Kelly Said:

How difficult is it to be admitted to the University of Florida? Do I have a chance?

We Answered:

Your awards and extra-curriculum activities are wonderful, but your GPA is a little low. I think you have a good chance of being accepted there,but make sure you don t lie about anything on your application or you most certainty will not be accepted. I think you have a 90% chance of being accepted.

Yolanda Said:

What kind of scholarships are out there for me?

We Answered:

Just in case you don't get it back for some reason (every scholarship will have particular guidelines regarding its use and renewal), Fast Web is a good site to start with.

You can customize your search to fit you. There are scholarships to match your major, your interests, hobbies, etc.

You might try getting in touch with your old high school guidance counselor -- they very often have listings of local and state scholarships. They are less competitive and you never know if you would meet the criteria.

Finally, make sure you fill out the FAFSA so your college can try to match you up to any institution-specific scholarships -- you can also check out their website (most have a scholarship page) and see what else they have that you can be proactive about!
