What do you guys think my odds are? I checked to be considered for summer start in the hopes that it would increase my chances. I’m also applying to UF, FSU, USF and I think I’ll get into USF and FSU but UF will probably reject me.

Your GPA and ACT are above average for the university as a whole, and probably on par for engineering.

Will you be able to afford ~$47k/yr oos?

Yes, my dad works overseas as a contractor and makes around $100k a year with no living expenses. I discussed this with him and he said with his income and profits we will make from selling a house we should be fine.

You shouldn’t have any problem getting in, just make sure you can afford it.
