plus study hard for the SAT and the ACT</p>

<p>I’m not postitive about this… but I don’t think money will be an issue. My parents are pretty wealthy…not to brag…</p>

<p>You will have many 4 year colleges to choose from. Get a Fiske or another guide and just start looking for schools where your stats fit. As long as we’re not talking about top colleges, an upward trend is very helpful.</p>

<p>If you convey this in your application, I believe you will get into UF. It’s a great school, and it gives its applicants chances.</p>

<p>hmom5 - it depresses me how accurate your post is :-(</p>
