<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>
