    What term did you apply for?

    Have you taken an advanced classes? If so, how many?

    Have you taken foregon language classes?

    What is the highest math you've reached?

    So far it looks like you'll be accepted conditionally for summer term.

    With only 2-3 success factors, they should accept you for summer term. It may or not be conditional.

    What's a hpa?

    Ok. Why you need to do I recalculate your GPA to how USF does it. Use that GPA with the chart. Your chances for acceptance might just go up because your 3.4 is unweighted right?

    yes the 3.4 is unweighted and the 3.6 is weighted its out of a 4.5 instead... how do i re calculate to how usf does it?

    i saw their matrix chart and i was using my 1590 and 3.6 ethier way im in the light blue which indicates possible admission for summer

    ive just heard mixed things! people seem to be getting deffered with higher scores!!

    and some getting in with way lower!

    thanks !

    I just realized my post don't make sense! So many typos! :p

    I meant: "What you need to do is recalculate your GPA to how USF does it."

    USF calculates GPA by letter grades.
    A 90-100 4 points
    B 80-89 3 points
    C 70-79 2 points
    D 60-69 1 point
    F 59 or lower 0 points

    Add 1 point to the grades value if it is an AP/IB/AICE course.
    Add half a point to the grade's value if it is an honors/pre-AP/IB/AICE course.

    Add up your number and divide by the number of grades.

    That's good that you've studied the chart. USF factors in more than just in applicant's scores in their decision. They still see what you've participated in, how you've demonstrated leadership skills and how you've volunteered! I think you have a chance.

    Paid the application fee and submitted everything except SAT scores. I did the SAT in Oct, received a 1600 (m+w+c) I could of easily gotten around (1800) but due to test day mishaps i ended up with a horrid 1600 (not happening again). Is a December SAT risky? My application has already been submitted though, its just the marks missing.

    My goal for December is 2000+

    Just got accepted with a 3.8/29 ACT, also got in to Honors College and a $12k per year scholarship. I think you'll get in, it took them a long time to accept me (probably because they award scholarships with acceptance).

    It just depends on when they get your application in relation to where they are in the application rounds.

    All in good time, young grasshopper. All in good time.
