UF Applicants for Fall 2016 - Incoming Freshman

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Florida

I just thought it would be interesting to see the stats of those who have applied at UF for Fall 2016. Here is my daughter’s stats. UF is her dream school so it’s a reach!

My daughter submitted her UF application on October 16.

Her stats:
3.7666 Weighted GPA
Course: All Honors with a couple AP classes
ACT: 27
SAT: 1740
She has been on the school’s dance team for four years and a varsity member for the last three years.
Community Service Hours: 75 plus.

She wrote an essay
Major: Nursing - BSN to RN track

She did not score well on her AP exams taken her Junior year. She had two major surgeries during the last half of her Junior year and missed several weeks of school which caused her grades to drop from an A to an F. She focused on bringing her grades up instead of focusing on studying for the AP exams. Her goal, at that time, was to salvage her GPA and not worry about her loss of college credits. She ended her Junior year with five A’s and two B’s in two AP classes and five honors classes.

We are hoping she is accepted to UF but we are realistic and know that her chances of acceptance are unlikely. But there is always hope.

FYI: She has been accepted to the following schools:

Alabama with small scholarship offer
University of Alabama-Birmingham with scholarship offer and admittance into their Dean’s Nursing Scholar Program
FAU
Adventist University

And she also applied to UCF.

I worked at a private school, and as of yesterday, none of our students had heard from UCF yet and most of them exceed the scores. I did however, see today on FB that a friend of mine’s daughter got her letter today.

I have checked the application status every day twice a day for the last month and still haven’t heard anything. Applied the last week of September.

Good luck to you.
