Comments:

UF8764, your test scores are a tad low, but you look very strong on course rigor and ECs. If you have a great essay I think you make it. (FSU is a safety so you applied late, or last minute? They are going to be very selective in their 2nd round of admissions!)

2abdc, I think you look pretty good too. If you’re doing pre-med remember you will be with a lot of highschool superstars if you make it into UF, and you need to get great grades. If engineering or another research field, UF of course is very strong with that, as I’m sure you know!

Good luck to you both.
