<p>What is your overall weighted gpa (Freshman through Junior years), and is it calculated by UF methods? The current average gpa hovers around 4.1 or so, weighted. People do get in with lower gpa's, though, but it's tougher.</p>

<p>Legacy probably won't help much -- I know others with legacy who did not get in. If you could get higher SATs, that might offset the lower gpa. If you can get your CR/M up to 1400, you'll have a better chance, but still no guarantees.</p>

<p>It's worth a shot, though it is getting harder and harder to get in. Make sure you showcase the depth of your EC's. Good luck!</p>
