<p>Alright, my son applied to UIUC, so I can speak to that. The difficulty is, most schools look at unweighted gpa so the 3.3 is going to hurt. My son was admitted to UIUC, as an out of state student, in humanities, not College of Engineering or Sciences (which are much tougher cutoffs for stats). He had just about 3.5 unweighted (3.496 or something absurd) and probably 4.2-4.3 weighted, though his school didn’t weight so it is a guess – he was all IB/AP 11th and 12th grade, with honors level before that in most subjects. His ACT superscored was 30. He was admitted to Urbana Champaign during the second wave (late Feb admission) though if he were engineering and science, I am sure it would have been a diffferent result. </p>

<p>I don’t have specific knowledge about UT, Pitt, Penn State or Florida but my guess is that, UT and UF, as flagships (even instate at Florida), those stats are just not in the ballpark. </p>

<p>I often suggest this, because we had a good experience, but Univ Iowa is a terrific school, plus admission is based on a formula which you can calculate online to see if you will be admitted. Take a look at Minnesota- Twin Cities as well. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
