<p>Ah, boy or girl twins?! I know! I visited FSU, and at first, I liked it…but something didn’t feel right. I hated the area, too, so that didn’t help. I didn’t even apply to FSU, even though my dad was hoping. Originally, we thought justin would get in easily for summer. He had a 23 ACT, and about a 3.8 GPA, so we thought he was somewhat safe. We assumed it was a long shot for me, with my 22 ACT, and 3.3 GPA:/ I have to admit, though…I REALLY think my extra circulars are what got me in. Personally, I thought they were very good, and unique, and I think that did the trick. I really want justin down there, so one of us at least knows how to get to the airport, on the right plain, etc. I have a HORRID sense of direction, and live up to the 'girls cannot driver stenotype, lol. I’m actually going to be a nut case, and go out of black friday, and scoop up all the summer clothes on the clearance rack, at the mall:)</p>
<p>Justin looks better academically, but I looked better outside of school. We’re opposites. He loves math, and science, hates writing. I despise math, but adore writing. We’re complete opposites, even in personality. He’s the mellow, and calm twice. I’m the vibrant, excited one, who will likely start a conversation with a random stranger, lol. I just hope they let him in, because we’re two totally different people, but balance each other out perfectly.</p>
<p>Whitey I have read about 50 pages of this thread and when you announced you got in it was like the culminating chapter of a book LOL.</p>
<p>Anyways, I’m a junior looking into Florida schools I visited UF (quite a stretch for me) and FSU and I sort of liked FSU but I’m not sure about Tallahasee.</p>
<p>I have yet to visit it but my cousin graduated from there she strongly recommended I check it out. I was wondering if you could tell me my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>I have a 3.7 W and 3.1 UW I took Ap’s and Honors I had a terrible 9th grade but I improved a bit each year.</p>
<p>I tried my best to recalculate took out my P.E,Health,Honors, etc. I have a 3.3 GPA I’m a junior so it might go up still. I believe maybe 3.4-3.5. </p>
<p>For SAT I got a 1720 my junior year I take it for real in 5-6 months and I plan to study a lot. I ordered the prep. books. </p>
<p>As for EC I was in 2-3 clubs, no real leadership but I volunteer for my city and at the hospital I have 150 service hours might graduate with ~250ish.</p>
<p>What do you think my chances are based on what you heard and your personal experience .</p>
<p>Thanks and I’m happy you got in =p</p>
<p>Aw, thank you so much! That’s a really sweet thing to say:)</p>
<p>Ah, FSU. I actually went to visit the school, spring break of my junior year, so I can tell you what the experiance was like. Hum, the GPA seems fairly good. As does the SAT score. If you can get that much community service hours, that’s even better! Just make sure you do very well this year, and you stand a very good chance of gaining acceptence:) If they don’t, however, feel that you should start right in fall, then you’ll start in summer, which is okay! It’s great to get a start on the college experiance, get a few simple classes out of the way, first dibs on jobs on campus, as well as the city you’ll be in! I would just try to find one aspect that will REALLY make you stand out. Something that will make them say, "Hum…that’s fairly interesting,’ when they read it! For me, I’m not sure what it was. It could have been writing the two novels, or playing the four instruments, or anything, for that matter. Try to find something to make you stand out from other applicants, other then grades and scores. I’m proof that interesting things CAN be the deciding factor;)</p>
<p>I will also give you my experiance of what I thought of FSU, when on the tour last year:
We drove through the town, and I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical. Some of the individuals walking around, as well as a lot of run down buildings, didn’t prove to be a pretty sight. Now, don’t get me wrong. Yes, I’m a caucassian girl, middle class, from the subs, but I’m right outside of chicago-I’m well acclimated to run down areas. However, I noticed that, other then some government buildings, there really wasn’t anything there, at all. I’ll just say that I didn’t like the town. When we got to the school, first, I could see the football stadium, which looked HUGED (Then, you walk into it, and it just look huge from the outside, lol). However, the buildings were BEAUTIFUL! Very, very gothic and beautiful buildings, with spanish moss trees every were, and many flowers. I will admit, the campus was, out of every college tour I’ve been on, the prettiest, by far. (I’ve also visited Northern illinois university, southern illinois university, illinois state university, university of illinois, and western michigan.) I was awed by the traditional beauty of it, and you could just feel the past history when you walked around the campus. Everyone seemed pretty friendly, which was good. HOwever, I couldn’t get over how COMPACT it was. All the buildings were so close together, and I felt like I couldn’t breath! Also, the dorms didn’t really work for me. I know dorms should not be a deciding factor, which they weren’t, but coming from out of state, it would be important. Very run down, and old. Overall though, it’s a really, really great school. For me, the deciding factors where the town, and the feel of the campus. I disliked the town, which didn’t seem to give many oppertunities for entertainment, and the campus just felt too small. It’s all based on preference though:)</p>

<p>I got in for summer 2012 with a 3.5 and 25 act. In the IB program. I think you stand a pretty good chance if you have a good course schedule and try and bump that gpa to a 3.5 by the end of the year. I think you’ll be fine if you apply fr summer 2013. Is UCF your first choice?</p>
<p>Thanks so much guys :D</p>
<p>I plan to apply to FSU, UCF and a couple more schools. I don’t even know what I’m going to study yet. So…Yeah =P. </p>
<p>Whitey, was that my chances for FSU or UCF? If FSU then I’m happy because I thought I stood no chance</p>
<p>My daughter was accepted today into Loyola University in Chicago. Excitement! 
but it would be great if she was accepted into UCF!!!</p>
<p>Overcome</p>
<p>Congrats! I’m glad to hear that! It’s very exciting</p>
<p>hey guys im just curious, can ucf revoke your acceptance if you dont do so well your last semester?</p>
<p>If your cumulative drops I’m guessing they could.</p>
<p>■■■! cause i may get a d or something in an ap class -___-</p>
<p>Dude-I feel your pain:( My grades are slipping right now, because of some personal family problems. I’m hoping to get them up by the end of the semester.</p>
<p>aww im sorry! i just have senioritis like bad and my teacher teaches so horribly! i cant take it, or pass lol</p>
<p>I could be wrong but if you get 1 D, but your semester gpa is over a 3.0 they won’t take your acceptance.</p>
<p>i mean i have a’s in my 2 other college classes and an a in my honors class…its just this damn ap government class</p>
<p>What do you think your gpa will be at then end of the semester?</p>
<p>it should be around a 4.5 weighted i believe</p>
<p>Dune- You’re fine then! Well, right now, I’m getting a C- in my AP english. I’ve never gotten lower the an A in any english class, honors or AP. He accused me of plagerizing a critique on ‘the hunch back of Notre dame’ because it’s ‘college level work’. Yet, he has no proof, but STILL failed me on it. I’m currently still fighting him on it, but this won’t be resolved. It makes me feel awful, that he doesn’t believe I could write it. Firstly, it’s one of my favorite books, right bellow Wuthering heights. Secondly, I’m a good writer. We’ll see what happens. I just need to keep it up. I’m constantly afraid they’ll pull my acceptance right when I sent my grades, at the end of the year:/</p>
<p>yeah i am so scared they are gonna take my acceptance away! and everything i worked for will be for nothing!</p>
<p>Dude if your gpa is over a 3.0 or 3.5 your fine. Def with a 4.5</p>
