I AM DOING REALLY GOOD IN SCHOOL, HAVE A HIGH GPA, IN A FEW EC’S, AND BELIEVE I AM A GREAT FIT FOR THE UNIVERSITY. FROM OTHER PEOPLE’S EXPERIENCES, I WANT TO KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET INTO UF, AND STUFF ABOUT THEIR APPLICATION (RESUMÉ, ESSAYS, ETC.)
don’t use all caps
Are you a FL resident? what year are you?
no, sophomore
You’re OOS and a high school sophomore?
Well, for now, don’t worry about it. Get the best grades you can. UF doesn’t have many OOS students.
Also…talk to your parents about how much they’ll pay for college. UF is expensive for an OOS student. If your parents won’t pay, then it won’t be affordable.
I agree - come back next year when you have 2 full years worth of grades and standardized test scores. And please don’t use all caps (it is the equivalent of shouting and there is no need to do so)
I’d also suggest that you google the University of Florida common data set to get an idea of the profile of acceptance applicants – as an OOS candidate you would probably need to be closer to the top of the averages.
And definitely run the Net Price Calculator and have that money talk with your parents to see if UF is a viable option.
