Applied for Summer B 2013</p>
<p>Nothing’s wrong with your application, but I’d like to clear two things up for you. Please refer to this thread: </p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-florida/1415447-state-students-have-no-greater-chance-than-oos.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-florida/1415447-state-students-have-no-greater-chance-than-oos.html</a></p>
<p>The fact that you’re in-state and applied to Summer B puts you at no more or less of a chance of being accepted. With that said, you don’t really need it. </p>
<p>Grades:
Your ACT’s are middle 50%, I would assume your (reweighted) UF GPA is above a 4.0, possible a 4.1. To compute your UF GPA-take only your academic courses. Add .5 to every honors and 1 to every AP (An “A” in an honors is 4.5, an “A” in AP is a 5.0). Your rank is very sexy to UF. Top 10% is not required, but very nice to see. </p>
<p>EC’s:</p>
<h2>Outstanding. I peer mentor as well. If you’re passionate about it, I hope you wrote about that passion in your additional information. UF sees passion and commitment and they go nuts. Part-time job+volunteer hours shows a great dedication outside of school. </h2>
<p>I wouldn’t worry TOO much about it if I was you. You’ve got much better stats than most of the people in these chance me-threads. Overall: Good chance.</p>
<p>My weighted 4.375 GPA is my recalculated UF GPA! Thanks so much, fingers crossed.</p>
<p>I think you have a great chance at being accepted. Good luck!</p>
<p>Not sure I agree with In State have no greater chance. Show some stats on percentage of in state apps to acceptance vs out of state apps to acceptance then I might agree.</p>
<p>That’s how I feel AB ^ With them having only 3% of their students from out of state according to <a href=“BigFuture College Search”>BigFuture College Search, I would think they would be a least a little more tough on out of state students… But hey, to each his own.</p>
<p>Guys, it just means there are more in-state applicants that out-of-state…less out-of-state students apply to UF…</p>
<p>And to the OP, awesome chance. As long as you made yourself look like a leader/innovator (that’s the key thing when reviewing holistically for UF admissions) to the admissions officers, you’re pretty much in.</p>
<p>I hope you selected Summer B because you wanted it and not because of the false idea that it’s easier to get into than Fall. It’s not. If you want Fall, email admissions to change it, so that once they accept you (if they do), they put you in Fall instead of Summer. And if you indicated Innovation Academy interest, I also hope you did it because you are interested in it and not because of the false idea that it’s easier to get into. Again, it’s not. It’s the same standards, so if you indicated that you wanted the program, but in reality you don’t…email admissions and notify them of that. That’s how, again, if they accept you, you will be put into the Summer or Fall terms. Indicating IA interest essentially increases the chances of you being put into IA after you have been admitted. This is because UF admissions want to make more Fall/Spring spaces for extra admits (so that those students can get accepted instead of getting rejected). The program is meant for prospective students and those interested in innovating and entrepreneurship. There have been many students who had made the mistake of indicating IA interest when they were NOT interested in reality, they just had a huge misconception on how admissions works (and that’s the price to pay for wrongly speculating).</p>
<p>I’m sound like a broken record everytime I talk about terms not affecting admissions lol. But it’s so important for everyone to know, both current and future applicants.</p>
