we have 9 days left… im screaming
I think we have to login
Hey everyone! I have a question about the UF GPA. I’m from Jamaica and we don’t have AP, Honors, IB or anything like that at my school. Also, I don’t know anything about weighted or unweighted GPA. So, how would I calculate my UF GPA??
Date Applied: October 30th
Unweighted GPA: 4
Weighted GPA: 4.39
UF GPA (If you calculated it):

Comments: transferred from a small private school to a huge public school between sophomore and junior year, maxed GPA at old school, went from #1 to 80th percentile as my old school only had 2 honors classes available through sophomore year. Really hoping my class rank doesn’t hurt me too much, explained it to them in my application though. I’ve heard they’re really inconsistent with who they accept. Anyone have a prediction for me?

Comments: I’m average in their grand scheme of things, and I’m so nervous I could die.
@idkwhattodo999 If you don’t have AP or honors I suspect your GPA is easy to calculate because there are no adjustments (4.0 is an A). Straight from website:
**How will UF compute my high school GPA? **
The Office of Admissions recomputes the high school GPA for every freshman applicant.
Our admissions officers use the high school transcript provided to our office, and the grading scale included on that transcript.
Only academic subjects are used in the calculation — English, math, social sciences, sciences and foreign languages (freshmen are required to have successfully completed 2 consecutive units of a foreign language).
Additional weight is added in the calculation to any courses that are Honors, Dual-Enrollment, AICE, Advanced Placement, or International Baccalaureate.
@idkwhattodo999 UF will not hold it against you if your school doesn’t offer honor or advance classes. That will take that into consideration when reviewing your GPA.
Good Luck all!
ONE WEEK! 
ONE WEEK 
I talked to my school counselor today, and they told me that UF compares the students from the same school, meaning that the applicants are not “compared” to the other applicants from different schools 
hope that made sense.
@citygator @Gator88NE thanks for the help!
One week from now we’ll all be extremely happy or extremely sad. Hopefully the former

Comments: also took 4 dual enrollment classes: Sociology, public speaking, intro to religion, and Statistics. Got A’s on all of them. Also, i felt fairly confident on my essay.
could anyone experienced with UF please chance me? This next week will be a crazy one for me
Does anyone know if your senior year classes/grades get factored into your weighted GPA? Also would a current 4.2 weighted gpa be competitive along with a 1950 sat? Also Does UF consider that your weighted gpa over your last 2 years of highschool is signifcantly higher?
@BOBROSS senior grades don’t count. The average range is, I believe, either 4.1-4.4 or 4.1-4.5 so you’re in the 50% range for gpa and your sat is very close to the middle range.
Quick question/comment! If anyone here applied to FSU and got their decision back in December, there were some people who could see on their application portal that their applicaton read as “appladmit”. Has anyone had a similar outcome with UF?
Did everyone get today’s email?
My daughter got the email today. It’s like trying to read tea leaves “Is that a good sign?”. When my daughter was waiting for another college’s nursing decision, they preceded the decision with an email saying “Feel free to tweet the decision”, which made me think {rightly so in this case) that she was definitely accepted.
After seeing all these stats I feel like there’s no way i’m gonna get in. wGpa: 3.72 ; ACT: 34; lots of extracurriculars; pretty good essay. Kinda odd because the naviance for my school showed that a 3.7 was the average for people accepted into UF from my school. Really hoping I get in, one of my top choices! Good Luck Everyone!!!
just a few more days… good luck everyone
Got the email, but I know some sure shot “Denied” kids that did too. Good luck everyone!! I’m nervous as can be! X_X
