wanna increase my chances

Applying to College
1

<p>I want to get accepted into the University of Florida. I'm only a sophomore now..I kinda messed up freshman year.</p>

<p>I was taking four honors classes in freshman year..I didn't do to well so my gpa was a 2.583 unweighted/3.250 weighted.</p>

<p>In sophomore year I only took one honors and one AP, but for the first two quarters I got 2 As and 4 Bs each quarter, which raised my gpa to 2.83/3.44. Then in the third quarter I got straight A's, and I have mostly As this quarter, so my gpa should be even higher when they calculate it again at the end of the year...</p>

<p>Next year I'm taking two Aps and three honors, and I've become a serious student again and hope to continue getting the grades I'm getting right now.</p>

<p>My PSAT scores were: 520 Math, 550 Reading, 650 Writing</p>

<p>I've only done 9 community service hours but I plan on doing more..</p>

<p>So what are my chances of getting in right now, and what can I do to improve those chances (As I'm sure they're not very high...)?</p>

<p>Community service doesn't matter for admissions, just for your getting the Bright Futures scholarship and merit aid like the Lombardi Scholarship.</p>

<p>UF admission is based on grades and SAT and state of residence (with Floridians having a major advantage). The higher you are able to get your gpa and scores, the greater will be your chances of admissions.</p>

<p>Oh okay. I'm trying to get my weighted gpa above a four..I just hope that's enough.</p>
