Applying to College

Im looking to go to the university of florida and im currently a florida resident. I’m white, highest tax bracket, 4.0UW gpa, 8APs completed so far, and I’ll list some EC’s below.

-Job 10th-12th grade
^ management position -11th-12th
-Officer position in 3 clubs 11-12th
-Shadowed Dentists and Doctors
-Volunteered as a counselor for neurodivergent children
-Volunteered at a hospital
-Received scholarship and leadership awards from a school board diversity group
-Received AP Capstone Diploma 11th grade

For my senior year schedule I have 2 options:

First option:
AP Calc BC
AP Physics 1
Accounting (have to take)

This will give me flexibility to take an online AP or another dual enroll class related to my major

OR
Second Option:
AP Human Geography
Student Aide
AP Calc BC
AP Physics 1
Accounting (have to take)

I’m also going to be taking college level English and government dual enrolled at a local college.

Any schedule advice is appreciated, thanks!!

What do you want to study in college? What sciences, math, foreign language, and social sciences have you already completed?

Hi! I want to study Nutritional Science on a pre-dental track. My main stem courses I’ve taken are the following:

AP environmental science
Honors Biology (rlly bad+hard AP teacher)
Chemistry Honors
AP Chemistry
Geometry Honors,
Alg 2 honors
AP-Pre Calc
APUSH
AP Seminar/Research

Do you want to take Human Geography? Its considered an AP “light”. Take what you prefer, not what you think will “look good”. What would your responsibilities be as a student aide?

5

How many years of foreign language and social sciences?

These are the minimum requirements for UF from their website:

Applicants need 16 academic units, including 4 years of English (with substantial writing), 4 years of mathematics (at or above Algebra 1 level), 3 years of natural sciences (including 2 lab units), 3 years of social sciences, and 2 years of a foreign language.

So will you have fulfilled all of these requirements?

Other schools may want more foreign language. What other schools are you interested in?

For option 1, what do you mean by online AP?
My personal opinion is than an online AP class isn’t helpful for admissions, so I’d vote for option 2. But there are some unanswered questions.

I’m not necessarily interested in it, I just wanted my elective as an AP and that was the only other one available.

7

What other classes (not necessarily AP) do you have available?

8

I’ve taken all+more of each required credit needed for UF. I took 2 years of ASL but ASL 3 wasn’t available until only this year when it came out. I’m unsure what other schools I should apply to aside from UF and FSU + other FL public schools. In terms of “online AP” I’m referring to the FLVS online catalog in which they have many AP courses available(scroll for AP): High School Courses

9

Not many besides what I’ve listed: AP Human Geo or being an office aide, however I didn’t ask because I’m trying to get the most rigors course load and none of the the non AP courses peak my interest enough to consider them over AP.

In this case you should do a match me and include your test score and budget. Florida kids obviously go inexpensively with Brught Futures. Even without but budget may not be a concern for your family.

If you don’t have 3 Social Sciences then you need to take Human Geography. If Govt is #3, it’s ok then but Human Geo won’t hurt. Many take in 9th grade. And it will potentially get you college credit.

Just don’t overload. You need time to do your apps.
