As it stands now, upon graduation I should have 30 credit hours worth of classes that should, in theory, transfer to Florida State (waiting for a second opinion). I'm a Florida resident. I attend a small private school, and have been working substantial for my entire high school career, and this was included on my resume which was sent with my application. I'm in the top 10% of my class.

My GPA is a 3.8 according to my high school, but will receive additional weight to dual-enrollment classes when it's re-calculated by the FSU Admission Office. My major will be accounting, and I'm currently on track to pass my second accounting class with flying colors. I've taken AP American History, AP Literature and Composition, and AP Language and Composition (but have not passed the AP tests). Most of my classes in high school have been Honors, AP, or Dual-Enrollment.

I took the SAT during my junior year, and recently the ACT during my senior year and received a substantial increase in scores. I received a 27 composite score on my ACT (NO WRITING), while receiving a 1650 cumulative SAT score.

I'd appreciate any input you're willing to give it. ]]> Florida State University payco88-314153 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/florida-state-university/813442-fsu-chance.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/florida-state-university/811224-honors-college.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:56:54 GMT I took the SAT again (still haven't had time or money for study materials, but I remembered to bring my glasses this time) and got an 1880. I know I won't receive an invitation, but apparently there's some way to petition for a spot..

I doubt I'll get in at all since my UW GPA is only a 3.27 and my W GPA is a 4.05.. But if I did, would I be likely to struggle through the honors college? I'm in IB now, if that makes any difference. ]]> Florida State University Dnerd-214437 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/florida-state-university/811224-honors-college.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/florida-state-university/811179-question-florida-medical-doctor-residency-slots.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:56:34 GMT I read where the vast majority of both FSU Med and UF Med graduates attend out-of-state residency programs. Generally, where an MD does his/her residency that's where they establish a practice.

Why is it so difficult to establish sufficient residency programs in Florida? Why build so many med schools (first UF, then USF and FSU and now FIU and UCF med schools) at tremendous public expense (I have heard where UF Med complains now that FSU Med gets more resources, for example) when we simply ship the graduates out of state?? ]]> Florida State University parent2noles-64827 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/florida-state-university/811179-question-florida-medical-doctor-residency-slots.html
