The biggest thing that has me worried is my low-ish GPA. I think I may have messed up somewhere calculating it so I’m trying it again soon.

Did you only calculate the academic core classes

How do you compare to your peers + how rigorous was your schedule? That is an important factor and you taking rigourous classes will help make up for your gpa being on the low side.Besides that you’re a match your at the 25 Percentile in GPA but your SAT is over their 75 percentile which helps. UF looks at your application - 50% acadamic (gpa sat rigour) and then the other 50% ( essay ECs volunteering etc)

I’ve taken close to 15 AP classes and like 8 DE classes but so have a lot of others from my highschool (its competitive) so I’m not sure.

UF is a match. However, like FloridaBoy954 said, UF does like to compare you to your peers. It’s better to be in the top 10% than not. 75% of enrolled students are in the top 10%.

However, at very competitive (rigorous) schools, you’ll find more accepted students outside of the top 10% than at a far less rigorous school.

Your EC’s are fine, and you should include everything, including the awards and engineering program.

Good Luck!
