“More rigorous than Florida schools” is subjective.

No one on this board say what FSU Admission will or won’t take into account based on how you measure up in your particular location, particular school, GPA and test scores. There can only be an educated guess based on FSU admission profile on the website linked above You might want to review last year’s class acceptance/rejection thread for more insight http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/florida-state-university/2031326-fsu-class-of-2022-accepted-rejected.html#latest.
