<p>I just need some direction without any college prep b.s.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>ahhh some guidence please</p>
<p>Take some college courses at FAU during summer, perhaps calculus, biology and chemistry. Try hard to get good grades and recommendation letter there by demonstrating that you could handle college level work.</p>
<p>Definitely focus on getting A's in all of your classes along with striving for a better SAT score. I'm sure then you'd have a good shot at UF, which is an awesome school!</p>
<p>yeah UF would be great except for that about 20 kids from my school apply with literally double my gpa and sat scores so its very annoying</p>
<p>one last thing...</p>
<p>my two cousins who i live with both go to washu, the first one was a shoe-in and the other was origanly going to go to tulane (transfered because of katrina) because she was rejected from washu and transfered in and now has amazing grades (another kid from her class who was accepted to washu, is now on academic probation)</p>
<p>i know its a long shot but two sisters, one of whom dominates after from transferring from tulane</p>
<p>how could i forget my community service project where i</p>
<p>collect money from friends and family about 100 bux a piece and i get a list from a local jewish foster care center (JAFCO) and donate the needed items....</p>
<p>i was kind of a foster kid, through a similar program</p>
<p>im not trying to be greedy but with looking at all of the other posts it makes me SCARED</p>
