Okay, so I need some reassurance… Has anyone gotten into fall/summer b with a low GPA (3.4-3.6 unweighted or 3.8-4.1 weighted), and a higher SAT score (1950-2050)?

I’m applying for Summer B, and I fear that at this rate, I may not even get in… I have a very strong schedule. I took 4 APs last year, and now, as a Senior, I have 7 AP classes. However, I got almost straight B’s last year and the year before, and I have one C on my transcript. But I have a 4.1 weighted GPA because of my tough course load, and my rank is in the top 8%. I’m an AP scholar with honors… I want to know if there is anyone who was in a similar or worse situation and got accepted?? I really want to go to this school… it’s my first choice, and I’m so worried. I feel like UF loves IB kids, but I’m an AP student… but if it helps at all, I’m hispanic… I’m just really scared, because I feel like UF stresses grades so much… And although I have the strength of schedule, it’s composed of all these B’s…
