Hey I want to go to USF- New College in Sarasota. I know that school's really big on national merit and i want to know if any of you know what the score is for commended scholar in fl? Does anyone know hard it is to get in there?

Straight from Princeton Review:

Public University
Enrollment: 650
Admissions Selectivity: 97
Average SAT: 1330
Average ACT: 27
Average High School GPA: 3.90
Top 10% High School Class: 51%
$3249 Tuition In-state
Total Applicants that are accepted: 65%

Not sure how accurate the 97 admission rating is... Top Ivy leagues are like 99. It's REALLY small school composed of pretty good scholars.

I've heard it's about as hard as getting into UF (University of Florida in Gainesville.)

I can't confirm the rumor, but it has a good reputation even in the outskirts of Miami.

yeah that 97 thing confused me, but maybe its harder cause its a state school and they re going by national average

ha im a resident of both florida and south carolina, getting commended on the south carolina PSAT probably isnt too hard i imagine, I think we're worse in the nation in education. But are all the psat cutoffs 200 or something?

i think i'm applying there.
they'll probably reject me, though, because i'm a high school dropout. we'll see.
but by the way, new college has nothing to do with USF anymore. it's just called new college of florida.
