I’m a rising senior. I would like to apply to the University of Florida, I am not sure if my Stats, ECs and such are strong enough and I would like to know my chances.
SAT- 1940 (680 CR, 620 M, 640 W)
ACT- 29
U/W GPA 3.88
Weighted 4.4 (I believe I did this correctly, for UF’s recalculated one)
AP’s- as of now these are the courses I’ve taken. I’ve passed all the ones I have gotten results back for. The ones in parenthesis are my senior year schedule.
AP HUG
APUSH
AP Enviro
AP Capstone Seminar
AP Statistics (got a B)
AP Chemistry
AP Physics 1
(AP Physics 2)
(AP Physics C)
(AP Calc AB)
(AP Capstone Research)
For those who aren’t aware Capstone is a newer program by collegeboard which is suppose to stimulate college research paper level writing.
Clubs/EC- Student Government Association 9,10,11 - Crafts that Care 9 - JV Soccer 9,10 (quit health reasons), Club soccer all of childhood until 10/11- Beta Club 10, 11 - National Honor Society 10,11, 12- Literary Magazine 11, 12 (Associate Literary Editor 11, Literary Editor 12) - Varsity Track 9
Volunteering:

Hospital about 200 hours, various tasks 9, 10, 12
Leadership? Helped lead a summer soccer camp program for a week, worked with 6/7 year olds as a coach, 30 hours.
Work/Summer
In 9th grade I was accepted into Science Quest at UF, only 24 accepted. (and I know for a fact some weren’t, others applied at my school)
10,11 Internship at Solar Engineering Company 20-25 hours a week during summer. Worked to arrange arrays and do some basic math for the company.
Other- In capstone I am doing my research project on building a parabolic solar desalination machine which I am trying to make adjust to the time of day (get the best angle for sunlight)
I don’t think UF takes recs, but I could get fairly good ones from my boss and physics teacher. (Same one for all the courses).
I’m also thinking of applying to UVA, kind of a reach based upon my scores, and JHU.
Safety would be UCF and SF.
