Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>FOR UM</p>

<p>alright, let me paint this picture: Sheltered girl wants to break out of shell and go as far away as possible in florida. best bet? UF
problem 1: crazy hispanic parents have her on a leash
problem 2: because of this, they want to keep her @ hand's reach
problem 3: girl does not want to resort to mediocre education (FAU & FIU) and wants a promising career.</p>

<p>here are my stats & i would like to know my chances. also, if i do have a chance, when should i apply? Early Decision, Early Action, or Regular Action?</p>

<p>Youre a shoo in for both colleges
I think you could aim higher P</p>

3

<p>where do you think i can get in that is "higher"?
and please define shoo in lol</p>

4

<p>you should probably take the SAT's again (i am assuming that score is out of 1600, not 2400) and aim for about 1350. I think you will probably get into whichever one you apply early to anyway.</p>

<p>Can you rank me now?</p>

<p>Like I said, UM and UF are shoo ins. now expect big scholarships from them. </p>

<p>do u want to leave florida or u want to stay in Florida?</p>

<p>if u wanna stay, UM or UF are the best bets. I wouldnt worry bout tuition at UM cause ull get a really sweet deal.</p>

<p>Political science at FAU is not a mediocre education but yes, you could get a scholarship to a higher-ranked school.</p>
