Answer 1

It's a LOTTERY.  It has absolutely nothing to do with your grades or FCAT scores.  People have this weird idea that it's based on grades, and also, that the kids who get into the more popular programs are somehow smarter than the others.  The only program that has a grade requirement at all is IB, and that is just that you have no more than 2 C's as final grades.  Once you meet that requirement, it is also a lottery, except that they let the kids from Ammons and F. C. Martin's IB programs in first.  So the trick is to choose a program that isn't as popular, so you'll have a better chance in the lottery (Fewer applicants = better chance).  If you don't care, agriscience is probably a good shot.  Business isn't bad either.  Medical seems to have the most applicants, other than IB.  If you have a talent, VPA is not a lottery, but an audition.  Of course, then you're in VPA for four years.
