I mean, I have no reason to doubt them. They’ve got it figured out i’m sure.
Even the engineering - it may be open but perhaps for those who fall short is what they offer the Santa Fe option to.
It doesn’t look like they have secondary admissions either.
Nonetheless, the student is a bio major but it sounds like without a lot of rigor - so I’d say if the UF GPA is a 4.5, they’d be ok. Otherwise, unlikely. I’m guessing, based on how OP described, that it won’t be. But they can apply and see.
