<p>Hey, I believe if your you have an amazing shot of getting in. Apparently URM helps according to people and I think rank is actually pretty big to them (and I can only expect you to be in the top 10% with a 5.2 weighted lol). Good luck!</p>
<p>My high school is really competitive so I’m only in the top 31% of my class</p>
<p>If I heard correct, to calculate my UF gpa I use the normal 4=A, B=3, etc. scale and add .5 for honors and 1 for AP’s. I was told you only account for Math, Science, English, History, Social Studies, and Foreign Language classes. </p>
<p>My UF gap is 3.93</p>
<p>I still think its a match though 
Just write a good essay and resume and hope for that acceptance</p>
<p>Hi-
If you are looking for an honest response-
- There is no way you can go from a 3.4 to a 5.2 GPA, you math is off
- You SAT score of 1840 is below average
- I would retake the SAT, strive for a 1970 or higher and submit the higher SAT score before December 23, I believe this is the last day they accept amended SAT scores.
If your SAT doesn’t improve, then “”"“I”""" believe your chances are minimal. Even an 3.9 ( UF doesn’t round up ) is below average.
Goodluck
PS, I am not sure how being a single mom will help…This may be a problem with the admission team…Also…Not sure how being an African American will help either… It all comes down to grades and scores…Or if you can play football…</p>
<p>I don’t like to be the one to say this, but your stats are almost identical to my brother’s…he didn’t get in. </p>
<p>He had a 1250/1600, a 1840/2400, and a 3.84 applying UF GPA.</p>
<p>With that said, he is also first generation college and hispanic.</p>
<p>He didn’t get in. But he also had ZERO volunteer hours for his sophmore and junior years of HS, and wasn’t in any clubs really. Being a florida resident doesn’t help or hurt you, as the admissions process doesn’t take residency into account when accepting, only for scholarships. </p>
<p>My brother didn’t get in, and you two are almost identical academically. Hope your community service hours, race, single mother, and Basketball team commitment can get you in.</p>

<p>I believe he was saying that he was RAISED by a single mother, not that he is a single mother xD. I don’t know if UF takes Race into account, I know UM does. We’ll find out in December whether or not Affirmative Action is even legal or not. Furthermore, ANY sports teams shows a time commitment, they don’t look upon Basketball, Soccer, Football, or any other sport more fondly than any others.</p>
<p>@ilovethe47 I wasn’t sure how to calculate my UF gpa at that point. My school says I have a 3.6 unweighted, 5.2 weighted and a 3.93 UF.
@BornToBeaGator yeah I never really thought I had an outstanding chance but there are always weird circumstances with admissions so I am optimistic. </p>
<p>What do you guys think about my FSU, Auburn and Clemson chances?</p>
<p>I think you’re good at FSU too, don’t know about the other 2.</p>
<p>Adrian07- The UF weighed GPA is very simple to calculate. For your first three years of high school, ( senior year doesn’t count in your overall UF GPA ) calculate all your classes except Gym, basket weaving and any religious classes you took directly required by your high school if you attended a private religious based school, such as catholic school. Then add 1.00 for each AP class you took and .5 for each honors class you took. Example, if you took ALL AP classes during the first three years in high school and received an “A” on each class then your perfect maximum GPA UF weighed GPA would be a 5.0.
You have a better chance @ FSU, but I believe that UF may be a reach.</p>
<p>No, UF hasn’t taken race into account since 2001. They do, however, take into account first generation college students and socio-economic background. </p>
<p>I think you have a good chance at the other three schools you listed. Please let us know how it goes, and good luck!</p>
<p>My brother got into Clemson with those stats, good luck :)</p>
