Chances of getting into UF?

Applying to College

<p>Hi all!
I just wanted to see what you guys would think about my chance of getting into UF this fall. I am aware that I probably won't get in, but I just want to see what chances most of you guys would agree that I have.</p>

<p>Male
Hispanic (Both mother and father immigrants from South America)
In-state
SAT: 2020 (superscore) 650 CR, 660 math, 710 writing.
ACT: Just took for the first time in Sep, waiting for scores.
GPA & Class Rank: (This is where I really fall short)
UW - 3.07
W - 4.12
UF GPA - Don't know
CR: 330/1000
Service Hours: 284, pretty much all of them working with children.
Essay: I'd rate it an 8/10 in strength, I feel very confident with it.
I've taken AP Psych, AP Human Geo, AP Government / Economics, and AP European History. Other than that my courses have all been Honors. (Yes, I know, weak courseload) I'm applying with a Sociology major.</p>

<p>Any tips or advice?
Thanks so much.</p>

<p>GPA is a little weak. UF takes the best of your ACT and SAT scores. UF gives .5 boost to honors classes and 1 point boost to DE and AP/IB courses. I would say you have a good chance. We attended a session last year and they indicated that perfect grades and SAT scores didn’t guarantee getting in. Oh and be sure you edit your essay for grammar. Very important.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply, ACollegeDad, and yes - I’ll scrutinizing the essay until I send the application in :-)</p>
