My test scores aren’t great but I know both universities review applications holistically. I also understand that I don’t have the best extracurriculars but I heard it’s more about quality and not quantity.

You’re likely to get into both schools, but that low test score really makes your chances a little too random, especially at UF. The middle 50% of admitted students, at UF, had a SAT score of 1290 to 1440. Get closer to 1290 and your chances really jump.

Due to holistic admissions, you are likely to get in with an 1180, but getting it up, even 30 to 60 points will help a bunch!

Good Luck!

@Gator88NE Update: I retook the SAT and bumped it up to a 1270. I was accepted to FSU and yesterday was admitted into The University of Miami as well. UF is the last one I’m waiting on. Thanks for your help!
