No. Senior grades are not considered in the admission review process. What is considered is 9th through 11th final grades, SAT/ACT scores, EC’s awards, essay and other submissions if you have an unusual backround requiring additional explanation. UF does not permit teacher or counselor recommendation letters. The senior year grades only come into play if you are accepted and you submit your final transcript. They will match up your final transcript to the senior courses listed on your application, check for completion of courses and check to see that final grades are acceptable. Any grades below a C are not acceptable and will cause the admissions office to request an explanation of a drop in academic performance. If UF is not satisfied with the explanation they can revoke the acceptance as indicated in the letter of admission. UF with the extreme demand for the 6,300 freshman slots has become very serious about declines in academic performance during the senior year.
