Scholarship possibility

<p>I'm an out of state hs student looking at UF and my gpa is 93 and the first sat I took I got a 1770 do you think I have a good possibility of getting big scholarship?</p>

<p>Probably not, UF doesn’t hand out many merit scholarships. Try to bring up your GPA and SAT so that you are even accepted, then worry about the scholarships.</p>

<p>No… You wouldn’t even make it in with those stats for out of state, let alone get a scholarship. Can’t tell if ■■■■■ or not. But if not, sorry if that sounds harsh</p>

<p>No i am not trolling I know someone from my school who got a 1440 on the sat and is going to UF and on the college ******* UF website it says that the average sat’s score are 1170-1360. I guess i was too hasty in thinking that most people who go to UF have these scores. I am just beginning to research colleges and admission requirements. So can anyone tell me what a solid score is to get into UF? Also i’m all the honor societies in my school and have played varsity soccer all three years (i will be a senior next school year) and i do choral and am involved in the drama club do you think these activities will increase my chance considerably?</p>

<p>Did you score 1770 on an 1800 or 2400 point scale? Most people use the 2400 now, which could be causing some confusion. </p>

<p>What does a “93” equate to on a 4.0 scale? That’s what UF uses for GPA.</p>

<p>Either way, auburntigers22 is correct in saying that UF does not hand out a lot of merit based scholarships, even to people with really good stats. </p>

<p>I applied as a CC transfer with a perfect GPA and tons of campus involvement and community service and didn’t get squat from UF in institutional financial aid.</p>

<p>The scores on UF website are based on a 1600 point scale, and you’re are based on a 2400 scale, so you have low scores. If they improve you won’t be accepted.</p>

<p>My friend is salutatorian, 5.44 GPA, 2200-2300 SAT and got ZERO in scholarships from UF. I know someone that was rejected from UF with a 2070 SAT and 4.4 GPA.</p>

<p>Ya bro you’re looking at the wrong scales… Smh… 1700 out of 2400 is a whole Lot different than 1360 out of 1600</p>

<p>so i actually did get into UF and am now seriously considering it. can those who attend UF give me some insight on student life there? I feel like student life at UM would be better but i’m very interested in UF. it just seems so big</p>

<p>I’s start a new thread on this topic, or at least search for the subject. I’d expect student life has been discussed before.</p>
