<p>Hopefully someone from UofF is on this forum? Or someone that knows the answer?</p>

<p>My son is applying to UF for Fall 2011 and we want to know how UF calculates the applicants GPA?</p>

<p>I have heard they only count core classes: math, science, english, foreign lanquages, and social studies?</p>

<p>I have also heard that they add an additional .5 for honors and 1 for AP classes.</p>

<p>Am I correct? is there a link to the UF site that outlines this procedure?</p>

<p>thanks in advance.</p>

<p>That is my understanding of how it works also. Try googling the title of the thread to find the link. I know there is an explanation somewhere on the UF site.</p>

<p>they also add .5 for anything pre-ib, pre-aice, etc.
and they add 1 point for IB/AP anything (including electives).</p>
