Hi Djay,

UF looks like a low reach/high match. Your UF GPA is a bit low.

Middle 50% of the 2013 Class

High School GPA of 4.1 - 4.4
SAT of 1780-2020
ACT of 26 - 31

94%+ of the class had a GPA of 3.75 or greater.
97.6% of the class was in the top 25%.

UF uses holistic admissions, with 50% being academic (GPA/Class rigor/Test scores/essay), the other 50% is EC’s (volunteer work, leadership, work experience, clubs, etc). You EC’s also seem weak (since you only listed one).

You can apply to UF, since it never hurts ($30 application fee), but you should also be looking at Florida’s other public Universities. Several of them have very good CS programs. Other than UF and FSU, the other schools are on rolling admissions, so you could apply in September and be accepted by November. Some may even offer you merit scholarships.

Finally, UF takes in large number of transfer students. You can always go to school for 2 years at a CC or another public university and then transfer to UF. Then your HS GPA will not matter.

Good Luck!
