<p>I'd like to see my chances at the following colleges (either % or safety/match/reach etc):</p>

<p>FSU
UM
UF
NCF
UCF</p>

<p>and any other schools you might suggest (florida or not)</p>

<p>THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>I think you're easily in all except UF and NCF. I still think you'll get into UF though. You'll probably get into NCF, but private school admissions are different and I dont know what NCF looks for.</p>

3

<p>thank you! anyone else?</p>

4

<p>Probably in at most of those. But some grades in the classes you took and/or a class ranking would give me a more accurate picture.</p>

5

<p>Unfortunately my school hasn't disclosed my class ranking.</p>

6

<p>Wow, this parallels my application on so many levels. Ethnicity, SAT, GPA, Junior year classes (even business management), whoa...</p>

<p>I certainly hope you get into UF because i'm applying there too! :) hahahah</p>

7

<p>yay I hope we get into UF as well :]</p>

8

<p>You could do a lot worse than UF btw.</p>

9

<p>what do you mean?</p>

10

<p>I mean Florida is an excellent school, that aside from location has everything anyone could want in a school. I really wanted (and still do) to go to UF, but OOS is ridiculously difficult. It's also a complete bargain--especially with Bright Futures. </p>

<p>Go Gators!</p>

11

<p>FSU - Safety
UM - Safety
UF - Match
NCF - Match
UCF - Safety</p>

12

<p>loslobos71: sorry i'm kind a noob here OOS? and yeah I am aware of all the pro's to UF and am excited to apply there. </p>

<p>lebedev: you really think so? for some reason I thought UF and NCF would be reach, FSU, UM match, UCF safety</p>

13

<p>I would like to add Agnes Scott, and Emory to the list of colleges to chance.
anyone?</p>

14

<p>OOS=out of state</p>

<p>NCF would be more of a reach than UF, but I think you're in good standing.
I think you'd have a very decent shot at Emory--Especially being above the average SAT score+Hispanic.</p>
