You can still get into UF, but due to your freshman year, you have little room for error. You need to take honor/AP/AICE/IB courses and get by with almost all A’s to get your GPA back into range. However, don’t let the stress impact your health. It’s more important than your grades!

A large % of UF’s undergrads are transfer students. Even if you don’t get in as a freshman, UF can still be a possibility.

Also, keep an open mind when thinking about other schools. With UF’s holistic admissions, even those with good GPA’s/Test scores sometimes get denied, you should always have other options available.

Finally, keep in mind that UF, a large state school, may not be the best option for you. A smaller LAC may be a better fit, with smaller classes and more one-on-one interactions with your teachers. New College of Florida (NCF) is a great example and a great deal since it’s a public school.
