Schools
Familiar with Florida colleges due to me living there, and Bright Futures. But I would like the chance to go out of state as well.
Also, I would like to apply for the Questbridge Match. But I’m unsure if my stats are good enough to be matched or chosen as a finalist. If so, what colleges would be best to apply to through QB?
- Safety (certain admission and affordability)
FIU - Likely (would be possible, but very unlikely or surprising, for it not to admit or be affordable)
USF - Match
UCF, FSU - Reach
