Florida Gulf Coast University

College Search & Selection

<p>I searched around on this site for some info, but I was still wondering if anyone knew much about Florida Gulf Coast University. I was rejected at HYP, Columbia, Vandy, MIT, Waitlisted at Duke and Cornell, and accepted into GWU, BU, and JHU. But i can't pay for any of those.</p>

<p>And here are some of my stats:
GPA: around 3.96 UW, 4.5ish W
SAT: 770R, 740M, 730W
ACT: 32
Hardest classes available (10 AP total - so far four 5's, one 4, one 3)
Rank: 4 of 80ish</p>

<p>And a list of a few extracurriculars</p>

<p>It might be a step down from what I was looking for, but is Florida Gulf Coast University any good? (FGCU because its cheaper than the rest and its still accepting applications! XP)</p>

<p>thank ya</p>

<p>Oh, change of question. Sorry about that. If I went to a Community College for 2 years and got an AA, then transferred to a local 4 year institution, would I start as a junior, as I presume?</p>

<p>There are a lot good schools still accepting applications. You might want to apply to some of them instead of CC.</p>

<p>I think your grades are good enough to get some scholarship money from some of these schools.</p>
