Pace High School announced that 12 seniors of the Class of 2015 were accepted into the University of Florida (UF), with eight of those 12 students being Miami Lakes residents.
The students accepted include Matthew Arrojas, Courtney Diaz, Juana Diaz, Daniel A. Gonzalez, Eduardo Kuffo, Christian B. Roig, Adam Ruiz, Elexa Suarez, Kirstie Vargas, Steven Yildirim, Gabriel Sanchez, and Suzarah Dorleus.
These 12 exceptional students met and surpassed the GPA and standardized test requirements to be accepted into UF. Their potential enrollment in UF is buoyed by credits earned through Pace High’s dual-enrollment program with the University of Florida.
“These students have taken the most demanding curriculum we have to offer here at Pace from AP’s to dual enrollment courses, earning good grades and preparing for the SAT and or ACT,” said Pace college advisor Lilian Dubon. “They are involved on and off campus and are a true example of well roundedness. I’m so proud of our seniors.”
As the University of Florida sends their acceptance letters earlier than other Florida universities, there will be more announcements from Pace High regarding college acceptances in the near future. Pace will also be offering a college tour of Florida universities for its students in October 2015.
