Uf chances...

I'm a Hispanic male and the first in my family to seek further education. I go to a private school in south FL but my ultimate goal is to go to college at UF. My only worry is my low ACT/SAT score. If I apply with my mediocre score in August, am I allowed to submit a better test score after the ACT test this September?

4.83/4.0 GPA
25 ACT
1740 SAT

4 on AP European History (Grade 10)
3 on AP Chemistry
4 on British Literature

Junior year:
precalculus honors
ap chem
ap brit lit
french DE
theology honors
US history honors

Senior year:
Calculus BC AP
Statistics honors/AP
Digital Design
Literature honors
Composition AP/American Gov AP
French AP

Perfect attendance
2 Academic Awards
3 Varsity Letters in Tennis

Extra-Curricular Activities
VP of key club
VP of mu alpha theta
Secretary of NHS
Model UN

Varsity tennis

235 service hours
volunteered at school, local hospital, library, and numerous fundraising events

Well written essay


So...as you can see, I'm only worried about my test scores...should i apply anyway with a 25 ACT and hope for the best? Or am I allowed to submit my application but then resend a better score later on in September? I would like to apply to UF ASAP. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance for your help

Just apply as soon as possible and then if you get a better score after you apply, send that and they will disregard your original score.

I got in with stats similar to that. I would try to bring up the test scores just to be safe though because, most likely, I barely got in.
