Admissions Chances

The University of North Florida, which accepts fewer than three-quarters of applicants, has a somewhat selective admissions process. If your SAT/ACT scores and GPA fall within the school's average ranges, you have a strong chance of being admitted. However, UNF also recalculates applicants' GPAs giving extra weight to college preparatory coursework including AP, IB, AICE, dual enrollment, and honors classes. Applicants are required to have four years of English and math, three years of natural science and social science, and two years of a single foreign language.

In the graph above, the blue and green dots represent accepted students, so you can see that successful applicants tended to have grades and test scores that were average or better. The great majority of accepted students had GPAs of 3.0 or better, ACT composite scores of 20 or higher, and a combined SAT score (ERW+M) of above 1000. The chances for admission improve if your grades and test scores are above these lower ranges, and many applicants have grades in the "A" range.
