<p>I applied for Chemical Engineering, and a friend told me that it was harder to get into ChemE than my other choice (Biochemistry). Now I'm worried that my chances for UF aren't good.. I submitted my app yesterday, and here are my stats:</p>

<p>4.1 weighted
3.5 unweighted</p>

<p>SAT: 1980 (2040 super-scored)
ACT: 30</p>

<p>AP Scores: 3,3,3,4,4. I am withholding one of them..
SAT Subject test scores: 710 Chemistry and 660 Math II</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>a few officer positions
track and tennis (JV)
200 hours of community service</p>

<p>I'm Bolivian if that helps at all. </p>

<p>Is there any way that I can change my major after I send my app?? Or am I just over-reacting..? Please help.. I'm really nervous about getting in.</p>

<p>also I’m sorry I post a lot, I just really want to get into this school…</p>

<p>ufiscool I have one bit of advice for you.</p>

<p>Pack your bags and make sure to pack plenty of orage and blue. You will be a Gator. Your stats are perfect for UF.</p>

<p>So forget being nervous and concentrate on writting the essay of your life.</p>

<p>thank you so much. That really made me feel better. :slight_smile: I wrote my essay about seeing poverty in my home country, and how it inspired me to become a doctor. I hope UF likes it. I tried to put in as much as I can in under 500 words.</p>

<p>your major is not a factor in admissions. anyone who tells you otherwise is misinformed.</p>

<p>I’m hoping to get accepted too, but for sociology! let us know when you hear something! :slight_smile: goodluck!</p>

<p>Your major doesn’t count for admissions because that is after your first two years. If you don’t get in, then you must appeal, because your chances are literally 95%. Although your SATs aren’t perfect, UF is not even close to a perfect school. UF is not harvard, and its not even the top ranked school in Florida anymore.</p>

<p>indianaguy UF is not ranked higher because of budget cuts and reasons are not in their control.</p>

<p>but trust me ask any recruiter or headhunter where they recruit for their top positions and UF would be #1 all the time.</p>
