Your academics are extremely low compared to the profile of an average student accepted last year (4.3-4.6 UF GPA, 1280+ SAT). That being said, I think your ECs are excellent (3 leadership positions), and that job experience and first-generation college may also help you.

I say UF is most definitely a reach due to your grades/test scores, but with holistic admissions, I think you still have a chance of getting in thanks to the other parts of your application being stellar.
