Does the 9 AP courses taken include your senior year?

UF uses a holistic review process, and I’d say your weighted GPA falls within the middle 50% range of 4.2-4.5. Your SAT/ACT scores fall a tad bit below, however, those won’t be the deciding factor.

My biggest advice…

  • Make your essay authentic, and really communicate how you can contribute to the UF’s diversity. A strong essay can make it or break it.
  • Highlight leadership, and commitment in your resume - explicitly details roles, hours of involvement, (any community impact, money fundraised, etc)

The “legacy” isn’t really considered that much. There’s thousands of legacies that apply to UF each year. I’d say you are a very competitive applicant. Best of luck! =)

I agree with the vast majority of Dracos’ post; my only wish-list item is that you nudge up your SAT or ACT some.

We were told at Preview that this year’s class had the highest stats of any class ever. ??
