USF admission chances
First time posting, lol. But I'm a junior right now and I'm wondering about my chances of getting into USF as an out of state aplicant. USF is my dream school and so I'll be applying early decision which I hear helps your chances. If you have any tips or stats you think is important please share! I'm just now working on my whole application on common app. Be brutaly honest if you have to, if I need to look at other colleges let me know what you think about the state school in SF, if it's worth it. But ultimately living in san francisco is my dream and going to USF would be amazing. I plan on majoring in biology as a pre med their BTW.
ACT: 21, but I don't think I'll submit it because USF is test optional ( is that a mistake?)

My freshman year started horrible, but I've gotten better grades since with 3.4-3.5 term sophmore year and 3.6-3.8 term junior year.
