Comments:

@bassclarinet98 Are you asking how to calculate UF’s GPA? It’s on a 4 point scale, but UF awards an extra +0.5 points for honor classes, and an extra 1.0 points for AP/IB/AICE/DE classes. They typically use Semester grades. Only use academic classes

For example:
Junior Year: Fall/Spring
AP Chem: B/B = 3 (for the B) +1 (for AP)/3+1 = 8 points
AP US History: A/B = 4 (for the A) +1 (AP)/3+1 = 9 points
Honors Eng: B/A = 3 (for the B) + 0.5 (Honors)/ 4 +0.5 = 8 points
Standard Spanish: B/B = 3 (for the B)/3 =6 points
PE: A/A = Not an academic class, it’s not included

(8+9+8+6) divided by 8(the number of semesters, note that we’re not including the semesters in PE) = 3.875 UF GPA

Hope this helps!

hey! does anyone know what time decisions will be released on feb 12th?

Hey guys and gals…
I am an indian(international) applicant and I missed the priority deadline.
My stats are 1920 SAT(760 m, 560 r, 600w) Subject tests-800m2 and 730 p

11th-98
12th-88

How much will applying late hurt?
And am I still good in the race?

.<<<<<<>>>>>.

@dirtysprite2 yes!

Really? that would be awesome if so. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you hear that we do? @gatorgal1331

I heard that UF barely gave any aid unless your income was like 40k> . I know bright futures covers “most” of it(even though its been getting lower and lower) but still money for room and board would be nice from UF

@CCSenioritis aww man if that’s true that makes me sad :frowning: welp! time to keep on my scholarship application process XDDD hopefully ill can get some from the one’s i did

there’s only a few weeks left… best of luck to all :slight_smile: we’ve got this!!!

I’m sooo nervous :frowning: My SAT is above the honors college average (2130) but my UF GPA is around a 3.75. I think my essay & extracurriculars are good and I have legacy with my sister, but I’m out of state. UF is my dream school, if I don’t get in I don’t know what I’ll do.

Comments: I feel so hopeless compared to everyone else here with such high GPA. test scores, and extra curriculars. Anyone think I might have a chance?

Shouldn’t we wait to start an “official” UF class of 2020 list? Wouldn’t it be more helpful to post the ones that were ACCEPTED?

Florida
Male
Fall

@hallieg8tor Last years thread started in December for just questions and getting excited prior to admissions. There was specifically a lot of chatter right before admission day which was a source of information for people with Gatorlink questions, etc…. and it helped them feel connected. It was also good form of communication for those accepted or rejected to not feel alone in the whole process which can be overwhelming for some. It is called “Applicant” and Decision Thread.
