True wrt Agnes Scott – I went on a tangent trying to think of alternatives if OP’s child doesn’t qualify for summer at UCF. There WERE (ARE) Southern private colleges that matched BF for FL residents. Agnes Scott was but one example but it’s stopped. However, OP might want to look into this.
OP has other threads, I’m using all the background information (including the fact they’re looking for other colleges) on this thread, it wouldn’t really make sense to pretend I’ve not read their questions. You should be able to click on their name and see the different threads they’ve opened for their daughter.
We DO NOT know whether OP’s child is preparing the IB diploma or the AICE diploma. Many FL students take AICE as “honors” (not all schools, but many schools have regular, AICE, AP, as the “rigor” scale.) The AICE requirements aren’t that onerous and MANY FL residents take AICE courses, so it’s all a matter of taking the right ones. OP may be interested in this. It’s a way that’s been taken by parents whose child is both high achieving and a bad test-taker. BF may not matter for a family with FL Prepaid but…
@MEC143: just in case, the requirements are: AICE Global Perspectives, and a MINIMUM of 2 from AICE Languages, AICE Math/Science, AICE Arts&Humanities, then a combination of 4 courses from Interdisciplinary skills and/or from the three categories above. The AICE exam must be taken and the course must be passed in order for it to count. (Strictly speaking you are allowed not to take the exam but you only get half the credits and must offset that by taking more classes, so…) So, if your school classified AICE/Honors and you’re interested, it can be done.

Some of it is kind of moot (NMFs obviously have the requisite score) but it’s still good to know since it’s not that well-known. Not all bright kids are good test takers.
