<p>GPA: (UW) 3.9000 (W) 4.677
Will graduate summa cum laude (with highest honor), top 5% (top 10/451 students), and with a "Laureate Diploma," which is the most rigorous diploma in my school district that requires a 10,000 word thesis (mine will be on either gay rights, bioethics, or censorship in film and literature) & powerpoint, and passing at least 6 AP courses.
AP's: 11 AP's total in just about every subject. I didn't pass one, and it's in a prospective major. :/
Grades: I received two B's... One in 8th grade (as a lazy student) in Spanish, and one in Geometry honors (I had a terrible teacher). And no, this isn't a self-serving bias, it's true.
EC's: president of Drama Club (a bunch of plays, performing arts department award, & various awards at district & state levels as well as eligibility for international competition), president of International Thespian Society sector at my school, president & founder of our Competitive Science Club (under consideration from MIT's prestigious high school science competition), president of the Gay/Straight Alliance (organized a regional dance as a safe haven for teens), historian of the Glee Club (performed at many baseball games, gigs), National Honor Society member, Academic Team competitor, Key Club member, Video Club member, GCHS film festival entry & nominee for best actor, volunteer at the local hospital (countless hours), acting director of a children's performing arts camp (many hours), library volunteer, volunteer for set construction of plays (years), tutor for students in every subject (many hours), and volunteer at fundraisers.
Recs: I will have great recs... My teachers are phenomenal, but I'm sure everyone will have them as well.
Classes: took regular courses my freshman year (no choice), but advanced to AP classes/honors the following year -- weakest point
ACT: 29 (will retake for a better superscore)
SAT: taking in June (better at the ACT...)
SAT II: American History and Math I, but they aren't considered for UF.<br>
Hook: 1st generation Cuban American in Florida, hard income situation, and I'm gay (the latter shouldn't help, but it explains a lot on my resume haha).</p>
<p>You’re in. If you get your scores up, apply to OOS schools! You will be a very competitive applicant.</p>
<p>You’ll be fine! You are like 20 times better than me… Agreed with iSenior, apply OOS… you might end up at some truly wonderful institutions… <em>Go Gators</em></p>
<p>Yep I dont say this often but your a sure thing. I agree with what the others said applies up NE even if its just to see who bites.</p>
<p>Definitely in! Good luck! I got in for fall with a 25 on the ACT and a 4.51 weighted GPA.</p>
<p>I had a 29 and didn’t get in for Fall, when I applied very early -_-</p>
<p>Hispanic + ~30 ACT + 11 APs = Shoo-in</p>
<p>You’re definitely in. Just a heads up though: I don’t think UF superscores their ACT scores.</p>
<p>@rlynch93, I figured when I saw their honors college site, thank you! </p>
<p>I just copy and pasted my stats from another school’s forum, so I didn’t fix the wording.
To everyone else, thank you very much…that is very reassuring news. </p>
<p>@kellyfrenchyy, were you an out of state applicant?</p>
<p>I’m not trying to be mean, but this is a pointless thread. :P</p>
<p>Definitely apply to really good out of state schools. If you score 2200+ SAT and 700+ on SATIIs, with your Hispanic status you have a good shot at some Ivies.</p>
<p>In at UF btw, for sure. You can use UF and FSU as safeties.</p>
<p>@popcharlie: no FL resident</p>
<p>I’m sorry then. Honestly, that’s why I posted this thread… Regardless of scores and GPA, some schools are just so weird in their admissions process, and UF definitely appears to have this characteristic in the selection process. 
I’m sure you’re doing wonderfully at your school, even if not at UF. </p>
<p>@MetalMeatWad, I don’t entirely understand what you mean… I clearly wasn’t sure of my chances at the school, so I posted my stats. It’s fairly common with a bunch of CC users.</p>
<p>Update: I got accepted to Brown ED and to the PLME! SOOO EXCITED! </p>
<p>Thank you for all the support and advice on applying out of state… it certainly worked out fantastically, and I’m grateful for the helpful posters on here!</p>
