Question: Can I get into UF Summer B?

My GPA is about 3.3 weighted, however, I have a 1390 on the SAT 740 Reading 650 Math, I'm retaking the SAT in October though so hopefully it'll up mine to 1400 and I got a 30 on the ACT.

I've taken Six AP courses so far (Freshman through Junior), plus three my senior year (nine total), all of the tests i've passed.

As far as extra curricular is concerned, i've been a Varsity member of my High School's debate program for fours years, I got fourth place in my homestate of Florida for Social Studies Academic Games earlier this year, I was a People to People Student Ambassador in 2003, and last year I did the Presidential Classroom Future World Leaders Summit.

What do you guys think? I'm sure it probably rests on my essay, any tips on the UF essay?

Answer: Sounds like you have a good background. I think you should have no problem getting into UF, Summer B session. For the essay, just emphasize your desire and enthusiasm for attending UF. Sometimes your sheer interest conveyed on papers speaks louder than facts and figures about your grades and accomplishments. Good luck!
