@STEM2017 thank you! I personally have no updates I was just wondering for a friend or just in case.
@jamie912 You’re definitely a strong candidate, however, your test scores are really going to hurt you.
Do you think UF weighs tests scores heavily? Like do you think my other achievements can balance my application lol
@jamie912 50% is class rigor, GPA, and Test scores. Other 50% is leadership, EC’s, Job Experience, and Volunteer.
