<p>In the time it took you to type your resume you could have dropped cross country for varsity football which would guarantee your admission provided you can play special teams.</p>

3

<p>Your standardized test scores are relatively low. </p>

<p>Although most people often dismiss the first time they take the test, only about 50% of people improve on their 2nd ACT or SAT.</p>

<p>Unless you can get to at least a 1300 SAT score, I would say you are 50/50.</p>

4

<p>Your chances are way better than 50/50 even without retaking either standardized test. Don’t listen to this tool. </p>

<p>You have a fantastic GPA derived from a curriculum rife with APs. That fantastic class ranking looks very nice, also. A 28/1850 isn’t going to blow the admissions officers away, but I know of students who were accepted this year who received lower on both tests. I wouldn’t be surprised to see your scores improve upon your next sitting.</p>

5

<p>Classy Invictus, but if you want to be certain for admission I wouldn’t risk it with sub-par test scores.</p>

<p>Plenty of kids in my schools graduating class were turned down with a GPA similar to yours with SAT scores a little bit higher.</p>

6

<p>Your GPA, class rank, ECs, and CSs are great.</p>

<p>Since you are retaking the SAT, remember that UF superscores!</p>

<p>I would put you at around 80%, but if you do better on the tests second time around your chances are sure to increase.</p>

<p>Best of luck</p>

<p>UF does not superscore the ACT.</p>

<p>^Thanks for the reminder, I did so many college apps that I must have mixed UF up with the ones that do superscore. THANKS</p>
