Your test scores are excellent but your GPA is a bit low for UF. It also doesn’t look like you took a particularly rigorous schedule. (My daughter had 8 APs and my son will likely have 9 or 10; and many kids from our high school too way more than that.) UF wants to see that you challenged yourself and took a hard schedule, and they value high GPA over test scores. The other important aspect of UF holistic admissions is other things you did outside of school: work, extracurricular activities, clubs, volunteer work – and leadership roles within these things. Given what you have shared, the test score stands out but the other important factors appear to be lacking. Not knowing all the details of your application, I would say that you should definitely have a couple safety schools in your pocket. UF holistic admissions can feel like a mystery, so its best to have a backup plan.

Also, UF has a bridge program for certain engineering majors (CS is one of them), you might be a fit for Gator Engineering at Santa Fe. But you don’t apply specifically for it. UF offers the program to a small number of deserving future engineers who might not qualify for a regular fall or summer admit. Good luck.
