I’d say your a pretty average applicant. Your extracurriculars are pretty much already seen in many applicants, your gpa unfortunately is slightly low for UFs average (4.0-4.5) however, your ACT scores are superb. But dont go by what I say, it is just my opinion. Ask around, and just apply you might be surprised. Good luck though!!
@Soccerchic24 Well 4.0-4.5 is for weighted Gpa. The 3.85 is for my unweighted while my weighted GPA is around 5.08
My apologies than you are pretty much set. Your gpa is anove average. Good luck!!
Your extracurriculars are not very strong though, and UF puts a lot of weight on holistic admissions. Have a back up plan, but best of luck!
Your weighted “UF” GPA will be something less than a 5.0. It’s +0.5 points for honor classes (pre-IB are honor courses), +1.0 points for IB/AP/AICE/DE classes. Only include academic classes. Include geometry, if you took it in 8th grade.
Either way, I’m sure your GPA will be fine as is your ACT score. However, keep in mind that 50% of UF’s holistic admissions is based on GPA (most important), Class Rigor, essay and test scores(least important). The other 50% is based on EC’s, leadership, volunteer, work, etc. This can make UF admissions seem a bit random.
Good Luck!
