<p>So I decided I would like to go to a state college, mainly because of costs and what I have under my belt.</p>
<p>See, I really don’t have many EC’s. Just volunteering at a local radio, school newspaper, and Animal Shelter. I am in Honors/AP with a 3.82 GPA as a current sophomore. I know that’s way low when compared to some of the people here who make sure that their DNA is spread in every nook and cranny possible in their city. </p>
<p>So my question is, how high are the requirements for state colleges, can I get in with what I have (Let’s “pretend” my SAT score will high)?</p>
<p>Well, it depends on the competition for your in-state school. Sometimes, as is the case with University of Florida, there are many many applicants (full-ride tuition given other requirements for high-achieving students) and standardized test scores really count more in the selection of a class than, say, West Virginia University’s admissions process.
If you score in the 90th%-ile composite or above I’d say you would have a solid shot at your in-state universities.
Some universities are virtually impossible (but doable nonetheless) to get into out-of-state but I assume you aren’t considering those because OOS tuition is nearly as pricey as a private university.</p>
