Chances (ever heard that before?)

<p>I was wondering what you thought my chances at admission were. On **************, it says that I statistically have an 86% chance (basically on the website over 50% means your in, under 50% means your out; it's not an actual statistic). However, based on the stuff I've seen people saying on here, I've gotten a bit worried. UF is my second choice school, but I'm probably not going to get in to my first choice school (Stanford). And beyond that, UCF I really don't want to go to... it's not a very good school... and UM is just way to expensive. So, I know that hearing what you guys think will not change the actual result, but it will be comforting to at least have an idea, regardless of what that idea suggests. So:</p>

<p>GPA: My school computes it weirdly, so on a standard scale:
Freshman: 3.6 3.1
Sophomore: 3.8 3.3 (average = 3.8 or 3.3)
Junior: 4.0 3.5
SAT:
CR: 670
M: 670
W: 640
Cumulative: 1980
I will have 2 AP classes prior to graduation (my school only offers four) and two honors classes. Over the past four years I have acquired 21 high school credits, 20 of which are academic. I also have 9 quarter hours from Stanford University's summer program last year.</p>

<p>ECS: Student Council (President this year) past four years, Disciplinary Committee past three years, EPYCS past year years</p>

<p>Community Services, 400+ hours
And... my school has a foreign travel program, where we travel abroad for a month out of every year. I've been to: Portugal, South Africa, and Senegal and will travel to Chile this year.</p>

<p>Thanks!

<p>The low GPA will hurt but the 1340 definitely gives you reason to hope. I think you're lingering around the 50% mark. This is mainly due to the emphasis they put on GPA, as well as the ever increasing competition in admissions and the budget cuts leading to the enrollment cap. That is all assuming that you're an in-state applicant. It might seem a little harsh but a 3.8 average GPA is very low on UF's standards even going back 2 and 3 years. Good luck</p>

<p>You do have an upward trend going for you in the GPA area, however, your GPA and SAT are higher than mine, so I'm going to ask you to withdraw your app :P ;)</p>
