<p>I'm a junior. I have a 3.8 weighted. 3.2 Unweighted. I improved each year and got a 4.1 the first quarter this year.</p>
<p>My school is a top school in florida, Private and catholic.
I will finish with</p>
<p>7history 4 English 4 Math 4 foreign language and 3 science.</p>
<p>I have taken honors and AP courses. </p>
<p>I'm a minority</p>
<p>I have 200 hours of community service.</p>
<p>I know I started off slow but I have down my best to try and raise my GPA. I believe I can get a ~3.8-3.9 weighted what would this be for FSU if I have only taken 2-3 non-core classes.</p>
<p>Also I got a 1650 on my SAT as a sophomore I have yet to take it as a Junior.</p>
Keep up your grades during junior year and obviously try for all As
in order to maximize your GPA.
Study daily for both the ACT / SAT.
Sign up for Princeton Review or Test Masters.
Buy all the SAT prep books on e-bay and study them.
Take both the May 2012 & June 2012 SAT and try to get your best
overall SAT during the October 2012 test date.
Strive for at least a 1900 SAT or a 29 on ACT and a 3.8+ GPA or higher !
Apply early and work on your essay during summer.
PS- Im a senior from a Catholic High School and I did the same and I am sitting
on a 3.9 GPA and a 2140 SAT. Good Luck !</p>
<p>Yay a reply Thanks for your opinion I have the official SAT study guide but being quite honest I have not looked on it more the a few assignments. I plan to use it ALOT. I’m really dedicated to being admitted to FSU or UCF </p>
<p>Also is your 3.9 the FSU re-calculated or the one your school gives you </p>
<p>Also, what would a 3.8 be by the FSU standards </p>
<p>Your junior year performance and the remainder of this year are very important. Those are the grades that will be on your transcripts if you apply early.</p>
<p>Of course Honors & AP’s boost your GPA. The AP’s will also give you college credit for core class requirements in college as long as you pass the exams (Score of 3 or higher).</p>
<p>Glad to hear that you will initiate the effort and try to improve your SAT. Suggestion-
USUALLY, admission committees will only accept grades from 9th & 10th & 11th grade and your senior grades will not measure into calculations for GPA although your senior grades may be visited by the admissions committee if you are a borderline applicant.
If you currently have a GPA of 3.4, I’d strongly suggest you get on the ball and pull in A’s !</p>
<p>Hey, can someone post the average GPA for people accepted during the summer? I’m getting so many conflicting views I would also like to know if it’s weighted or unweighted and if it’s out of 4.0</p>
<p>Hi-
Congrats on your 90 increase and remember that as a junior, you will have the opportunity to retake the SAT and raise your score several more times as your final test date will be during the October SAT sitting.
Note- google SAT math problems and if you search hard enough, there are sites and forums that will provide you specific math formulas used in the actual SAT test and you are permitted to download and use these same formulas into your calculator during the actual test. This trick increased my math score 40 points to a 780. Also, check to see if your school allows you to attend summer class in order to re-take some of the required courses you received a B or C and maybe you can increase them to a A. Good Luck !</p>
<p>Congratulations on the score increase. Sitting on a 1780 as a junior is a pretty good place to be in. I’d think if you can up your SAT over an 1800 and have a 3.6, you’d have a decent shot of getting admitted, though still a bit borderline. Keep working hard; take honors and AP classes and do well in them, and you have plenty of time to pull that GPA up! </p>
<p>if that’s true then I guess I’m kind close there for summer and that’s when I wanted to go my first year anyways, is it lower because of people doing activities (football,basketball,etc)? or is it just lower because many people don’t like summer?</p>
<p>also are those Gpa’s the recalculated one or the one on your transcript</p>
<p>Those are recalculated. Most students who are borderline get pushed into summer term because FSU doesn’t have to report the averages of summer term, only fall. So obviously the best students in fall term makes the school look better. Admissions officers all over the nation deny this, but it is true.</p>
<p>I think FSU includes all freshmen stats in info provided for reports like its Common Data Set reporting. FSU includes together all the freshmen stats for both fall and summer for new freshmen class profile as one common pool. Summer stats tend to be lower because athletes, summer program enrollees, and some students who don’t have a lot of college credits already from high school are placed in summer by FSU, and they tend to have lower stats than freshmen beginning fall term. Of course FSU can breakdown profiles for fall and summer separately, but for most freshmen profile reporting freshmen stats for both summer and fall are lumped together.</p>
<p>from FSU common data set 2011/2012: “FreshmanProfile-<br>
Provide percentages for ALL enrolled, degree-seeking, full-time and part-time, first-time, first-year (freshman) students enrolled in Fall 2011, including students who began studies during summer, international students/nonresident aliens, and students admitted under special arrangements.”</p>
<p>C11 Percentage of all enrolled, degree-seeking, first-time, first-year (freshman) students who had high school grade-point averages within each of the following ranges (using 4.0 scale). Report information only for those students from whom you collected high school GPA. </p>
<p>C11 Percent who had GPA of 3.75 and higher 53.5% </p>
<p>Does 4.0 scale mean unweighted? I didn’t know FSU had a avg. 3.75 on an unweighted scale…I don’t even come close to that</p>
<p>Another update I got my report card and I got my best GPA ever I got a 4.0883333 adjusted to FSU standards :))) it was 4.5 weighted for my school but my school gives extra so I removed it. Also, I got an A (90 still an A!!) in my AP</p>
