<p>I think UF got rid of early action. Check it out just in case I’m wrong. It’s usually not good when your math score is the lowest; that’s just the world we live in. </p>

<p>According to CC: Univ Florida avg GPA- 3.69 avg SAT- 1865
Try to bring up the math score, but it’s def a match</p>

<p>You should definitely list the TaeKwonDo if you have done it during high school (which you apparently have). Also, try to figure out your UF weighted GPA (on a 5.0 scale).</p>

<p>Sorry mathsciencedude, do you know how one could calculate the UF weighted GPA?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Add one point for ap and .5 for honors. Plus, you should disregard non-academic classes like philosophy, art, history, and music. </p>

<p>…</p>

<p>jk about those classes being non-academic.</p>

<p>Hmm so am I supposed to add that to unweighted GPA? All my classes have been IB, AP or honors so would my weighted GPA be that high?</p>

<p>Thanks, sorry Im bad at this :(</p>

<p>I think it gets worked out like this: take a class, say algebra 1, and convert the grade to GPA points 0-4.0; then, if you got a C or higher add 1.0 point for IB or AP and 0.5 for just Honors; multiply by number of credits; and do this for all your academic classes and divide by the total number of credits.</p>

<p>Someone correct me if I’m wrong.</p>
