w GPA: 4.2
UF GPA: 4.3
SAT: haven’t taken it yet, but aiming towards 2100 (planned to take it twice)</p>

  • Russ comitee (1 year)
  • U project (1year)
  • Revue comitee (2 years)</p>

  • JBD consult (2 years)

<p>I am hoping to major in Chemistry (pre-med)
The high school i attend is a advanced high school for people with better grades (if that helps)</p>

<p>My mom is an author so hopefully she will proofread my essay after i write it.</p>

<p>What do you think? :)</p>

<p>Does your father list Florida as his official residence and has he lived in the US for at least 5 yrs. during your lifetime? Have you researched to see if you meet the requirements for US citizenship? </p>

<p>ECmotherx2: He lived in Phoenix, but I’ve researched everything and I’m qualified ;)</p>

<p>If you are looking to major in chemistry, why don’t you have any chem EC or a chem SAT II? You don’t seem all that dedicated to that major. </p>

<p>I have a question for you though. What did you do to calculate your UF GPA? I am looking to apply there too and I’m not sure how to calculate mine.</p>

<p>UF doesn’t look at SAT II test scores. Chem EC’s are nice, but not a requirement. You get accepted to the University and not to your college/major, so major specific items are not required. In other words, during freshmen admissions, all students are in the same bucket and compared against each other. In fact, a leadership EC could be of more value than a Chem EC, due to the general method of admissions.</p>

<p>UF uses 9th through 11th grade classes (plus “advanced level” classes you may have taken in 8th grade, such as Algebra 1 being the most common). They only look at academic classes (no PE). They give +0.5 points for “honor” classes, and +1.0 points for AP/IB/AICE/DE classes. An honors (or “gifted”) English grade of a B, would be worth 3.5, while an AP Lit class B would be worth 4.0. </p>
