Wow, those are some incredible accomplishments. I think you’d be let into pretty much any college you apply to. UF would accept you in a heartbeat.

Some of my friends who got into UF don’t have half the achievements you do, and you’re still a junior.

@theycallmebrain thanks for the reply! I hope what you say is the case. Do you have any particular knowledge about the honors college?

No I don’t, I’m sorry. I’m a senior this year, and I’m still working on my UF application. I’ll apply to the honors college too and let you know how it goes.
