Strong essay

what is your weighting system? Florida gives .5 for Honors and +1 for AP so your weighted GPA can’t match up to theirs.

Not sure if this is the latest but it’s showing a 4.4 - 4.6 and with a 3.6 UW, you won’t be there. Again, add .5 for each Honors and +1 for each AP/IB.

Your SAT is ok.

So I’d say, you have a chance if your GPA is there but mathematically it can’t be unless you only took APs (80% of classes). So likely not great.

But perhaps you still have a chance.

Good luck.

This would be an appropriate question for your high school college/guidance counselor as he or she should have a great deal of experience with students in your situation.

I’m not sure how true this is. There is a rumor that UF likes IB students. You have a good chance if your essay is very good.
