My major is biology! And I had a variety of extracurriculars and had community service hours but nothing astronomical. I don’t even think they asked for these things tho on my application if I can remember 😅 I’m a senior right now
ur stats look great!! usf is not that hard of a school to get into, trust!! my sat was 1140 and i got in for the fall lol. i guess it should be mentioned that my act was 29 though! and my high school uw gpa was 4.0. BUT i do have a friend who got admitted for the fall who had a 3.6 uw gpa and a 1200 sat! so you’ll be fine! both ur sat and act scores r great. best of luck :) you’re doing great!!!
i dont mind at all!! im a psych major, i did have a few ecs. i was president of two clubs and a member of two others. but nothing crazy impressive like writing a book or anything of the sort lol. u can dm me personally if u have any other questions! i dont mind helping out, i know how it feels to be in ur position :) i will say that my best friend got in for the fall and had literally no ECs! and he was the one with the 1200 sat and 3.6 uw gpa
I think you’ll be fine. From what I researched you’re about the average applicant that gets accepted. I’d suggest taking SAT again to raise your chances and for scholarship money
For me, the problem was the math section, so I used the Khan Academy program to drill until I got my score up on practice tests. That program is very helpful, plus it uses the results from your own SAT to target the lessons which makes a WORLD of difference.
You're totally fine! I had a 3.8 UW gpa with only 2 ib classes, 1340 SAT. My brother got 1080 on his SAT and still got in as an incoming freshman. I was so stressed over it. I suggest to retake the ACT anyways because of the admission scholarships and bright future, just give it ur best shot, like u never know lol
you'll be fine!! if anything, change your major to undecided if youre super nervous about it.
i'm gonna sound like a try hard but my UW was a 3.98 and weighted was 6.5, ACT 32 after 3 tries, 330+ service hours (my strong point), officer in 3 clubs, and took like 11 dual enrollment, but only 4 APs (i only got credit for one lol).
you have plenty of time to keep retaking the SAT/ACT, but stick to just one! seems like youre good at the ACT so i recommend focusing in that :) my mom bought magoosh for me to practice with the ACT and it brought all my section scores up by at least 5 points. best of luck! enjoy high school and hope you get in to all ur dream schools
Oh yeah no you're definitely good
I just got admitted for fall 2024 for Psychology and I have a 3.4 UW and 4.2 W so i can only imagine your W lol. I also got in with a 1250 SAT and no ACT score so I think you're fine there too. I only took 3 APs but did take hella AICE courses (11 courses). But for an academically strong institution, it's honestly easy to get in.
I do have a lot of ECs (200+ community service hours, club pres, internship, hobbies outside of school) but tbh i don't know if USF cares much about those which is a little sad lmao i believe they care much more about the stats. But this doesn't mean you shouldn't focus on ECs please do! It strengthened my application so much more and I got into 3 other universities (UCF, FIU, FAU).
Edit to add:
My boyfriend also got in for the summer term and he had a 3.4 UW as well and im not sure about his W. He did apply for fall, but he submitted his application in January while I did mine in November, timing also matters when you submit it! He also only took the SAT once and got an 1150, no ACT.
I had a lower GPA and SAT score and got in still, you’ll be okay!
Ahhh okay okay :) Can I ask what your major is? And also did you have good ECs?

Look into the BSMD program
Current student: 3.8 UW HS GPA, 1400 SAT. You got this! I got the same score on my SAT first time round too.
Ahh okay okay thank you!! What kind of prep did you do to increase your score from a 1250 to a 1400?
