Figure out your unweighted. It’s more important than weighted.

For FSU , take your unweighted, add .5 for Honors and 1 for AP. That’s how they weight. If you have a 4.2, you have decent odds. If not, then not.

JMU yes.

VT and FSU target.

UF unlikely.

Good luck.

I used chat GPT to recalculate my GPA and its a 4.4 for UFs “recalculation” meaning only core courses and APs.

Yeah don’t use chat gpt. Do it yourself.

A 4.4 is good.

But I’m guessing it’s not a 4.4.

Update: Just got into FSU Honors :wink: and waiting for RD UF because I got deffered.
