Location/Region: Anywhere!! I love Florida's geography.
Major: Biology
GPA/Test Scores (optional): ** GPA UW: 3.39 / GPA W: 4.42 on 6.0 SCALE** TOP 25%
SAT: 1360
Curriculum: Medium/Difficult
Size: How large do you want your college/class sizes? Medium to Large/ Doesn't really matter
Costs: What's your budget? Will you be needing aid? I have full on financial aid (Bright Futures)
Schools you're currently looking at (if any): What other schools are you thinking of applying to? UF (Top Choice), FSU, UCF, USF, FAU, FIU, etc.
Additional: Any other factors that you want to mention? Anything that's specifically important or a dealbreaker?
All in all, I really wish to go to UF. While I have great extracurriculars and awards, my academics are clearly lacking. I'd love to hear what you all think believe of my post. Thanks.

Additional Notes About Schools:
I'm definitely looking for a school with many research/club opportunities because of my desire to pursue medicine during my undergraduate years. I'd also love to attend a school with a good reputation/prestige as it would look great on my resume.

Crap. I accidentally put High School Senior

#

That's my fault

#

I'm doing my best to stay in-state to prevent myself from getting in debt heavily after medical school/residency

#

I haven't began my essays yet because I have a lot of time, but as of now, I have very strong extracurriculars and awards

Well if you're instate and you want to go instate, what else do you need?

#

Maybe try to get your SAT score up (or try the ACT) to ensure a UF acceptance.

What do you think about UF and FSU with my stats as it is?

#

I heard this year has been extremely competitive with an acceptance rate around 28%

#

I'm just trying to see which school is best for biology so I thought to ask this discord

I don’t have much experience there, trying asking in another channel
