<p>I know my standardized test scores are low/mediocre, but it's because I'm really young for a senior (just turned 16) and I took all of my English classes virtually- I had to graduate a year early due to personal situations. Does that help my chances at all?</p>

<p>Thank you for your time- WILL CHANCE BACK! :D</p>

<p>What is the GPA system for Florida?</p>

3

<p>If you get an A, it counts as a 4.0 if it’s regular, 5.0 if it’s honors, 6.0 if it’s an AP.
If you get a B, 3.0 regular, 4.0 honors, 5.0 AP.
etc.</p>

4

<p>oohtobeagooner you’re wrong. 4.0 scale for regular, 4.5 for honors, 5.0 for AP</p>

5

<p>that’s weird- that’s how they do it in my county. according to that scale my GPA is around a 4.41</p>

<p>bumpity bump bump</p>

7

<p>Well UF is definitely a safety. You’re definitely in. Otherwise I don’t know the schools well enough to help.</p>

8

<p>Tufts: Reach
Chicago: Reach (pay attention to your essays)
Cornell: Reach
NWU: Reach
UFlorida: Safety</p>

9

<p>are you sure I should make UF my safety? My teacher told me to apply to FSU just in case I didn’t get admitted for some reason</p>

10

<p>You can have two safeties: FSU and UF.</p>

12

<p>If you’re applying ED to Cornell, I wouldn’t recommend applying EA to Chicago. It makes your interest in both schools look weak.</p>

13

<p>how does that make sense- schools don’t know what other schools you’re applying to</p>

14

<p>bump- please chance me, promise to chance back!!</p>

15

<p>Probably could get into Northwestern, just get a high ACT/SAT score</p>

16

<p>Easier said than done lol- think I bombed the act on Saturday, hoping for a 2100 this Saturday</p>

17

<p>You’re fine for UF in my opinion, although I would never consider it a safety because many people get denied with stats like yours. Good luck!</p>
