The truth about getting into UF?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I've heard both good and bad stories about UF admissions. I want to know what my chances are. Preferably from alumnae or recently accepted students! I have a fairly decent GPA: 3.3, before I say anything else, I just wanted to mention that during my sophomore year, I got a very severe concussion and was out of school for three months. (I had to teach myself all the material for my second semester, I was put on Hospital Homebound) So, my GPA could've been a lot better than it is now. Anyway, I'm taking dual enrollment/early college classes at Seminole State College. All of my classes are at Seminole State and I will finish the year out with 24 credit hours. My ACT is average: 23, and for my SAT I have a 1500. I have over 100 volunteer hours and have a plethora of extracurricular activities: Lacrosse, Rowing, Interact Club, VBS, Church Choir, 2 Mission Trips, etc.. I have won awards and certifications such as: Citizenship Award, Florida's Ready to Work Certification, Everfi Financial Literacy Certification.</p>

<p>I also applied for the Summer Term (B) and I am a legacy. My grandfather and mother went there. My grandfather was also a personal trainer for the football team in the sixties and seventies. (I don't know if that will help but it was worth mentioning)</p>

<p>Please let me know your opinions!

<p>UF uses a holistic admission process, so it’s hard to nail down anyone chances, since it’s such a subjective process.</p>

<p>50% is GPA (must important to UF)/Test/Rigor.
50% is EC’s/Leadership/Essay</p>

<p>Legacy is used by UF, but it’s given very little weight. </p>

<p>Below is a link to UF’s 2013 Freshman profile:</p>

<p>[University</a> of Florida - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/ugrad/frprofile.html]University”>Freshman - How To Apply - University of Florida)</p>

<p>If you’re below the middle 50%, then you’ll need strong EC’s to have a decent chance, otherwise UF is a reach.</p>

<p>Middle 50% of the Class</p>

<p>High School GPA of 4.1 - 4.4 (UF’s Weighted GPA)
SAT of 1780-2020
ACT of 26 - 31</p>
