<p>USF IS my first option</p>
<p>USF actually has a chart which can help you determine your chances. <a href=“http://usfweb2.usf.edu/Admissions/pdf/counselor-grid.pdf[/url]”>http://usfweb2.usf.edu/Admissions/pdf/counselor-grid.pdf</a> Hope this helps :)</p>
<p>how are your academics? from what I hear, USF puts a lot of emphasis on the difficulty of your academic load… like taking an extra foreign language or science class, and advanced math classes, and of course AP and Dual Enrollment. </p>
<p>also, from what I heard, that seems to be even more important than extracurriculars. so don’t be afraid to drop some ec’s in order to take (and succeed in) advanced courses during your senior year!! :)</p>
<p>I am currently taking two Ap classes and in doing very very well in both. I’ve had ap classes since freshman years an I haven’t completed any ap classes with less than a c. Im also taking three ap classes next year and I am taking honors in which im getting above average to average grades.</p>
<p>USF is a good school but it isn’t very hard to get into. If you focus on your academics, and get good SAT scores, I think that you will get in. I got in with a 1330 CR+M scores and a 3.98 USF GPA. As for extracurriculars, I had a few activities that I focused on. I am currently in the IB Program, which I think also helped.</p>
<p>As the days advance im getting more confident that i’ll be accepted. My grades are getting higher and in getting very high grades in my ap and core classes. I hope to see an increase in my gpa’s :-)</p>
