Sorry for the repost, my SAT just significantly went up, and I miscalculated my UF GPA.
I live in MA however I get in state tuition because my dad lives in Florida. I don’t know if it matters but I lived in Florida for 12 years and my sister went to UF (legacy).
GPA: 3.57 weighted (however, my UF GPA is around a 3.74. so worried about this…)
SAT: 2130
M: 690
R: 720
W: 730
Class rigor with grades (taking off + and - since UF doesn’t count them):
high school classes in middle school (in Florida)-
Spanish 1 advanced (A)
Spanish 2 advanced (A)
Honors Earth Space Science (B)
Honors Biology (A)
Honors Algebra 1 (A)
high school (in MA)-
note: the successive levels at my school are SP (standard prep), CP (college prep), AE (accelerated enriched), and Honors/AP (yes, they clump it into one level)
If it makes any difference, I go to one of the top, most difficult public high schools in Massachusetts. My school doesn’t do class rank but because there are many of the smartest people at my school, my class rank probably isn’t impressive. However, could the high level of my school help me in admissions at all?
Also, at my school it is customary that you only start taking AP’s junior year. That’s why I don’t have many. I don’t know if colleges know this.
My counselor told me to put AE classes as honors in the SSAR so that’s what I did (AE at my school is comparable to honors at normal schools)
9th grade:
BIOLOGY AE (they made me retake bio…) (B)
ENGLISH 1 (unleveled, so CP at UF) (A)

Also, these are graphs of acceptances to UF in my school in past years. I am the red circle, except this is before my SAT updated, so now I’ll be shifted quite a bit to the right. The top one is /2400 SAT score and the bottom is /1600.
The other link is some stats also from my school. Based on these, and your general view on my stats, how do you think my chance looks?
