I realize that this school is a reach, if I were to score above a 1400 and we were to assume that my essay is average among the accepted how much of a difference would it make?

Did you calculate your uf gpa using just your final grades?
That being said, the test score is good but it’s better to improve it. The gpa is not In the uf lane for summer or fall. Rigor is pretty lean. You also haven’t listed any major ECs or leadership. UF wants well rounded superstars.
The only thing you can improve at this late date is your test score. If you can get a new score in by December 15, they will accept it.
If you look at the UF common data set, you will see they care most about gpa, rigor, ecs, leadership and the essay. Test scores are less important than these to uf.
I would be sure to have a safety or two lined up.
Thank you. I’m also applying to UCF, Florida state, uni of south Florida, Florida tech and uni of north Florida
