What Florida 4 year college/colleges are easy to get into?
Ok I averaged around a 2.7 or higher in high school (around the 2.6 range 1-3yr and straight 3.0s senior year). I have also jsut taken the ACTs for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I have been in community college for about 2 years, but have absolutely no credits because of dropping classes due to work. But now I am finally ready to actually enroll into school full time and make that my main focus so I can graduate. So I am looking to go to a university down in florida like FGCU, FAU, or FIU. And I really dont think I have a chance into any. Does anyone know what I have to do to get into these schools or have I already done enough? Any information is helpful and very appreciated.

Hello. From what I know about FAU, you probably don't have much of a shot without a really good standardized (ACT/SAT) score. FAU only accepts about ~50% of people who apply and since they're becoming a bigger school, they're being more selective -- much like UCF. I really don't know how you'd fare at FIU, although again it's worth a shot if you have a decent standardized test score. I do know that FGCU is really new (I believe less than 20 years old) and newer colleges usually want to expand so they'll take on students with lower-than-average scores. However, if nonoe of that works out for you, you can always continue with community college, get your Associate's, and basically walk into any college in Florida (FAU, UCF, FSU, UF). Florida has a weird system that way and it's funny because you have people absolutely killing themselves trying to get into UF and then other people who barely break 1000 on their SAT get accepted there. Anyway, good luck to you! Go Owls!
