A couple of comments:
Honors/AP often doesn’t help GPA’s as much as we expect. One problem is that different schools recalculate weighted GPA differently. UCF uses only the core courses required for graduation in Florida, and awards 1/2 point for Honors and 1 point for AP, provided the grade is B or higher. So the effect of that is that many elective honors/AP courses don’t help the GPA UCF uses at all.
My D attended an all-magnet HS and all of her courses were either Honors or AP, but when UCF recalculated her weighted GPA it was somewhat lower than we thought.
Florida Prepaid CAN be used out of state; Bright Futures cannot. You have to check the fine print, but I believe Florida Prepaid will pay OOS at the lowest in-state Florida tuition rate. It’s less than they would pay at UCF, but a good bit more than you paid in.
Your daughter’s interest in early education, and the hard work she has already done, should help. We are two years ahead of you, so things may have changed, but if UCF is still using essays, be sure she puts a lot of emphasis on that training and work ethic in her essay. Our D was a high-level competitive figure skater (25-40 hours a week training…for years) and she really emphasized that dedication, and the lessons she learned from it, in her essay.
And finally, if your D wants to be a teacher, Florida has many state schools with excellent education programs. LOTS of options for an education degree.
