<p>I'm also looking at UCF, USF and UWF if anyone has any opinions about those. FSU is where I really want to go though.</p>

2

<p>What’s your SAT Reading Score?</p>

3

<p>That’s the 630. I meant sat reading but wrote sat verbal.</p>

4

<p>I could be wrong, but I believe you need at least a score of 500 in each section to be considered, so you might have to bump that math score up.</p>

5

<p>get the writing score up, and retake the sat again. you’re in after that.</p>

6

<p>I meant writing in my post, sorry.</p>

7

<p>You should be fine. I got in fall 2013 with lower test scores than what you have. But my weighted was a 4.6 and unweighted 3.7</p>

8

<p>UWF: I would bypass. I lived in the area, dated some people who went to the school and had classes with dual-enrollment students and I elected to bypass U-Dubb. </p>

<p>USF: After a semester at USF I am transferring to FSU in the Spring. I was unimpressed and underwhelmed continually at USF by the way I was treated like just another warm-body. Repeated issues that were never resolved, crowded and dirty campus (and city).</p>

<p>FSU or UCF would be my suggestion unless you have a specific reason why you’d want to go to UWF or USF.</p>

<p>Robbeh is right, in that you need a score of 500 minimum on each of the SAT sections to be admitted. Since you have an ACT score that’s above the minimum, that shouldn’t be a problem, as long as you submit your ACT scores and they are from an ACT w/ Writing Test. If your ACT scores aren’t from a writing test, then they’re useless for FSU. </p>

<p>Aside from that, you have a decent GPA, decent course rigor, and an okay ACT/SAT score. Add in a good amount of extra-curriculars and it’s a decent bet that you’ll get in. </p>

<p>I would however retake at least one of the two tests though and try to bump up your scores. A 24 in one section isn’t necessarily bad, but it certainly doesn’t help your application to have a 24 in two different ACT sections. </p>

<p>I would though apply to one of those other schools you said you were considering as your “safety” school. It doesn’t hurt.</p>

10

<p>I would also apply to UF. But the big question is what do you want to study?</p>

11

<p>Yoohoo, regeg where are you? </p>

<p>The big question is: “I wonder if regeg ever applied to FSU and got an admission decision Dec. 13th?” </p>

<p>regeg last checked in here Sept. 1st! regeg was probably already accepted at FSU and is relaxing now, and everyone else here is still going in circles like a dog chasing its own tail still giving him advice on how to get into FSU and where to go.</p>

<p>Haha, good point. I didn’t even realize that this was an older thread on here.</p>
