<p>Which of the classes above will be considered?</p>

<p>Calculated GPA to be 3.9-4.05 UF GPA with grade forgiveness considered.</p>

<p>And how do they look at Grade forgivesness for 3 classes in junior year If it was because I was sick and had many absences(Old grade shows up, with a separate section on transcript showing new grades from FLVS). SAT is 680 m 620 cr 700 w. Might take in January another time in case I get rejected and use it to help a possible appeal.</p>

<p>Essay and extracurricular acts are pretty good. I would say the extracurricular and leadership points are strong.</p>

<p>top 10% of 700</p>

<p>Do I have a chance for Summer B, Fall, or the new 2013 innovation academy @ UF.</p>

<p>all the classes you listed above will count towards your gpa. The ones that do not count are PE, Drivers ED, and other non academic electives.</p>

<p>UF calculates your GPA by adding 1.0 to all AP grades and .5 to your honors grades. In other words if you receive an A in AP history you would figure 4.0 + 1.0 = 5.0 or if it were honors 4.0 + .5 = 4.5.</p>

<p>If I were you I would write my essay pointing out that were sick and how you made a comeback. Comeback essays are an excellent topic.</p>

<p>by the way a 2000 is a very good SAT score. And yes definitely retake it, dont settle UF doesnt like to see that any applicant settled and were satisfied with any test score.</p>

<p>Good Luck to you and congrats on the good grades.</p>

<p>Oh yea I forgot to mention I’m a senior. I already applied, but I believe my essay was pretty good and it was about my life experience around the world etc.</p>

<p>I did mention I was sick in the “Additional details” box, and that it caused my grades to be lower.</p>
