USF,UCF,FSU, and UF chances?

My record isn't spectacular, it's just a minimum, so I doubt I have chance at UF..I just wanted someone to tell me I don't have a chance so I can scratch that off my list and not have to worry about rushing some things (early deadline compared to others) but was also kind of wondering about the others?

3.77 UW GPA
100 hours community service
Clubs: FBLA, National Science Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, and Key Club member.

I took most honors courses throughout the years and I am taking AP Calculus, AP Biology, DE World Religions, and DE Composition 1, and econ honors. I am doing much better this senior year. The other 2 are electives.
I will retake the SAT again in November and the ACT in October and I am a science, math, computer type person. Some careers that interest me are accounting, pharmacy, digital design, physician assistant, or something in computers.

What do you think of the other universities like FAU, FIU, FGCU, UNF, UWF when it comes to those interests and rank?

Thank you very much

Last time was 1370. I was very nervous which made me slow that time. I was hoping to get a 1600. :/ I can't tell though.

If you don't do any better than your current 1370:

USF: Match since SAT is a little low but at 1600-1700 you should be fine
UCF: See above
FSU: Low reach (low match if you do better than 1600 next time around)
UF: Reach (match until you get 1800-ish)
FAU: Match (becomes a safety at 1600 if you maintain an UW GPA of 3.77)
FIU: See above
FGCU: Low match (if it becomes a safety, bless your ECs)
UNF: Match
UWF: Safety

If you say that you could get a 1600+ retaking the SAT, some matches become safeties, and reaches become matches. Because the SAT is a little weak.
