<p>I have a 1790 combined SAT</p>

<p>710 reading
580 math
500 writing
28 SAT</p>

<p>And now for the fun part.</p>

<p>2.4 unweighted GPA with a 3.0 Weighted I have taken the AP classes of U.S history and English Comp getting a 3 and . This year I am taking Ap Physics C Mechanics Ap Literature and Ap Us Gov't having a B in all three classes although I don't expect to pass the physics exam.</p>

<p>I have roughly 75 hours of community service.</p>

<p>I understand my GPA brings me down a lot but this mainly because I had a rough time sophomore and freshmen year, does the school look at things like that?</p>

<p>Oh and I plan to major in English.</p>

<p>Your major really doesn’t matter, so moving on to the rest…
I’m not entirely sure how many freshmen they plan on accepting this year, mainly because last year they made a mistake and accepted way too many - we are now at 120% capacity because of that.<br>
Yes, your GPA isn’t good, but the way that USF does admissions is they look at your success factors - AP classes, mid-high SAT, etc. If you have at least 3 of those, you shouldn’t worry. Even if you’re a bit short, they will refer you to the St Pete campus, where they have even lower admissions criteria.</p>
