chances? please answer

<p>Ok I have all my requirements set, I have taken all the classes I need to take.</p>

<p>My SAT scores: 660 math, 540 CR, 560 writing</p>

<p>I have run cross country for 3 years and am now the captain of the team.</p>

<p>I have a little bit over 100 hours of community service.</p>

<p>However my problem is my GPA. my weighted is 3.48, unweighted is 2.75. ya im pretty ashamed of my unweighted.</p>

<p>I do specifically plan on applying to UF for the summer, not fall. As it does raise my chances of being accepted.</p>

<p>I do plan on retaking my SAT in october, and then sending UF my improved SAT score. however as of right now how are my chances looking, and if my chances are low, what type of SAT score should i plan on getting to be accepted into UTF</p>

<p>eh…try raising the SAT score… and take the ACT too. and take a very strong load of classes this year.</p>

<p>Well applying summer does not “necesarilly” raise your chances. If UF aceepts you, they place you where they want to place you. The term of entry you choose is jsut seen as a preference for them to know when you want to start.</p>

<p>Anyways, I would suggest retaking the SAT. Take the ACT as well. Get Baron’s to review for both, it is really good and prepping you.</p>

<p>and work hard on your application essay.</p>

<p>It won’t help you to end-load extra-currics. They will see you trying to boast your resume. Keep doing community service, take the ACT. I scored high on the ACT, lower on the SAT. It’s all a matter of how you test. Also, as gpowsang said, do amazing on your essay. If you really want to go to UF, your essay should reflect what you would gain from studying here. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>what everyone else said. i personally would look at UF as your reach school and get excited about a different school that you’re more likely to get into. your GPA is going to a be a major factor, and, in your case, its not really going to help.</p>

<p>i originally didnt think i was going to get in, and it was wonderful news when i did. if i had spent a lot of time worrying about getting accepted and didn’t, i’d have probably hated USF, which is the school i was expecting to end up going to.</p>

<p>heres this if you haven’t seen it already: [University</a> of Florida - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/ugrad/frprofile.html]University”>Freshman - How To Apply - University of Florida)</p>

<p>Not to burst your bubble or your hopes, but your gpa is going to be the deal breaker. I would also suggest that you look elsewhere. Not that you are out completely. Just trying to give you good advice.</p>

<p>Trust me once you get into whatever college you are accepted at? The next 4 years of your life will be the best. Whether it is as a Gator or somewhere else.</p>

<p>Do I have a chance to get into UF? PLEASE CHANCE ME! I want to go here so bad.</p>

<p>I respect your love for the gator nation, go gators, but please just make your own “Chance” thread and stop posting your stats in every thread. </p>

<p>With that said, you have a very, very decent chance of getting into the U of F. Please believe me when i say this! I know a lot of people who were accepted that had less credentials than you, a lot less. You have an insane amount of community involvement and your grades/coursework is good. Also, if i were you and still a junior, i would just be worrying about my SAT and ACT scores. You have everything needed subjectively, and if you have good scores then you have a very good chance at almost any schools. </p>

<p>You have a good chance! However, even if a thousand people tell you this i know for a fact you still will be worrying about your admissions decisions until that fateful day in february.</p>

<p>Haha, you are definently right about worrying! Thank you so much, SORRY ABOUT POSTING EVERYWHERE :] thanks for the input.</p>

<p>No Problemo, and i wish the best of luck in your admissions. I hope you do get in to the school of your choice, it’s an awesome feeling. </p>

<p>Go gators, blue and orange e’ery day</p>
