THANKS.</p>

<p>(BTW I'm in state)</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>you’ll definitely get in</p>

<p>Yes, you should definitely get in. I don’t know why everyone overestimates UF so much, but your grades are very high, your SAT is high in their range, and your EC’s seem to be pretty strong.</p>

<p>UF is one of the toughest schools in Florida to go to, but it still accepts 40% of applicants and has a 1140-1360 SAT range.</p>

<p>match .</p>

<p>thanks!!!</p>

<p>Florida is not that hard to get into in state which I think you are so you should be fine.</p>

<p>Honestly… UF is the typical over glorified flagship state university. Direct quote from my Ivy alumni interviewer I borrowed :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I’d give you a high chance of admission. Honestly UF is not hard to get into if you know the cookie cutter stats they are looking for.</p>

<p>Decent SAT… check
Decent GPA… check
AP courses… check (although a lot of applicants have more)
Leadership… check (UF LOVES SGA)
Laundry list EC’s… check
In state… check</p>

<p>Weird fact… Two of the past three Lombardi winners have been my high school’s SGA presidents. One was pretty solid in academics,average… and the other had average grades/ low to average sat.</p>
