@Trisherella I am only posting this as when I have read these strings over the months I always wanted to know how they ended. With the 4.21 Florida WGPA and 1370 SAT my S got accepted to UF Fall. I really think it was that essay and ECs (HOURS of theatre). I thought he could have had more “leadership”, quite frankly. Using that last free form answer box, my S tried to tied lead roles and the responsibility to leadership. You never quite know what “did it”. Again, just posting this because my son’s stats are in the lower 25% and want to give people hope. UNIQUE Essay is critical.
