UF will require you enter your grades into SSAR (Student Self-Reported Academic Record):

UF will want your grades entered for each semester. But follow the rules below to determine which grades to enter.

Q: How do I enter my grades on the SSAR?
The SSAR format collects grades on a semester basis. Please refer to the following examples to guide your grade submission:

1. If your school only assigns semester grades, you will enter your semester grades as shown on your high school transcript into the appropriate places in the SSAR.
2. If your school only assigns a final grade for each class taken, you will enter the final grade twice (first semester and second semester) for year-long classes (one credit), and once (either first semester or second semester) for semester-long classes (1/2 credit). For example, if you earned a grade of B in Algebra I which is a year-long class (1 credit), you will enter that grade twice (first semester and second semester). If you took Trigonometry which is a semester-long class (1/2 credit), you will enter that grade only once in whichever semester you took the class.
3. If your school assigns both semester grades and a final grade, only use the final grade when entering your grades in the SSAR. For example, if you took Algebra I and earned an A in the first semester and a B in the second semester and your final grade is B, you will enter a grade of B twice (first semester and second semester) in the SSAR.
4. If your school assigns trimester grades and a final grade, only use the final grade, the same principle as in #3. If the class is a year-long class you will use the final grade and enter it twice in the SSAR. If the class is only for one trimester, enter the final grade on either the first or second semester field.

Also, my rank is just outside the top 25% for my unweighted GPA and just outside the top 15% for my weighted GPA. Is this important?

This is a bit complicated. UF wants to know how you did compared to your peers, so they do look at it (if provided). I believe rank is also entered into the SSAR. The more competitive the high school, the less important the ranking. Another way to look at it. At a less competitive, high school, UF may only be accepting students in the top 10%, while at some of Florida’s most competitive high schools, they may accept folks outside of the top 25%.

Good Luck!
