<p>Haveheart, I never said it was impossible to get admitted without high test scores. I just said most people would not have good chances, which still holds true. Statistically your “sister” is very lucky. The fact that you weren’t admitted shows that when your stats deviate highly from the mean, luck is going to play a big factor. Also UF considers GPA more than test scores. So when your sister has a better GPA, as you already said, you can’t be that surprised.</p>

<p>UF admission itself states only about 10% of those admitted have an SAT below 1000. With a score that low, I am sure she had to have a really competitive GPA with great ECs.</p>

<p>Congratulations to your sister, she accomplished something only 10% of applicants can do.</p>

<p>i dont even know how you get an 860 on the sat</p>

63

<p>Well UF didn’t care about the 860 because they just use the best score, so 22 ACT was what they used.</p>

<p>Dabigdawg72 - 10% of those that aplied with a score below 1000 got admitted, not 10% of all the applicants, and those 291 admitted with bellow a 1000 makes up roughly 1/30th of the total amount admitted.</p>

<p>And 1/2 of those are probably recruited athletes?
And a 22 ACT = 1030 SAT</p>

<p>haveheart
Your sister was probably top 10% at your school.
Class president etc?</p>

<p>I obviously don’t like my chances with the appeals process, but I’m going to go through with it regardless. I visited the campus last month and loved it; it immediately became my first choice. I’m out of state, though, which my have killed my application. 33 ACT and 4.52 GPA at one of Chicagoland’s best high schools? I should be in and that’s why I’m appealing</p>

<p>can you appeal to a different major and have chance to get accepted cause the field you applied before is so competitive?</p>
