<p>I'm only ending my sophomore year but I just want to get a general idea.</p>

<p>I have a 4.56 GPA so far. </p>

<p>My schedule for next year is:</p>

<p>1.AP US History
2.AP Chemistry
3.AP Spanish
4.Trigonometry/Analytical Geometry
5.Physics 1 Honors
6.English 1 Honors
7.Advanced Health/Tennis</p>

<p>I have taken all honors academics so far. I haven't gotten a B since high school. However I did get a B in Algebra 1 and Physical Science Honors in middle school. I'm on the academic team and robotics team at my school and am involved in many clubs. </p>

<p>What should be an optimal score I should receive on the SAT?
What are my chances of getting into UF so far?</p>

<p>Chances seem pretty good. Nevertheless it is difficult to give a balanced viewpoint without test scores.</p>

<p>What did you get on your PSAT?</p>

<p>Optimal SAT Scores would be over 1350, but with that gpa a 1300 would probably make it.</p>

<p>Quit worrying; keep studying.</p>

<p>Sophomore year is way to early to start worrying about college.</p>

<p>^this 10 char</p>

<p>There’s no telling with UF Admissions. Just do what the representatives tell you (academics&extracurricular), and hope for the best. So far your stats look good, obtain leadership roles if you do not already have them. Try to at least meet the middle 50% average SAT score; someone said not to worry about college so early, but it is not worrying, it’s searching. And its best that you start now so you can be totally prepared when you apply in july-nov. good luck and enjoy your high school years.</p>

<p>Do what the representatives tell me? What representatives?</p>

6

<p>Admission Officers. Have you taken a tour yet? Or been invited to any programs designated at UF?</p>

7

<p>Get a 2400 on the SAT. You should get in with that.</p>

8

<p>you’ll get accepted provided you get a decent SAT or ACT score</p>

9

<p>^it will give him a decent shot, but it wont GIVE him the admission</p>

10

<p>No, I haven’t.</p>

11

<p>dont worry about college till beginning senior year and enjoy your high school. before you know it it will be gone and youll wish you had more fun</p>

12

<p>Not necessarily! A Friend’s daughter did not get into UF with a perfect SAT this year!! She did get into Columbia and MIT, LOL!</p>

<p>Tufts Syndrome</p>

<p>^that</p>

<p>10 char</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>puhleaseee, it would be quite a feat to not get in.</p>

<p>99% chance</p>

16

<p>^trust me. ive seen kids with as stellar stats as these not get in</p>

<p>thers no such thing as a lock anymore</p>

17

<p>well then they must have had something else going against them</p>

<p>because i know plenty of kids with poor stats get in, and they really had nothing, and i mean nothing, going for them.</p>

18

<p>there are a few reasons why some “stellar” applicants may not have gotten in:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>not well-rounded enough</p></li>
<li><p>TUFTS</p></li>
</ol>

<p>On the other hand, I am probably one of those people “with poor stats” that got in. (3.3-3.4 UF GPA, 1200/1810 SAT, 26 ACT)</p>

<p>you know, SOMETHING got them in . for me, I personally think it was my essay. I wrote of my missionary trip to Peru. I never really spoke of it in school though, so perhaps those people that you cant believe got in had something going for them, even if you didnt know about it.</p>

<p>im not trying to flame you or start a fight or anything, im just saying…</p>

<p>whats tufts</p>

<p>Tufts Syndrome is an expression that implies a student was rejected because he was “overqualified” and likely wasn’t going to attend the university and was using as a safety school.</p>

<p>This is because the university wants to protect its yield rate.</p>
