University of Florida - who’s in and major / stats?

[Anonymous]

#173 at QS World University rankings. Not close to elite.

I’m a UF alumni and very surprised by the comments about how highly ranked it is. I graduated in early 2000s and while I lived the school there was a lot of stuff that surprised me academically. I was able to satisfy my science requirements by taking a course called “insects” and another called “dinosaurs”. And the professor used the same test every semester and it was online. We would literally all gather in our sorority house and take the tests as a group. Massive cheating going on. I hope that’s changed.

UF is a good school to put on a list.
However the ranking is not everything.

My kid got into UF but chose a private school ranked #49.
Both OOS.

Not a gator as I couldn’t get in. Forbes has it T25, #28 USNWR. Getting into anything in T30 on USNWR is incredible these days. It’s not your grandparents admissions process…

And let’s not forget it’s one of the few schools rapidly ascending! Wasn’t a T50 a decade ago. #19 public 5 years ago…good momentum, one of the Best kept Secrets, and best values.

Hard to get much higher for UF. Too many heavy hitters in the way.

Yeah, if UC-B can’t break T20, then we are just splitting hairs. All these schools are highly competitive!!

That’s the point. UCB is far superior academically to UF. Universities should be ranked in tiers and not in ordinals. Berkeley is easily 4-5 tiers higher than Florida. Gator fans actually think that being 28 is as good as being 23. In reality, there is no comparison. The academics don’t stand up.

It’s improved, but it’s not elite as compared to the other top publics.. Not even close.

My DC is having an amazing freshman year at UF right now. Congratulations to all the new UF admits. Go Gators!

Yeah that likely hasn’t changed there or anywhere. Kids are cheating everywhere nowadays. UF has really come along, so ride your alma maters coat tails. You bought low and are selling high, my friend. Sad that most of us wouldn’t get in to UF or the other top schools these days. Even Auburn had record breaking numbers…craziness. Congrats to those who made it

Too funny…Alabama fan or a T100 grad??

This is on you. Why would you take a dumb ass class like that?
I’m sure they have more rigorous science classes that you could have chosen instead

😂 “4-5 tiers”. We are talking about schools #1-28 in the entire universe of 3200 schools in US. 4-5 tiers??? Ha ha

The university offered it for graduation credit and satisfy a science requirement. So it’s fair game. But things have changes a lot in the last 20 years. Florida has become one of the better public universities.

Ok you got me. I’d put Florida in tier 6. Only 4 tiers behind UCB.
