I was talking to a friend who really wants to go to FSU. She has a 32 ACT and really good ECs, which is the good part. Her average as of now (junior year) is a 3.0 unweighted with all honors and AP classes so about a 3.6 weighted (the way FSU weights it). However, she’s taking 4 AP classes this year and getting Cs in all of them. She has an A and a B in her other two classes, but this should really bring down her unweighted GPA.

She has, as I said, really good ECs, Girl Scout Gold Award, on the board of a local charity, did an internship at a local college (FIU) over the summer and goes to a good high school. Does she have any shot at FSU? Do they really consider ECs or is it mostly by the numbers? She’s a legacy, if it matters.
