<p>What are my chances as an out-of-state student?</p>
<p>GPA 3.67
SAT - 1270 (reading 630, Math 640, Writing 610)
ACT 27</p>
<p>Good essay, tons of extra-curriculars, and great recommendations.</p>
<p>It doesn't look very good. All of your stats are below average for UF and it definitely doesn't help that your out of state. I would say like 30% chance.</p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>is that 3.67 unweighted? Because if not, I hate to say that you have a slim chance. These days it's hard enough to get into FSU and UF even as an in-state student. Best wishes, though.</p>
<p>Even if you were an in-state student, I would say your chances are low, even if that is your UW GPA. Sorry, but the other posts above me are right. Also you missed the main November 1st deadline. You can still send an application in, but it will be even HARDER than it already is. I guess it could change though depending on the ECs you have, if they are very noteworthy, or if you have some excellent awards. Can you post them? I never give up on ANYONE!</p>
<p>If you are an URM you have a chance.</p>
<p>If you are not 30%.</p>
<p>Mario,</p>
<p>I sort of disagree a bit here. according to the UF site 55% in the SAT range you are in got accepted. Your GPA pulls down your chances a bit (a 3.67 GPA is still very good), but I think (while controversial on this site) being out of state helps your chances. UF is constantly talking about funding needs and accepting more oos students is one way of achieving this objective. </p>
<p>I wish you well and I hope you get in!</p>
<p>did you at least take any AP/DE/IB?</p>
<p>No way you get into UF.</p>
<p>Mario</p>
<p>ALL colleges accept some students below the mid 50% and reject some students above the mid 50%. UF is no exception to this rule. Don't get me wrong, UF is a very competitive university with extremely difficult admissions standards and a great place to boot. That still doesn't mean that ever applicant who falls a bit short of the mid 50% threshold won't get in.</p>
<p>most likely, they rely heavily on GPA and SAT/ACT, but if you speak to UF admissions they like to talk about their "holistic" appraoch to applicants. This would include elements outside of GPA/SAT/ACT.</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>UF needs OOS students, as far as I'm concerned.</p>
<p>I'd be the first to sign up, doubleplay. Go Gators!</p>

<p>what other schools have you applied to other than UF?</p>
<p>I'm in college already. I didnt bother applying to UF as I was nowhere near qualified. I was thinking of going the FL CC-->UF route, but it wasnt worth it. I'm just a lifelong Gator fan (and my dad got his JD from UF).</p>
<p>I applied in July. Peer Mentor, youth court, model congress, track captain, sign language, ss and world language honor society plus more. Does this up my chances?</p>
<p>Your weighted GPA is probably the single most important factor, followed by SAT scores, then ECs and other factors. Is 3.67 unweighted? The middle 50% of admitted UF students, according to their website, currently has a weighted GPA of 4.0 to 4.4, and SAT scores between 1210 and 1400. If your weighted GPA is above 4.0, you have at least a reasonable chance. However, if your HS GPA is 3.67 weighted, you don't have much of a chance unless you have something else very compelling in your admission portfolio that makes you stand out from the crowd.</p>
<p>To weight your GPA, UF-style, add .5 for Honors classes, 1.0 for AP classes, and eliminate all non-academic classes. </p>
<p>Also, your GPA will be considered within the context of your school. At my son's HS, 50% of the class (or more) had a GPA above 3.7. But at their school... so what? Our hs had a lot of GRADE INFLATION, especially when you looked at the school scattergram and saw students with 4.0+'s, <em>but</em> 900-1000 SAT scores. People were shocked when their kids didn't get into UF with 4.0s.<br>
So, my answer would be, let it play out. Your transcript, your classes, and your standing compared with your peers, will count for a lot.</p>
<p>If you put all the peer mentoring, court, congress, captain, etc. in your application- it can only help! Good luck</p>
<p>i am abit confused. i know the stats on the UF page list such a high GPA, but when you review the "stats" section of cc
<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/profiles/index.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/profiles/index.html</a></p>
<p>and search for the uf class of 2011, clearly there are many students who gained admission and didn't have a 4.0+ gpa.</p>
<p>also, web sites like princeton review it lists the following admission data</p>

<p>don't get me wrong. UF is a great school and is ranked the highest in florida, but i find it hard to beleive that if you have a 3.75 GPA and SAT's in the mid 50% range above that you don't have a reasonable chance?</p>
<p>thats UF weighted GPA...an A in an AP/IB class is worth 5 and a B is 4</p>
<p>I dont think so</p>
<p>I'm just curious. How does UF define "non-academic?" There are a lot of classes at my school that are required for EVERY student, such as multiple fine arts courses and computer applications 1 and 2. BTW, I took the honors versions of these courses. Also, does college writing count as an academic course?</p>
