Was the sub district co-chair officer and also the chapter reporter 2013-14
I am a first generation student & minority.</p>

<p>I have told many people this when they ask questions regarding scores and such and all they have asked in the end was "How did you not get it?"</p>

<p>Any tips or any form of aid in appealing this decision??
Many schools in my area are C,D, or F schools.
I do have to go a distance to get to school.
I live in a single income household.
I NEED ANY HELP PLEASE & THANK YOU!</p>

<p>Your SAT score is what probably killed you. Try to retake it. It’s below the average SAT scores.</p>

<p>Is this a joke? </p>

<p>You’ll need a reason to appeal. Some factor that UF wasn’t aware of and didn’t take into account. </p>

<p>Your EC’s are great, but your test scores are far below the UF average for admitted students. That can’t be the basis of your appeal.</p>

<p>You may also have not met UF’s minimum standards for admittance; take a look at how you scored in each section:</p>

<p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

Quite some interesting facts there…
The appeals processess is meant for individuals to make the admissions officers aware of any hardships causing your inability to perform at your maximal potential. That or if they missed anything and your application was incomplete I guess.</p>

<p>No offense, but your test scores were probably a turn off for them. I really doubt an appeal would turn to your favor, but if you want to proceed you could try.</p>
