<p>I was an exchange student in Norway my junior year, so I'm marked as a 3-year grad, and I have to resend my transcripts in January with this semester's grades on them. I currently have a 6.0 for this semester, so I'm hoping my GPA with go up. I will still graduate with 30+ credits even though I only technically was enrolled in school 3 years.</p>

<p>I worked really hard on my essay and wrote about my experience going abroad during my junior year.</p>

<p>My one big turn off on my app is a 0 I got in an online class because I was dropped from it while I was in Norway. I explained how it happened on my app, and I am currently retaking the class so the grade will probably be replaced by the time I resend my transcript.</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance at UF… I even think if you apply to honors theres a chance you could get in there :slight_smile: Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks :slight_smile:
But I think the qualification for honors is 2070 on the SATs…I was considering retaking them in December but I don’t know where I could jump up on points…</p>

<p>In “MY” opinion, you have a good chance of acceptance as long as you are applying as an in state applicant. If you are considered an out of state applicant, then your chances are just average.</p>

<p>Yea, too bad UF doesn’t take residency into account during the admissions process. They only consider it for scholarships. </p>

<p>In state and OOS students have the exact same chances.</p>

<hr>

<p>Also: You’re in. Don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>I’m in-state. But I heard that the state universities have to include all the districts in Florida when admitting students. So is it true I’m at a disadvantage because I’m from a large county (Broward)?</p>

<p>^^^Idk where you heard that, but they have to do no such thing. UF will refute time and time again the notion that they have a “cap” on counties, schools, or in state vs. OOS students.</p>
