Chances of UF based on GPA alone.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I understand that I am going to need ECs and Volunteer work and I have that. This is just based on GPA alone and nothing else. I am currently a Junior and I just wanted some advice. My current GPA is about 3.2 unweighted and 4 weighted. I understand this is low, but I am in Dual Enrollment. All the high school classes I take are honors! All of them! If they aren't honors then they are taken at the College since our high school is a little bigger than a double-wide and sits on a college campus. I heard UF adds 1 point for AP or college level courses and .5 for honors. Do you think this will help my GPA a lot or a little. Keep in mind I have been taking honors/College level courses since 9th grade. Thank you in advance!!</p>

<p>Just making sure you know, the UF admissions office says that they admit people based on holisitic admissions, which is 50% extracurriculars/community service/etc. and 50% grades/testscores. Now your say your weighted GPA is 4.0 weighted, they will recalculate it taking only the academic courses in the process so your UF gpa will be <4.0. This isn’t great since only 27.7 of kids with a gpa of 3.7-3.99 get accepted. BUT you are most likely on the high end and if your a well rounded student then you have a shot. Also, good test scores help. Best of luck, WE FIND OUT FRIDAY!!!</p>

<p>I’m in the same boat as you! I have a 3.3 GPA unweighted and 5.8 weighted (top 5%) and getting my AA from taking dual enrollment courses. I’m not sure where I stand, but I get in! Good luck you guys!</p>

<p>I’m a junior…I am not yet applying to UF! I am also getting my AA which is good! Just found my report card and found that my unweighted GPA is not a 3.2 but a 3.39…thats a little better seeing that its close to a 3.4 which is an A- and my weighted in a 4.2 now as of the end of last semester. I don’t really agree with my UF GPA being lower than a 4 since all APs are 1 point and Honors are .5. All classes were passed. None were failed. I had a C in like 2 honors and 1 College course ( all history…my worst subject) :confused: #MATHANDSCIENCEGEEK!</p>
