<p>Thanks for reading first off. I have been stalking this site for a while, and have never posted. Today I decided to ask for help, so please bare with me.</p>
<p>My GPA is a 3.23 and I am an in-state student. I have 4 APs under my belt, and by the end of this year I will have 5. I have passed them all with 3s (AP Euro, APUSH, AP Lang [AP Lit, AP Gov]). Brackets are my current classes. I am in the top 38% of my class ranked 60/156. I am going into Meteorology and FSU is the only in-state school (besides UM which is private) that has a Meteorology Bachelor Degree. UF has a certification, but not a degree. I really need to get in here otherwise i'm back to square one, or I have to go out of state, and with the cost rising each year, it's not something I really want right now. My SAT is a 1660 with 520 cr 540 math and 590 writing. I am taking it in December again since the last time I had a family emergency so I didn't have enough time to study. </p>
<p>What do you think? What are my chances of getting in? Any help is appreciated.</p>
<p>Not that it’s all that helpful, but Florida Tech also has a Meteorology program. They bunch it and their Oceanography degree into their Engineering school. </p>
<p>Just a heads up, if you do get accepted:
The Meteorology program is very math intensive. It starts pretty much in your first semester and lasts until you graduate. There’s a very significant number of people who switch away from the Meteorology program due to the math (and other) requirements. In fact, most of the Environmental Science (BS and BA) majors that I know- which is a good number- are former Meteorology majors. </p>
<p>All that aside, I think you’re borderline. If you have applied for the December notification date, they will not use your December test scores. If you didn’t apply for it, and are instead applying for the second decision date (March, I believe?) then you are facing an uphill battle, as it is significantly more difficult to get in during the second decision group.
If you haven’t applied yet (or aren’t applying until next year), then realize that it is certainly in your best interest to raise your stats. They aren’t horrible, but they also really aren’t all that impressive.</p>
