<p>i am in the IB program in Florida. during 9th and 10th grade i didn't care about anything and at the end of 10th grade i had a GPA of 2.45 unweighted...yea i know...i was about to get kicked out but i begged for another chance. A huge wake up call for me. I managed to raise my GPA to 2.64 during my junoir year. I'm now a senior and will probably get atleast 3 A's. I did early decision to University of Florida.</p>

<p>Honestly, I think it's going to be tough for you. ED will help, butUF is getting tougher every year. I know a lot of students with decent grades (As and Bs) in honors w/ some AP classes, test scores about equal to yours, and pretty good ECs who were waitlisted or were admitted on the condition that they would start in the summer, even though they applied for fall. Good luck!</p>

<p>It's all well and good that you've seen people with honors and AP miss out or almost miss out, but the IB program in Florida is a whole different ballgame. It's not guaranteed, obviously, but your chances for getting in are pretty good. Most IB students also have had a full load of AP classes (.1 added to GPA each) and a full load of IB classes, of course (also .1). In reality, you can't compare most high school curricula to anything in the IB program...high school in the US is a bit of a joke. </p>

<p>Also, UF is really big on IB students (has the most of any other university, I believe), so they recognize the value of it as much as I do. Don't bet the farm on it, but don't write your death sentence quite yet either.</p>

<p>edit from my last post - I meant they add 1 to the value of AP and IB classes, i.e. an A is a 5.0, B is 4.0 and so on.</p>

<p>I got in with a 2.8 and a 1080 SAT...do you play any sports? that seems to help. Also if your a minority it helps too.</p>
