Will my rigor of course make up for my poor gpa?

Applying to College
1

<p>My gpa is a little low for the schools I want to apply to and I was wondering if my overall high school rigor of course will make up for my gpa of:</p>

<p>3.42 uw
3.91 w</p>

<p>I have taken all honors, 7 aps, and 2 duel enrollments. (5 ap classes this senior year.)</p>

<p>This year I will be taking
AP English
AP calc ab
AP art history
AP Bio
AP Gov</p>

<p>Will my strength of schedule compensate for my gpa in the schools im applying for which include:</p>

<p>U miami
U Michigan
UNC Chapel Hill
Ohio State University
Florida State
U of Florida</p>

<p>btw- I live in florida so it will be oos for every school except three.</p>

<p>yes it should</p>

<p>First, can you afford all the OOS schools ($50K/year)? Second, when did 3.4 become poor? And yes, for most schools rigor makes up for grades.</p>

<p>Thank you, I have just been worried lately because I feel as if my gpa keeps me from being a strong applicant of these schools. Also we will be able to afford the oos state schools, being that my parents value education highly.</p>

<p>With these stats in mind and around an sat of 1300/1600 1900/2400, which of these schools would be considered reaches for me coming from florida?</p>

<p>*</p>

<p>Yes…Like many parents, your parents value education highly. But, just to be on the safe side, ask them if they’ll pay $50k per year for an OOS public. Many parents who treasure education won’t do that.</p>

<p>Just to be safe, ask them how much they’ll PAY.</p>

<p>If they say that paying $50k+ per year is fine, then be sure to get a strong SAT or ACT for schools like UMich or UNC</p>
