<p>As far as I know, I think the SAT requirement for getting into UF is a 2070. However, I also heard that you still have to maintain a 1400 on the CR/M. Is this true?</p>

<p>Also, would any1 mind chancing me. 2070 on SAT
4.4 Weighted, maybe 4.6 after 1st semester
13 AP classes
200 Volunteer hours (150 Hospital + 50 Math tutoring)
VP Math Club
National Honor Society
1st Place Chess team southwest regionals (Represented school)
PSAT Quarterfinalist (Idk if i will be a semifinalist)</p>

<p>I forgot to add that I am Asian and am ranked in the top 2%.</p>

<p>In my opinion you have an excellent chance, but you know UF.</p>

5

<p>You don’t need a 1400 on the CR/M. Just get a 2070 and you’re good to go.</p>

6

<p>Ok thanks for replying. Did anyone who was accepted into the Honors program not have a 1400 on CR/M? This would basically end this dispute completely.</p>

<p>You are fine for UF, but unless you are a Merit finalist, I doubt you will get accepted into honors. The only people who got accepted from the class at my school last year were MF’s or had SAT’s 2100+.</p>

<p>Barely hitting the minimum and being an over-represent minority isn’t going in your favor. Definitely retake SAT’s of you want honors.</p>

<p>Actually, Asians only constitute 7% of all students in UF. I wouldn’t consider that to be a over-represented.</p>

9

<p>That is for overall university admission, not the honors program.</p>

10

<p>Just write a good entrance essay for the honors program and see. Really the honors program isn’t everything, it was kind of a tangent for myself, so if you don’t get in you can still do really well for yourself.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, that would be me ;)</p>

<p>A friend told me that kids that meet the requirements for Honors either get accepted to UF Honors or rejected from not just Honors but standard UF. That’s not true, right?</p>

13

<p>It is partially true. If your stats are superb, admission officers might see that you are using UF as a backup and simply refuse you admission to make room for someone who is sincerely interested in the school.</p>

That’s called Tuft’s Syndrome, which schools apply to increase their yield rate. Since UF has one of the highest yield rates among public institutions, and likes to increase the GPA and SAT stats of admitted students by accepting academically exceptional students, any talk of over-qualified students being rejected is unsubstantiated and laughably anecdotal.</p>

<p>Here is this years honors decisions for some perspective.</p>

<p>A 2200 SAT was outright rejected.</p>
