The OP might take a look at the following link which displays the acceptances and rejections for UF graphed by GPA and ACT test score. Applicants with GPA’s below an unweighted 3.5 had a very hard time getting accepted despite the strength of the ACT, while those with a GPA greater than 3.5 generally got in despite poor ACT scores.
If the OP spends some time searching for schools that give a preference to the ACT, I am sure they can find some.
