Give me a percentage of what you think the likelihood of me getting in will be, if you can. If I do get in, there's no chance of me getting any scholarships with my stats, right?

DNerd.. Here is a link posted by a CC poster. You may want to contact UF though for an update on National Achievement Scholarship.

National Merit Scholarships at UF

Thanks. I knew there was something for NAFs, but not the amount.

I think you have a pretty good shot. UF is trying really hard to increase diversity, so being a URM is to your advantage.

Merit scholarships are unlikely, but you qualify for 100% Bright Futures, so it will be a very good deal.

Being an URM, you have a good shot.

For all of you that want to make "Chance me" threads.

Cool, thanks guys!

Apparently UF does give some kind of scholarship for National Achievement Finalists, so I might get that on top of bright futures (if I do become a finalist).

I just hate the idea of loans altogether.. >_<
