Please don't tell me I have to go to FSU...

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Florida

<p>because I probably won't get accepted to UF. Chance me, CC. Please!</p>

<p>So, I did not do too well freshman/sophomore years of high school, but junior year was great. Huge upward trend.</p>

<p>I'm white a white girl from a large public school in central Florida.</p>

<p>I have around an unweighted GPA of 3.5 and weighted 4.0-4.1
Top 12%
I will be top 10% after 1st semester with a higher GPA (3.6 uw)
Shooting for at least a 2100 on SATs come October
AP World = 4
AP American History = 4
AP Lang = 4
AP Euro = 4</p>

<p>5 AP classes senior year and 1 community college class.</p>

<p>Total of 9 AP classes and all honors classes when available.</p>

<p>Community service will be at least 3 hours a week. </p>

<p>A few clubs, not an officer of anything.</p>

<p>I hope to paint myself in my applications as a lover of literature (which is true). This can also somewhat explain my lack of involvement in clubs.</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>THANK YOU SO MUCH, CC! I AM A LOST FOOL WITHOUT YOU!</p>

<p>Have you taken either the SAT or ACT yet? not just your “hoping for score” lol</p>

<p>Yes, I took the SAT for the first time in May. I got 680 reading, 540 math, and 600 writing. That’s a 1220 out of 1600, and an 1820 combined. Not the best, I plan on doing a LOT better.</p>

<p>FSU says the feeling is mutual. Apply to UF with UCF as a back up.</p>

5

<p>In at UF. Not in at Florida State.</p>

<p>^^ Def NOT TRUE. UF is to rectangles as FSU is to squares. I understand you have a biased standpoint, and you’re probably bitter because UF rejected you guys (jk) but if one of your children wasn’t attending FSU you would realize UF is better, and not even a little better but A LOT better.</p>

7

<p>I will concede UF has a better engineering program. That’s about it. The OP should just go to UF, UCF or USF.</p>

<p>anon44, you are a lost fool, with or without CC. FSU doesn’t want attitudes like yours.</p>

<p>I was accepted to UF (MY backup) but my first choice was FSU, and I am loving it. </p>

<p>So do us all a favor and go spend your money on SAT prep books instead of the FSU app fee so that UF will be blessed with your presence. </p>

<p>Like sunnyflorida said, UCF can be your backup.</p>

<p>sunnyflorida, parent2noles, Nolette, and probably others…</p>

<p>I’m sorry I offended you all. I do like FSU; I will be applying there. I’m particularly interested in their English and Pre-law programs as they’re supposed to be the best in the state. However, I’m somewhat confident that I could be accepted to FSU, but I’m not very sure that I could be accepted to UF. Therefore, I come to CC asking for advice and realistic probabilities. This IS in the Gator section, and their rivals ARE the Noles, so I thought that I’d make my title a little more interesting and perhaps appealing (only in a joking fashion) to the UF community. My goal was to get responses, not to bash FSU.</p>

<p>Perhaps I shouldn’t have titled this thread as I did, but you can’t deny that I got quite a few responses…</p>

<p>Again, I’m sorry for offending.</p>

<p>Don’t worry about offending anyone. This “debate” between FSU and UF is endless and generally all in good fun. </p>

<p>Good luck on your search. Have fun. :)</p>
