What are my chances for UF? I am out of state. My stats are good but my ECs are bad
act: 35
gpa: 3.9, 4.5 weighted
aps: taken 15 ap classes
awards: ap scholar, national merit, 2 outstanding student awards from school clubs
ecs: state qualifer for debate, math tutor, member of orchestra, camp counselor at a few summer camps, national honor society, did a few volunteering clubs but only for 9th and 10th grade, no officer positions
Thanks!
Are you a national merit finalist?
@twoinanddone would this student qualify for the Benicquisto Scholarship (and admission) to UF if he or she is a NM Finalist?
I am not sure yet
Yes, if a NMF, the benacquisto will be awarded. That doesn’t mean you get an automatic admission. Pretty good chance of being admitted, but not guaranteed.
The benacquisto is a state program, so the state has to fund it (yearly).
If you get NM scholar status which most finalists do, you would get a full ride plus from UF…assuming the state continues to fund the Benecquisto!
wow thanks for tellling me!!
