Yup, i’m talking about UF. UF is probably my biggest application and i’m really hoping to have a decent shot at getting in. I sent my application before the deadline and just want to know the over/under on my chances at getting in.

ECs (Sorry for no tl;dr):
- Over 2000 service hours (2152), mostly in music. Co-founder of a music foundation that has helped hundreds of kids in low income neighborhoods. I give classes, do IT website and financial work, serve on the board, and am concertmaster of the most advanced orchestra.

Played for the pope in October of sophomore year. Received a blessing from the new pope in addition to playing in several other cathedrals in Milan, Asisi, Turin, and Rome.
My ECs are not well balanced in the slightest and anything besides math, music, and business is not relevant at all. Hopefully the time i’ve put into them does show in my application because i put in thousands of hours of work into making the stuff i do have work.
