I'm also from FL so maybe I can give you a better idea. UF is a pretty good school, it is also very big so I get the idea you will need to be self disciplined enough to get all your work done and "party" at the same time. Obviously if you have done well in high school you should pretty much have that part down. I would say the best thing you can do is work on what you know your weakness is. If you don't like english get a hold of a suggested list of reading for college students. If you don't like math / science try picking up some science magazines that way you can absorb the scientific information, but in your prefered format (english). I'm from south florida and a private school, even though I don't take FCAT all of my friends in public school hate them and say the system doesn't really work. If most of your classes focus only on FCAT stuff I would go to your teachers and address them with your concerns, maybe they could give you an outline of all that stuff they "would have loved to cover in class, but ran out of time for." UF admissions have been getting harder over the years, many B+ average students from my school got denied this year, most got killed by not studying for SAT's; so congrats on getting in.
