Will I get in to UF?

Yes.  According to the admission requirements, you need at least a C average, which you are well above.

You also need a score of at least 950 on the critical reading and math sections of the new SAT with Writing test.  You need to have a minimum score of 440 on each.  This university will also consider the writing section on the test.

You should get into the University of Florida, but its not nearly as easy as rshaffer suggests. The average SAT score of students at UF is a 1295, they still don't weigh the writing sections very heavily. Your GPA is dependant on the scale, for instance my GPA out of high school was similar to yours out of a 4.6 and I got in. There are surely other factors as well such as volunteer work, involvement in extracurriculars, you state residency, and not to mention your essay.

Good luck with your application process.

I didn't say nor imply it was easy to get in.  I simply stated the requirements as posted on the University of Florida's website, so if it seems that it is easy to get in, then the University of Florida has made it that way. Avellin4299 has a strong GPA and decent SAT scores just below what rlendensky states is the UF average score.  So, I would keep your grades up, participate in activities, and be confident that you are a good candidate.
