Discussion of the University of West Florida's Admissions Standards:

For the class entering in 2014, the University of West Florida admitted about half of all applicants. Successful applicants will need grades and standardized test scores that are average or better. In the graph above, the blue and green data points represent students who were admitted.

Most had SAT scores (CR+M+W) of 1200 or higher, an ACT composite of 16 or higher, and a high school average of a "B-" or better. Grades, SAT scores and ACT scores above these lower ranges will improve your chances, and you can see that many students who attend UWF had grades in the "A" range. For the Fall 2014 freshman class, entering students had an average high school GPA of 3.59, ACT of 24, and SAT of 1530.

Note that there are a some red dots (rejected students) and a few yellow dots (waitlisted students) overlapping with the green and blue in the graph. This shows that some students with grades and test scores that were on target for the University of West Florida did not get get in. Note also that a few students were accepted with test scores and grades that were not up to par. This is because the University of West Florida's admissions process is at least partly holistic admissions. While grades and test scores are the most important part of an application, the University will look at optional materials such as a personal essay, extracurricular activities that demonstrate a special talent, and letters of recommendation.

Also, University of West Florida like most universities looks at the rigor of your high school courses, not just your grades.
