Would love to know my chances at Mount Holyoke, University of Washington, George Washington University, University of Florida, Florida State University, University of Central Florida, and University of Miami. I’m hoping to get into an in-state (FL) one. Honesty appreciated.

Congrats ? on your hard work. Don’t rush your applications. Take the time research the schools and student groups. Understand their values and mission. Demonstrate that you will be a great fit with your presence.
Safety. UCF. New College.
Match. FSU
High match. Mt Holyoke
Reach. UF. Miami. Carleton UW.
High reach. Wesleyan.
Consider USF and Flagler too for Florida options that would be more safety type options.
@privatebanker thank you. I’ve read that most people getting accepted into UCF are in the top 10% of their class. I am no longer in the top 10% due to transferring, so would UCF still be a safety for me?
Yes. In my opinion your gpa and sat are very strong. I think you are an interesting person based on your background and ecs. They’d be lucky to have you.
But there’s no guarantees, you can only manage the inputs not the outcomes. Out of your list, finances aside, I would bet money on a couple of great options for you.
@privatebanker Ah, thank you. Would enrolling back into virtual school for my last year, in any way, be perceived as a negative for the general admissions process?
@graduating2020 Don’t forget to check out FAU/Wilkes Honors College in Jupiter. It’s totally separate from the main campus in Boca. It shares the premises and boasts the Scripps Research Institute-Florida, the Max Planck Institute for Neuroscience, and FAU’s Brain Institute and Jupiter Life Science Initiative.
@onthewestfence thank you, I appreciate the information, but I’m unfortunately not very interested in FAU or small FL colleges. Thank you very much, though!
Congratulations on your excellent achievements. You qualify for 100% Bright Futures which will pay for tuition, books, and other fees making a relatively inexpensive (compared to others) college scenario even more affordable in FL. Well done! I wouldn’t worry too much about class rank as your raw stats are great. I’d be surprised if you didn’t gain admission to several schools in FL. UF is a wild card. More holistic than the rest and definitely harder for admissions but your stats make you competitive. If you can increase the SAT you would be very competitive. The others will likely offer you some merit on top of BF.
