<p>Hello Guys,</p>
<p>I am a Jewish male from Boca Raton, FL. Also, tell me my chances for the other colleges I mention towards the bottom. </p>
<p>First, let me fill in as to why I am a special case. We'll unfortunately, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma one week prior to the beginning of junior year, which meant I had to drop my 3 APs( AP Human Geography, AP European History, AP Literature). From August 2005-February 2006, I was on chemotherapy and had to attend school via telephone which only offered regular courses. Secondly, I had no time to prepare for my collegeboards so my scores definitely do not reflect my IQ. During middle school, I was enrolled in the Gifted Program at my middle and achieved a 3.75 unweighted GPA. My stats are below, but my question for you is, what do you think my chances are for UF with my type of conditions. I have been in remission for one year, ..knock on wood. But, I was rushed in the SAT subject and SAT Reasoning Test process while students got months and months of study, I was stuck in a bed with an IV hooked up to my arm pumping strong chemicals into my body. Also, my attendance record for this year is sort of on the high side, but I still achieved a 4.8 weighted GPA and 3.8 unweighted GPA for the 1st semester of senior year.</p>
<p>Stats:
GPA UW(9th-11th):3.685
GPA W(9th-11th): 3.954
Rank: 18th Percentile
GPA UW(10th-11th;For UCLA and UCSD): 3.85
GPA W(10th-11th):4.13
SAT:rather not say, above AVG, but not a 1300.</p>
