I want to know if I have what it takes to get accepted if I apply for the fall session
I think I can get my act to a 28 or a least a 27

I would apply summer 26 ACT below 25% for fall and right at it for summer
Even a 28 ACT is below fall 25%
The rest of your numbers are good
Spend time on essay

Very good shot at summer or pathways if you don’t get test score up
If I am for fall what should my score before the act
What score should my act be for the fall session for Fsu if I apply for early action

Based on this years class
Summer 2023 ACT scores middle 50% 26-30 and Fall 29-33
You want to be in that range
Also, everyone has to do a summer session so it’s not a big deal. You take 2 classes for 6 weeks and ease into college life.
If I was recommending to my kids I would have them apply summer. I currently have one at FSU and one at UF
There is no magical score but if you are below the 25% your chances are not as good.
Your Unweighted GPA is great it looks like you maybe got one B in High school and you have rigor with AP’s and Honor classes
You can recalculate your Weighted GPA and it should fall in the range FSU wants with your rigor. add 1 point for AP and .5 point for honors in core plus foreign language classes.
However, it looks like you go to a very competitive High School since with your 3.958 unweighted GPA and 10 AP and 15 Honors you are barely in top 20%.
Can you chance me for summer admission?

I would recommend applying to Summer
Your test scores are fine
Your GPA is below the 25%
This needs some further clarification.
I take it you are talking about some kind of advance course that was not designated a Local Honors or Honors course. Otherwise, they should still be eligible for the .5 GPA boost.

If applying EA for fall, is summer offered if expectations not met for fall admissions? Or must summer be selected as the choice for admissions?

Any idea when EA decisions will be released?
Apparently ea is for florida residents only and out of state students go into the regular pool. Early comes back Dec 14 and regular comes back Feb 15.
