| I'm curious as to how popular University of Florida is from the DC area. |

| On my kid's school scattergram, a decent # of kids from her public high school applied (showing 101 applications). |

Though the 101 applications would be the combined total from the past few years (and would only those reported the information). |

| I'm a bit surprised that so many kids from one high school in Fairfax County applied to University of Florida given how anti-Florida so many people in this area are. I guess there is no denying that UF is an awesome school! |

| Also, around here everyone is hyper focused on ranking and UF did rise (and I think ranked close to UVA via USNews) but not as difficult to get in as UVA. |

It's ranked highly, and political views are easily discarded when prestige is on the line. |

| I'm wonder if it is easier or harder to get in if OOS. I know that the percent accepted is a lot lower than in-state, but I am wondering if it's because far fewer people from OOS would apply compared to in-state applicants. |

| Has anyone actually had their kid attend UF? If so, what was your experience like? |

| Not many from our large FCPS high school. I don't know how to separate year by year data on Naviance, but over past 3 years under 30 total. About 1/3 were accepted it looks like. Don't know if any actually enrolled. |

| UF admissions seem so unpredictable. At our school, there are kids with a 1390 who got accepted and then others with at 1510 get rejected. I have heard that they put a lot of emphasis on essays other institutional priorities like first gen. |

| 19 at a public where 60-100 apply to many of the big state schools (Boulder, Pitt, UMD, UVM, UVA, Michigan, Penn State). |
