<p>Thanks for encouragement. I took rigorous classes-all honors, dual enrollment college classes at my high school, and a few AP classes. In fact I will have 43 transferable college semester credits when I graduate from high school next May. What's nice is they were free-including my books. Don't know how much FSU likes the 43 credits in making their admission decision. My college classes GPA is around 3.4, so it's not like I can't do college work. Maybe they just are uncomfortable with my ACT/SAT scores. Any way I've got my math, science, language, and english college requirements all ready done.</p>

<p>To Lizard:</p>
<p>FSU will NOT accept you unless you have 500 verbal on SAT or 22 reading subscore on the ACT...It's a rule set in stone. They won't even consider you if you don't meet that requirement.</p>
