Yes. Forgot to mention though that for UF/FSU/UGA/GSU I could get either Georgia or Florida residency so I wouldnt be looking at a ton of debt.....

Already taken it twice. Guess it is possible for 4 tries though....thexfactor wrote:both. Schools care muhc more about numbers and usnews rankings than if you retake 2-3 times.

Re: 2.91/164 and a decision
I didn't get any of UGA/FSU/IUB with a similar GPA and a 165 last cycle (didn't apply to the rest). However, I was not in-state in Georgia or Florida, so maybe it makes a slight difference. Also, if you're going to re-take in February, you have to wait for next cycle. Applying with Feb scores doesn't work for splitters (though it can help for scholarship increases).

Re: 2.91/164 and a decision
I was thinking apply and use feb to get off waitlists. I'm leaning towards retaking december now. I feel like if I can improve 2 points it would be just as good if not better than applying with a 164, because I would be waitlisted anyways.keg411 wrote:I didn't get any of UGA/FSU/IUB with a similar GPA and a 165 last cycle (didn't apply to the rest).
