Chance me?

It doesn’t seem very likely, but could I get some other opinions?
I am a Florida resident.
Race/Gender: White Female
Intended Major: Computer Engineering
GPA: 3.5 Weighted: 3.7
SAT: 2000
ACT: 32

I haven’t taken any AP classes until senior year, which I haven’t yet completed.

I have just over 100 community service hours.

Not many extra curricular activities.

I can speak Japanese and French

I know Python, C++, and HTML.

Your SAT score looks decent by UF standards, just under the 75% mark.

GPA is another story. Unless you do really well in your AP courses this year, I can see that being a big Achilles heel for your chances, along with not a ton of ECs which UF considers pretty highly.

That being said, I see that you MIGHT have a shot if your essay is super awesomely fantastic. From everything that I’ve heard from UF admissions officers, the essay is one of the most important bits of your app. A really good essay be enough to get them to overlook the bad GPA and rigor.

Overall, I hate to say it’s kind of a long shot, but not impossible.

Best of luck!
