Have you recalculated your SUS or “UF” GPA?

UF only looks at academic classes and gives a .5 bump for honors and 1.0 bump for AP/DE. UF only counts academic classes (math, science, social studies, English and foreign language and APs). Art, band, newspaper, yearbook or office aide don’t count. All AP classes count! So honors photography doesn’t count but AP Photography does. DE and AICE (I think but don’t know much about this) count. A very general but not always perfect guesstimate is halfway between your high school weighted and unweighted GPAs.

UF’s mid-range for recalculated GPAs last year was 4.2 - 4.6, for example.

Your ACT score is good and your ECs look strong as well. The question is the GPA and rigor of your schedule. If your recalculated is below 4.0, then you are definitely on the bubble. The good news is that UF uses holistic admissions, so anything is possible. They look closely at that non-academic part of your life too. Good luck but make sure you have a safety school on your list.
