[</em>] Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.9
[<em>] Weighted GPA: 5.0 on a 6.0 scale... i'm not sure how to translate that into the regular 5.0 scale, but if you do a proportion its 4.5 on the 5.0 scale lol but I'm not sure if it works like that. I get good grades though.

[</em>] Senior Year Course Load: Dual enrollment post-AP English, Dual enrollment Differential Equations, AP Macro, AP European History, AP Biology, AP Human Geography, AP Computer Science, some stupid honors intro to engineering class
[<em>] Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.): None, just like the bogus school awards and the collegeboard AP national award or whatever it is
[/ul]Subjective:[ul]
[</em>] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): academic games (co-captain), Psychology Club (co-founder, vice president), student united way (secretary), math club, some other random clubs that i'm a member of but don't participate in

[</em>] Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): None, I think [/ul]</p>

<p>I basically copied and pasted this format from I think the Harvard forum so if you want any more information from me just ask ;)</p>

<p>my list so far: UF, FSU....my parents really want me to apply to Duke and Cornell. Are ivys reachable or should I not bother? Be brutal!</p>

<p>I think I'm going to go into engineering or something medical related or something. I don't really know I haven't really thought about it haha. Thanks for doing this guys.</p>

<p>Have you talked to your parents about the net price limit and run net price calculators on some of your colleges to see what your financial aid picture looks like?</p>

<p>Have you determined that UF, FSU, and/or other Florida public universities are safeties (both for admissions and cost)?</p>

<p>Note that if you are interested in engineering, Florida State and Florida A&M have a joint engineering division. Florida A&M is less expensive, and your stats would get an automatic full ride at Florida A&M as a Florida resident: [Scholarships</a> - Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University 2013](<a href=“Page Not Found”>Page Not Found)</p>

<p>If you need low cost schools, here are some more lists:</p>

<p>We’re definitely applying for financial aid. Florida universities would be barely any cost due to Florida Prepaid, Bright Futures, etc. Some money is saved up though. I think FSU is a safety and I’m not really sure what UF is. I think its a high match?
Thanks for the suggestion with Florida A&M but I don’t think I’d be comfortable there since its a traditionally black college and what not.</p>
