Do I NEED 4 years of Math to get into UF?

[VeeThinks]

<p>If my SAT & ACT scores are pretty high would that be good enough?</p>

<p>As with anything, always check with directly with UF admissions before buying whatever we (on the internet) say!!</p>

<p>UF Admissions: (352) 392-1365</p>

<p>With that being said, yes, 4 years of Math is a minimum requirement:</p>

<p>

Minimum Admission Requirements</p>

<p>Graduation from a regionally accredited or state-approved secondary school or the equivalent (G.E.D., etc.).</p>

<p>Sixteen academic units, distributed as follows:
English (with substantial writing) - 4 years
Mathematics (Algebra 1, Formal Geometry, Algebra 2) - 4 years
Natural Sciences (two units must include laboratory) - 3 years
Social Sciences - 3 years
Foreign Language (must be sequential) - 2 years</p>

<p>A cumulative C average in the academic core, as computed by the university, at all institutions attended, including both high school and college
.
Students taking dual enrollment courses must present a minimum 2.0 GPA at every institution attended.</p>

<p>A record of good conduct. Major or continuing difficulty with school or other officials may render an applicant ineligible regardless of academic qualifications.</p>

<p>At least the minimum score in each section of the SAT: Critical Reading= 460, Mathematics=460 and Writing= 440. Effective with the 2009 entering class, the university will begin considering the writing portion of the SAT.</p>

<p>On the ACT with Writing, a minimum score of 19 on the Reading section, 19 on the Mathematics section, and 18 on the English/Writing section.</p>

<p>All applicants must submit the SAT or the ACT with Writing test. While UF cannot mix scores from old and new tests, the university will accept the highest subscores from the SAT if you took the test multiple times. The university cannot mix or combine any ACT subscores.

</p>

<p>I checked and FSU and UCF have the same math requirement (but the University of Alabama only requires 3 years, but they do give extra consideration to those that take 4). Admissions to UF is very competitive and almost all Florida high school graduates (that apply to UF) would have the 4 years of math.</p>

<p>Good Luck!!</p>

<p>I would recommend it too</p>

<p>do i have 5 years since i took algebra 1 in middle school?</p>

[Gator88NE]

<p>Yes, (unless it changed this year), UF did consider Algebra 1 if you took it in 8th grade.</p>
