FSU Honors College/Dorm question

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I recently applied at FSU. I received a 21 on the ACT, but I have really high grades about a 3.6 GPA. My GPA increased from freshman to junior year. I'm also involved in a lot of after school activities. I really want to get into Landis Hall and the honors college, but I'm afraid my ACT score will discourage them. Do I still have a chance to be accepted into the honors college? If not can I apply? Listed below is my college resume. </p>

<p>The average student who was offered a spot in the FSU honors college had a 4.2 weighted GPA, a 30 ACT or a 1970 SAT. I think you need to raise your ACT score to have a shot at it. Your GPA might be ok but I’m not sure what it comes out to when it’s weighted.</p>

<p>The GPA where I’m from is out of 4. Also how much of an impact does the essay have when you write the application?</p>

<p>Notice the other poster said the 4.2 was weighted. A weighted GPA can go over 4.0 and occurs when a student takes honors and AP classes. Your GPA should be closer to a 3.8 but that is not the big issue. Your ACT is way too low right now, try getting it up to at least a 27 or 28.</p>
