I’m applying to USF for the fall 2017 term, and I was just wondering what my chances are. Here are my stats:
Unweighted GPA: 3.1
Weighted GPA: 4.1
USF Calculated: 3.67
Class Rank: 73 out of 156 (53rd Percentile)
Class Rigor: 15 AICE/AP classes (including senior year). Everything else is honors.

My Freshmen year and beginning of my sophomore year I did not perform the best academically, but there is an obvious upward grade trend.
I have taken the SAT twice and only have my scores back from the first time I’ve taken it. Results from the second attempt come back later this month and I plan on taking it for a third time in October. I also plan on taking the ACT for the first time in September.
SAT: 1120 (71st Percentile) (1st Attempt)

Computer Programming club (11-12)

I want to go to USF so bad, as it is my top choice. Do you think I can get in? If you don’t think I’ll get in is there anything I can do to improve my chances?
