<p>i posted this in the College Admissions forum yesterday, but i think this is a more appropriate forum.</p>
<p>I'm a bit worried as to whether I will get accepted to the University of Florida, especially since it is becoming quite competitive these days (not nearly as competitive as ivy league, but it's not just a state school anymore)</p>
<p>here's some info about myself, after just completing junior year:</p>
<ul>
<li>in the full IB diploma program (i have heard UF is the most pro-IB university in the world)</li>
<li>3 AP classes taken junior year only</li>
<li>3.3 unweighted GPA, 4.2 weighted GPA (i do have some scattered C's on semester grades, but my junior year was very good and did not have any C's)</li>
<li>attend one of the best high schools in the country even according to newsweek, west coast of florida</li>
<li>class rank currently about 85/140 for the IB class, probably around 20% for the whole high school senior class (approx. 500 students)</li>
<li>over 250 volunteer hours (due to IB) all at one place since freshman year</li>
<li>was once in mu alpha theta, currently in spanish honor society, NHS, etc</li>
<li>no job ever held</li>
<li>i scored 1920 on new SAT in march (600 CR, 590 M, 730 W), retook june 4 and am waiting for results</li>
<li>no sports or other extracurriculars, but i am very much into art and computers and design...i have independently studied quite a lot of programming and design</li>
</ul>
<p>in addition, my brother is currently an undergraduate junior at UF. for the application, i will not blow it off, i will have a very good recommendation and i will produce a solid essay.</p>
<p>what do you think? i'm actually pretty worried....should i be?</p>
