<p>Hey guys! Just had a great summer semester (3.88 GPA) and loved FSU (except for mosquitoes and walking). Getting ready for Fall! I'm currently a freshman but really a "sophmore by credits" and am enrolled in the Degree in 3, So will be graduating in 2014. I was just wondering if I continue with this type of academic performance if Ivy League Grad Schools can be an option. Masters Degree was always a given for me, but I was just curious because I see a lot of people posting that just continue on at FSU or UF with grad school. Thanks Guys</p>
<p>A lot of people go to FSU or UF for grad school because of the cost. Not everyone receives funding for their graduate degree and FSU and UF are very well respected and still affordable. Also many stay in area for personal reasons, like not wanting to leave their friends and family behind.</p>
<p>Your GPA is high enough for an Ivy League, but you’ll need to score equally high on the GRE/LSAT/MCAT/whatever, great recommendation letters, and other accomplishments to bolster your application.</p>
<p>Check your graduate program rankings as well. Schools have different strengths and generally faculty like to see academic diversity. However, that is not always the case, like this example: </p>
