Minimum test scores for the honors college are a 1900 SAT and a 29 ACT, so you should get in.

Honors is seemingly a crapshoot sometimes, so it’s not always cut and dry as to who gets invited and who doesn’t. You should get into Honors though: FSU loves IB students, especially those that earn the Diploma. Even if you are borderline on stats, they’ll typically give you a bump if you were in IB.

You should be fine. Your stats are strong enough to get in, either by invite or by petition.
