I’m shaking. I’m so nervous. Out of state, 32 ACT, 3.78/4.0 gpa (4.05 weighted) i think my UF calculated gpa is around a 4.3 but i might have done it wrong. National honors society and spanish honors society member, captain of the lacrosse team, 2 years on field hockey, 2 years on varsity cross country. coding club member and feminism club member, 2 jobs outside of school. volunteer work at a senior living center for 3 months and founder of a charity. I’m seriously going to throw up. Someone chance me
good luck everyone! we got this!!
ufgogators2323 You seem really solid for UF. Good luck and let us know the results!
Thanks! He’s a hard working young man. He wants to study Environmental Engineering and his entire academic portfolio is shaped towards those ends. His sister goes to MIT (graduates in June) and he’s done his best to emulate her academically. His approach was to match her academic rigor and demonstrate success at a higher level of learning. We hope it works.
@ufgogators2323 I like your chances, too.
My daughter is at school and she is sick she is so nervous. She’s been wearing all her gator gear every day for the past 3 weeks. Pretty sure she is the only one from her school who applied to UF (we are in NJ).all her classes know how much she wants this and they are all rooting for her. This day is dragging!!
@gold523 we are rooting for her also!

Rooting for all of you who await the 6:00 hour! My kid doesn’t have to stress until this time next year, but I am on here to see the stats, which are very helpful. Thank you to all that post their stats. Secondly, just wanted to throw in there that if you are not selected, please know that it is in no way the end of the world! I have yet to see anyone who didn’t get in post anything about how unhappy they are where they ended up, or still hurting about it. Everything will work out, and as said many times before here, we all end up where we are supposed to be. Cliche, I know, but true. Keep your heads up! You are all very smart, important people to this world!
I’m definitely more nervous than my daughter. Hoping to leave work in time so I can be home when she opens her decision. Hopefully we will celebrate together! I don’t know how I’ll hold my emotions in if it’s not the decision we’re hoping for. Good luck to everyone! Go Gators
Can you all please chance me?

RBH1991 I would vote yes on your student! UFgogators2323, I think you have a decent shot too. But as with all things UF, “You Never Know.”
@florida19 I think you have a good chance, though the bubble lurks. UF GPA can be roughly estimated as halfway between your weighted and unweighted. So right around 4.0 would be the guesstimate. If that’s the case, it’s low for UF, but you have good rigor and a great test score. Hopefully you have some leadership experience to tout and wrote a great essay. Good luck. Let us know what happens!
Thanks! At this point, we’re praying (a lot!), hoping and trying to generate as much positive energy all the way through this stressful day!
BE COOL, YOU all deserve the best. Whatever happens(positive or negative), let it happen, it is only GOOD for U. :)] ^:)^
Thanks @prouddad2020 good luck to everyone!!
My S has an unweighted GPA of about 3.7, weighted around 4.0. a low freshman year but has been solid since, close to a 4.0. Great ECs, a lot of AP’s and honors, 1500 SAT, OOS. Hoping that the high SAT makes up for the lower GPA today. Accepted at Tulane with a nice scholarship.
I heard that if your son or daughter has high test scores but applied to a lot of out of state schools that they have lower chances of getting in. My D has a 35 ACT and a 5.1 GPA, but applied to many schools out of state (we are from Florida). Will this hurt her chances?
UF application status portal changed when you login. some information on the site is now gone. did everyone see the same change?
@goneers237 No. How would UF know what other schools your daughter applied to?
