I’m going to be coming in with 90 college credits from dual enrollment as well. I was also automatically accepted into the Honors College, and applied and got into the Provost Scholar’s program. With that I get to graduate in 3 years and am required to study-abroad. Probably going to go, but I’ll know for sure when I apply for additional scholarships and get my decision from UF.

USF offered me $16,000 for my scores/GPA as well as $2,000 from the Honors College. FAU has offered me a larger scholarship that’ll go right into my pocket since I will commute and have prepaid/bright futures, which is tempting since I don’t have a car and would like one. However, they are not ranked and do not have my degree program.

If I go to USF and don’t receive any additional scholarships, I will have to dip into personal funds. And I’m not sure if I’m going to get into UF, but if I do, I might consider it just because of their ranking. I plan on going to a highly ranked law school once I graduate which is also affecting my decision slightly. But I’m leaning pretty heavily towards USF.

  • thought I'd let everyone know that my freshman year my GPA was calculated to be a 2.3 weighted and unweighted as I am from Africa, I didn't have a single A, and had 2 D's and an F and a lot of C's. I guess they noticed the upward trend and my senior yet I have 6 AP classes lol

Good Luck to everyone else and excited to attend USF
