All of those things that you mentioned. Plus, the OOS cost WITHOUT any scholarship was still the same cost as in-state for W&M and UVA. My kid did receive a small scholarship though, which made the cost less. My kid also wanted to get away from the DC and not go to the same school that many of their high school classmates are attending. The weather also helps. Also, it's kind of nice that in Florida, everyone looks so highly at UF. Some employers will only hire from UF v. other Florida schools. The prestige is definitely a real thing in Florida. Overall, UF is a very solid school. The only thing negative is that the dorms are terrible (compared to other schools).


What makes the dorms terrible?

Below are the estimates, based on data released by UF in previous Board of Trustees meetings …

41,500 FL applicants
32,300 OOS applicants

16,000 accepted applicants (all programs)

6,600 slots available (all programs)

13,000 FL accepted applicants x yield rate of 45% = 5,850 enrollments

3,000 OOS accepted applicants x yield rate of 25% = 750 enrollments (11.4% of overall)

16,000 / 74,800 = 21.4 overall accept rate

13,000 / 41,500 = 31.3% FL accept rate

3,000 / 32,300 = 9.3% OOS accept rate


These stats are so interesting to me. Unless they really don't care / don't want the OOS kids to enroll, you would think FL would figure out a better way to figure out OOS acceptances. I mean, they only accept 9.3%, but then 75% of those kids don't attend.

Even the PP who's kid has been accepted...it seems like it is unlikely they will actually attend based on the really high stats and other possible options.



I wouldn’t put too much stock into these numbers until pp explains where the yield percentages came from. I’ve already asked twice


If the best you've got is the 20% figure thrown around by admissions counseling sites and other online clickbait trash that cite data from who knows when (like College Transitions, etc.), please don't even bother to reply.

Either work through the calculus with the data that's rock solid for this admissions cycle and that's rock solid based on UF's historical admissions record, or save it.



If your info is so good, show us where it came from, specifically the yield rates. You refuse because you invented it.

Most of the dorms are kind of old and a lot of them have the "communal bathrooms." Still, the vast majority of the students get over any discomfort with the dorms pretty quickly. I wouldn't make the dorms the reason to not apply to UF.

I'm actually pretty excited that UF is putting in so much effort to move up in the rankings. Clearly, whatever they are doing has been working. It looks like the stats the of the students that got accepted this year are definitely more competitive than last year's class; and I thought that last year's were pretty strong.

DS rejected w 4.8, 33 as, lots of EC's. MCPS Luckily into UGA which he preferred and waiting on others


The average SAT score is higher than I expected given that it is not TO.


What counts is averaged of enrolled students. It will be substantially less.


That's correct. Since enrollment will be about 85-90% instate, the average score will go down much more.

So you have absolutely nothing other than clickbait trash that’s either questionable data from 5 years ago or entirely made up by a college admissions site. Cool. That’s what I figured.

20% 😂🤣😭

Where did you get the 20%?

Ok, but your kid was a student somewhere in the 99th percentile, whereas someone scoring a 33 on the ACT is in the 98th percentile.
