I know this is an old thread but I just thought I’d ask. Why would outstanding stats like these not make you an absolute shoo-in? Am I missing something?

With the holistic admissions process that UF utilizes, academics (stats, GPA, scores, etc.) are only half of what is considered. Essays and other abstract aspects are equally weighted against the stats. Therefore, good stats don’t exactly equate to admissions, and a good essay itself also doesn’t equate to admissions. There has to be a balance. And since none of us know how this applicant comes across on paper in the essays and such, we can’t determine if they’re a shoe-in or not.
