<p>5.5 weighted? ***?</p>

<p>Are you a Florida resident? If yes, you have a decent chance at getting in. Unfortunately, out-of-state is extremely difficult, and I think you would be a long shot if you aren’t a resident.</p>

4

<p>Yeah, I have a 5.5 weighted b/c of AP/honors classes. And yes, I am a florida resident.</p>

5

<p>How do you weigh your classes?</p>

6

<p>I thought AP classes were worth up to 5.0, weighted? If that were so, then it would be impossible to get a 5.5 weighted cumulative GPA, even if all your classes were AP’s since freshman year.</p>

7

<p>Yes, it is impossible for you to have a 5.5. UF will recalculate your GPA on their own scale (.5 for honors and 1.0 for AP/IB).</p>

8

<p>Figured out how to recalculate since I got my unofficial transcript today. Its 4.33.</p>
