Hey guys, March admissions are rolling around and I wanted to see what you thought about my chances despite a deferral in December. FSU is my top choice so I’m really hoping I’ll get in.

Here are my stats:
IMPORTANT - I got an F in Calculus junior year. I don’t know why I took it; I want to major in sociology. Regardless, this was the first thing I was told when I called admissions, so I’m assuming it played a big role in my decision. I had replaced the grade with a B well before I applied, but the replacement hadn’t registered (wish I would’ve known). Anyways, the transcript should show a B now, no F’s.

My 1st quarter grades are not yet set in stone, still have some talking to teachers to do. Ideally though, they’d look something like this:
A A B B first quarter
A A B+ B second quarter

Thank you for the feedback.
