<p>My daughter, a Caucasian female, is CARE 2011. She had a 3.8 unweighted GPA coming into FSU, was salutatorian of her class, first generation college student, had completed 15 dual enrollment hours as her school did not offer AP or IB courses but her SAT and ACT scores were lower than the average FSU freshman admit. She qualified for a PELL grant her first year at FSU so there was financial need. She took classes in the summer bridge program, fall, spring and summer and entered her major as a junior one year after starting at FSU. This semester she made the Deans List and continues to make upward progress within her major. Her current course load each semester is 17 credit hours and she will graduate four years after entering the CARE program at FSU with her Masters in Special Education with an emphasis on Autism and Profound Disabilities. She is heavily involved in her sorority, she is part of several on campus groups that give back to the community in different ways and volunteers at a local special needs school in addition to fulfilling her required practicum hours every semester. That’s my definition of a CARE student at FSU. Take from it what you will.</p>
