<p>I have a 3.0gpa 1140SAT 580 verbal 560 math, I have rowed for my high school crew team for 4 years, a competitive club crew team last summer. I was a member of Key Club first 2 years, a member of ski club all 4 years, have volunteered with my church for 2 years. I want to go somewhere warm by the ocean like Southern Florida area or Southern California area. Any suggestions for schools?</p>
<p>University of Miami?</p>
<p>Cali: University of San Diego, Loyola Marymount, Pitzer, Occidental(reach), Whittier College(Safe)</p>
<p>University of Miami do you think I have a legitimate shot at getting in? I heard it was tough to get into and that it was hard academicaly</p>
<p>Also in So. Cal - University of Redlands.</p>
<p>In Florida: Rollins, Eckerd College (it's right on the gulf of mexico). U of Miami will be a reach for you, but a realistic reach.</p>
<p>also FIU and FAU</p>
<p>UCF, USF, UWF, Flagler College</p>
<p>In SoCal: Chapman University, Cal State-San Marcos.</p>
<p>i know you said you want schools in s. florida or so cal but what about coastal carolina university? it's on the beach in the southern part of south carolina. i think the school would be considered a "match" for you.</p>
<p>Adding to patientlywaiting's thought: How about the College of Charleston? And, there are some schools in Texas that might be worth checking out as well.</p>
<p>Look into University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando and perhaps University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa...UM and UF might be a reach given your SAT score...i have no idea about cali...</p>
<p>As someone said, consider FAU.</p>
<p>FAU is a really great school, up-and-coming on a lot of fronts!</p>
<p>University of San Diego.</p>
<p>Not in FL. or CA but another great school at the beach is UNC-Wilmington</p>
