Answer 1

It's a toss up. It depends on the application pool that applies when you do. UF is putting a freeze on the number of freshmen that they allow in due to overcrowding and budget cuts. Your chances on getting in are even worse if you come from a poor or working class family since they are cutting a lot of grants and finance aid to cover the costs of UF's debt and budget cuts. It costs UF more money to accept a poor or working class student than a student from a richer family. That and students with rich parents can donate more to the university and they are in the midst of a large donation campaign. Of course, most of that money will not go to students or undergrads. Most of it will go to UF administrators and research departments.

From UF's website: Entering 2005 Freshman class had an average 4.06 GPA and 1306 SAT score

Answer 2

I dont answer these, but I clicked on your question out of curiousity and was apalled at the responses you got. I think you are in fine shape. Clearly you have a good shot. I have substantial experience in admissions process. I assume that you are Latina given your participation in Aspira and that is very positive. Your activities are solid and although you are in the middle to bottom of the pack academically they help pull you out. You could take the SAT again. Whoever told you UF is looking for 1300 on the SAT is crazy. You need to make sure that your essay is pointed, reveals what you can contribute that others can not, and draws the admission's board. you can do this!

Answer 3

If you are not a Florida resident -- then I think you have no shot at all.

If you are a Florida resident -- it doesn't look much better, but you do have a chance. The average HS GPA of those accepted is 3.80 and 75% of those accepted have a SAT score of 1140 or higher (with the average being about 1300).

Answer 4

properly i might say la first because of the fact UCLA is a hundred cases extra suited college than UOF (Gainesville) in terms of risk-free practices la isn't all that undesirable... undesirable components of la:(they are seen the main threatening yet they at the instant are not undesirable in case you do no longer hassle every person) -Compton -la downtown section -East la -South la -Inglewood risk-free components: -captivating Malibu -Beverly Hills -Paulos Verdes Estates -Torrance -Hollywood and human beings in California tend to be the nicest in all of u . s .

Answer 5

You would NOT be accepted due to the fact that you are a over achiever.

Answer 6

If you play football, you're a sinch to get in.
