Comments: Really hoping they like Dual Enrollment kids considering I veered away from my AP path and not only completed my AA degree (60 credits) by junior year but actually will be finishing 97 credits total and hopefully with a 4.0 too if I ace the rest of my Spring classes! I hope that my decision will shed some light on UF’s favor or disfavor towards dual enrolled students. Trying to help my younger brother decide between AP and DE currently.

what is the UF GPA and how do I calculate it

Calculate your GPA such as A=4 B=3 C=2 D=1 and for each AP class add 1.0 and for each honors class add .5 then add them up and divide by the number of classes. They ONLY look at Core Classes. @RedSox98

Also add 1.0 for each IB/AICE and Duel Enrollment class. Pre-IB/Pre-AICE are honor classes.

Consistently best avatar award goes to… @Gator88NE !

Question to anyone who can answer: If your schedule changes throughout your senior year, do you need to update this on the SSAR for UF to see?

@lmelen5184 You definitely need to update your SSAR. When you do that, the update will be sent to UF automatically.

If your final transcript differs from your SSAR, they have the right to rescind your acceptance.
