What are my chances of getting into UF?
ACT: 25
GPA: 3.92 (weighted)
Many AP/DE
Varisty cheer captain, Jv cheer captain, student council representative for 3 years and treasurer for 1. NHS member, NEHS member, SNHS member, FBLA member, Ecology club member, FCA member, Interact member. Part time job 12-20 hours a week.
Also, my older sister graduated from UF for undergrad and masters.
GPA is not too bad, however your act may not cut it. Are you in-state?
Do you live in Florida? If so, you’ve got a good shot. If not, it’s a stretch but not completely unrealistic.
Your GPA might be too low. The 25th percentile of the students admitted have a recalculated weighted GPA of 4.1, and most of the people admitted to UF are within the 1340+ range.
Sorry, meant to say that they were within the 1340 range for the SAT. I’m not sure for ACT, though, but I’m sure it’s a higher than 25 since a 1340 on the SAT is about the same as a 28.
The Act says 27-31 @sushipanda
I am in state.
@JPGator98 Ah, thanks. I just knew that it was above 25 for sure, but even 27 is still 25th percentile.
Thirdcollege, I think your ACT needs to be a couple points higher to give you a realistic shot. However your ECs look really good! Hopefully you have some backup schools ready, maybe FGCU, or FAU?
I think it will be a stretch, though I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you.
I knew a family where one kid got into UF and one didn’t (and had decent stats though I don’t know how they compared to the older sibling’s stats). The parents weren’t too happy at first but it all worked out.
Wishing you the best.
Could someone chance me? UF is my #1 school… definite reach

Wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until end of sophomore year– that’s why my grades were so bad (counselor says so in rec)-- this means I could not get into an AP or Honors course at my school

Field hockey or ice hockey? Female field hockey players are common, ice hockey, not so much. That could be intriguing, if that’s the case! Your scores are decent, GPA could be a stumbling block.
I’m going to say I like your chances IF you’re an ice hockey player. If field hockey, then less so.
I know that sounds a little crazy, but there it is.
Good luck!
@Trisherella Ice hockey! Crazy about our hockey in MI
