<p>Although your EC’s are very, very good, it is unlikely that you will be admitted to UF (unless you are a URM or first gen. in college). Your GPA and SAT’s are just too low for either term’s admissions. Last year one of my children was rejected from UF (and fully expected the rejection) with good EC’s and community service hours, 3.7 w/3.4 uw GPA (from a private prep school) in similar honor/AP classes to you, and an 1800 SAT (1140/1600). This year is going to be even tougher in admission!</p>

<p>Hi, you have fantastic leadership and model Un (UF loves both). My son’s friend who has learning disabilities wrote a letter (separate from his essay) about what he had gone through and included doctor’s documentation along with testing that he had. He sent this to the disability office and he was admitted for this past fall. Good luck.</p>
