@jamie912 Hi I was just wondering how you got USF’s $16,000 Director’s scholarship because they’re requirement for that scholarship is: 4.0+ academic core and 29 ACT/1360 SAT.
Syydneyo98, I think you’re a definite for UCF and I think your chances are very good for UF. Your ECs are very strong. (Is UVA your other top choice? or maybe UCLA?)
Lolabrio, your stats are on the low side with GPA/test scores. Keep your fingers crossed, but also be looking at your backup options in case it doesn’t work out. UCF seems like a great option as a possibility.
Not to be rude but, Isn’t UF very holistic? I think everyone on here has a chance! I don’t think there’s such a thing as too “low” since people who had lower scores have been accepted in the past.
Syydney098, we just visited UVA last summer (dropped my son off for a golf camp). It is absolutely beautiful, located in a great college town. (small city actually) You will have a tough choice to make when it’s time to decide where you’re going!

Naninani, congrats on the stellar grades. The test scores are going to be tough to overcome however. I think you’re a long shot for UF, same with University of Miami. Brown, Yale, well unless you have a hook I have my doubts there. I think Flagler is a Yes. Congrats on the acceptances you already have. My son visited both UF and FSU and actually thought the FSU visit was more impressive. He’s planning on going back to both (along with a few other schools) for accepted students days. (if he gets into UF that is!)
MomofAlex looks very strong for UF.
Good luck to all, you never know if you don’t apply!

I don’t know if is any of this makes a difference, but my essay was about my potential burnout or just loss of motivation during junior year. I tried my best to really convey the emotions I felt at the time (I’m a perfectionist). I’m also Hispanic and have tutored other students in math. I have never gotten a B. I’ve been tops since I had a GPA, even though I probably will end up as salutatorian, but hey they don’t know have to know that yet… Through NTHS, I assisted with the food pantry we have for students of families in transition. I showed interest on Cappex in September LOL. That test score is the redesigned SAT by the way, which you guys probably already know… I’m just so obsessed with this school lolololol I need to seek help
