UF looks like a match to me. :slight_smile:

Holistic admissions can seem a bit random, but your GPA is fine, as are your EC’s. It would help if your test scores were a bit higher. UF doesn’t consider your choice of major in admissions. Keep in mind that UF doesn’t offer much in OOS merit based aid.

Good Luck!

Definitely a contender. Would look at retaking the SAT and working on boosting that. Study for the remainder of the summer and look at taking it again in the fall. UF superscores the SAT so you can focus on the math, for example, where you have more room for improvement.
