Remember….if you want
to go to a 4 year university, consider the following:
|
qualify
for “Talented 20” Program – the top 20%
of senior class seeking a standard diploma based on WGPA
(weighted grade point average) and who have met State
University System required 19 courses (see below) for admission are guaranteed admission to one of Florida’s
public universities; OR
Note: you may not be accepted to
your first choice of schools, but you are guaranteed
admission to one of the universities. |
|
meet
minimum academic requirements: 4 credits English (3 with
substantial writing); 3 credits Mathematics (algebra
1 and higher); 3 credits natural science (2 with substantial
laboratory requirements); 3 credits social science; 2
credits foreign language (in same language); 4 credits
in approved electives AND it is recommended that you earn
at least a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) and achieve SAT/ACT
scores identified by the university where you are applying;
OR |
|
obtain
an Associate Degree from a Florida Community College
Note: This is a useful direction
to allow students who may not have completed the required
courses or did not earn the required grade point average
(GPA) to enter a university directly from high school
OR for students who need some extra time before committing
to a 4-year program. |
|
it
is helpful if you possess special talents and/or have
noteworthy extra-curricular and/or community service activities
(e.g.: art, music, athletics, or leadership) |
