1980 SAT, 3.4/4.0 GPA, lots of ECs... think i'll get in?

<p>I'm an out of state student, have taken a very rigorous academic schedule all 4 years including 8 APs.... 2 sport athlete, Class President for 3 years, member of multiple clubs including engineering club</p>

<p>SAT: 1980, Math 730, CR 630, W 620
GPA: 3.4 UW / 4.0 W (a little low i know )</p>

<p>think i'll get in? i plan on filling my application out in a few weeks</p>

<p>the oos stats are still pretty unknown. you’d have a very good shot as an in-state, but oos could change that dramatically.</p>

<p>Not gonna give you an evaluation but I also applied with a 1980 SAT (770CR, 610M, 600W, back when the writing wasn’t considered) with a 3.7 UF GPA from a private high school and got in a year ago. GPA isn’t everything. Good luck</p>

<p>dont know much about the school but @vicanity1, 3.4 and 3.7 gpas are incomparable</p>

<p>Work on the essay a lot, I’ve heard a few UF students say that their essay was make or break. Do you have a certain interest or passion that you maybe did in high school?</p>

<p>Jubilant, I was referring to my UF recalculated GPA. The OP was referring to his GPA on his school UW and W GPA’s. Regardless, I was giving an example in which someone with a below average UF GPA was admitted with the same composite SAT.</p>

<p>I was rejected this last cycle as an instate applicant.
3.7 W GPA & 2000 SAT. 8 Ap’s
720 M, 640V, 640W
Not top 10%
Good EC’s, multiple sports Blah,blah,blah</p>

<p>But do send your application and fee in anyway.
The state of Florida needs all the money it can get.</p>

<p>honestly i was an out of state student and i got rejected. Ya i had lower scores than you but now in state students are getting more recognization and the school is hardening there admission acceptance because of the funding, economy, and because the school overbook on students this year. Probably because Tim Tebow won the national championship and hes coming back for another year.</p>

<p>Hey TapOut, if you are not going to be at least supportive in some way, then dont even bother posting.</p>

<p>OP: EVERYONE has a chance, no matter how small it may be, even OOS applicants.</p>

<p>I mean look at me:</p>

<p>3.3 - 3.4 W GPA & 1200/1830ish SAT and 26 ACT SAT
Top 24%
Crazy ECs and leadership positions though
A great essay.</p>

<p>Remember, numbers arent EVERYTHING</p>

<p>good luck and if you need advice just ask.</p>

<p>Wow the smell of bitterness reeks in this thread. </p>

<p>You have a shot, not a definite in though at all.</p>

<p>As an OOS his chances are slim to none.
Go thru all the OOS “Chance me threads” from last year and you will probaly find not one person with those OOS stats who got in.</p>

<p>If he were in-state as gpowsang can attest he may have a chance. But even then it’s like winning the lottery.</p>

<p>You do not know who else from OOS applied last year, and, on top of that, your rude “honesty” is unwarranted.</p>
