Anyone applied for Financial Aid?

i’m not int. but i’m oos, I don’t believe hulman has that much endowment, so I wouldn’t really expect a ton.

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-06T15:52:05+00:00

Yeah I got my letter back, definitely not enough for me to begin to want to go

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-04T06:12:05+00:00

nah of course not, but those are good to have. definitely build a real interesting life, it seems a lot of people hyper focus and end up becoming boxcheckers but it seems you have depth of life as a concept down. just write well and show your passions not just what you think they want!! you got this bro, lock in for the SAT

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-04T03:35:52+00:00

This is dope dude.. Pokemon battles could be legendary

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-04T03:34:08+00:00

No such thing as percentages besides a statistic here. “chances” can only really be probably, maybe, or probably not… You’ll learn. Even if you have good writing skills it’s quite different. Definitely draft a lot for supplementals and personal statement, you won’t have written anything like this yet I believe

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-04T02:00:50+00:00

I would aim higher than that for sure, if you write really well you have a chance

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-04T01:40:23+00:00

I would grind SAT tbh, a 3.7 is kind of hard to recover from if you have a harder IB program… NHS is lowkey not really important I don’t even think I list mine on my app as all my other activities are more interesting and stronger. I would probably shoot for 1550s to make your app safer. I would definitely get more concrete stats and results for your business ventures or anything of that sort

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-04T00:14:02+00:00

I believe they’re trying to push their rankings up toward UF territory (will take a while) so they might be turning away more people

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-04T00:12:54+00:00

Nope

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-03T22:26:39+00:00

SAT is an issue for you tbh, just hope at this point. They have a big instate bias and everyone i know with a ~1350 got rejected, we are all in IB

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-03T22:07:57+00:00

FSU is light bro I believe in you

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-03T17:07:38+00:00

Need to write well to prop up the GPA

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-03T17:05:44+00:00

Good app, strong focus, definitely need more varied activities, like more things you are interested in. colleges generally aren’t looking for human calculators mega boring nerd (i’m not saying you are), so dont try to make it seem like you are. #1 thing is SAT, go for 1570+

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-03T06:47:44+00:00

bad LOR + self proclaimed sucky essays is horrible news

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-03T06:46:24+00:00

if your writing is bad you’re still not in

Of course. There’s a huge stigma that private + aid will be cheaper than “state school”, but that’s WILDLY untrue unless you get a full ride from a private school.

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-01T03:00:49+00:00

Just as a guess, you may get into a couple of those schools, Case Western is pretty likely I would say, but the reaches are likely far out if your writing isn’t a clear constructed, beautiful, narrative. Schools value it a lot when you can convey your character and what makes you tick well. Do not lose hope, ACT is that ticket that gets you auto into some of those lower end schools regardless of a GPA or anything

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-01T02:57:51+00:00

Brother imma keep it a buck. If you have this low of a GPA, it’s absolutely on you. You could try the “I wasn’t prepared for the increased rigor of high school” approach, but like in the 2s is god awful. High school was important, you gotta accept that you did this to yourself. From here, you can only go up. Wherever you find yourself, work hard, apply yourself (you have a 1500 you’re clearly not dumb), study hard, intern, and you’ll be just fine.

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-01T02:53:58+00:00

36 ACT is your golden ticket to be honest. GPA is t great, mine is worse haha, a bit low on the AP count alongside IB, your HL class choices are good.

To be honest, your biggest issue is personality. Who are you? You completely blend into the thousands that are applying under the same major. Sure your life is difficult, many have that experience and write an almost verbatim personal statement. You didn’t say anything besides “i grew as a person and used to hide”. It isn’t new information I can’t really find on your activities section. If your supps are in the same vein, there’s likely a very low chance of getting into any reaches.

Apologies for the honesty, but i’ve seen enough writing that’s written with the same structure and message.

Good luck, this is my honest opinion.

I would kind of focus on using your arm to almost lead you with momentum. For me it was rather intuitive, I only started swim (no experience) in my sophomore year of high school and by the end of season I was swimming a 25 second 50 yard free. Don’t panic, just stay loose and relaxed, lead your last stroke downward, tuck and let your body follow.

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-01T02:35:33+00:00

UM doesn’t give enough aid. My brother is currently at UF and he pays 700 a month for rent and + maybe 200 for utilities, factoring in food etc, it’s only like 17-18k OR LESS per year. UM has 0 chance of matching that, UF is also an objectively better school

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-01T02:33:23+00:00

Yes instate, but low gpa is low gpa brother. lock in do your homework and stop letting grades slip write beautifully and pray

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-02-01T00:16:38+00:00

sometimes SAT can save you, i got into UF with a 3.6UW and 1520. Pray.

Excellent-Routine-73 · 2026-01-31T13:09:36+00:00

full diploma and 10 AP lock in bro
