Really want to get into UF this upcoming year (fall of 2017 - senior in HS right now) but I’m not sure if I’m good enough.
GPA: 3.5 UW / 4.2 W (these are estimates. In reality probably a bit higher). Had a lot of hardship in Freshmen and Sophomore year in part because I was taking Junior/Senior level AP/IB courses.
Attending a top high school and did last year at a community college taking “rigorous” classes getting mostly straight A’s. Doing this year at another FL university.
Sibling graduated UF undergrad and is attending a grad program there now.
In my spare time I am in non-profit administration and am in business. Participated in a few clubs in CC and am planning to do the same this year in Uni. (Intentionally vague on this since it would be very easy to find my real identity if I specified any further)
A 1370 on the new SAT equates to a 1930 on the old SAT.
Your GPA and SAT put you in the middle 50% of admitted students. You may want to re-take the SAT, since UF will superscore the results. You have until the end of December to get UF any new test scores.
Other than that, you seem to be taking a rigorous course load, and have several EC’s (which matter in UF’s holistic admissions). UF looks like a match. Make sure you put effort into your essay, it’s as important, if not more so, than your test scores.
