<p>Floridadad… I think it is wrong to criticized based solely on numbers, especially if the OP had an honest and wonderful essay, which is very possible. 3.5-3.6 GPA is very good especially if the courses were pretty hard, and I would think that if the OP is a genuine, honest, passionate person then he/she deserves to go to the school just as much as anyone else who was admitted. I have a feeling that your S/D was rejected from UF which would explain your qualms. But to criticize a university and and applicant is extremely base and rude. Who are you to say the OP didn’t deserve it? </p>
<p>To the OP: you will always have doubts and people that doubt you, but push past it and you will come out much clearer and much happier. Congrats and good luck.</p>
