<p>thank you....anyone else?</p>
<p>UF GPA only considers math, science, language, history and foreign language for their recalculated GPA: an honors class is +.5 and AP or IB class is +1 ... a dual enrollment class is only +.5 (all AP classes and dual enrollment are considered in UF GPA)</p>
<p>Matt, thanks for the link. I probably have a 60% or so chance based on that.</p>
<p>Does living for 3 years in a non-US country, visiting foreign places and learning that language help at all?</p>
<p>I think DE classes are +1 pt as well... Yeah, they are...when the UF admissions person came to our school, I took notes...</p>
