It pays to question them if you think your UF GPA is different than what they tell you. I had calculated my D’s at 3.97 which would round up to 4.0 and they calculated something between 3.9 and 3.94 that rounded to 3.9 because they round to the nearest tenth.
It turns out they had not included high school credits earned in middle school which were on the HS transcript and factored into the HS GPA. We provided our calculation, they double checked theirs, found it to be wrong, and fixed it on their end.

At UF, the GPA at 4.0 is much more highly regarded than 3.9, so this may have been what tipped her over to the accepted bunch.

Ask UF what they’ve calculated as your UF GPA and question them if you think yours is higher.
