[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On college confidential, several people mentioned getting into Michigan but not UF.  UF is definitely becoming more selective. [/quote]

UF is known for being quirky with oos admissions, it often doesn’t take the highest stat students.[/quote]

Regardless the method of selection, OOS acceptance rate appears to be at or below 10% this admissions cycle.[/quote]

Do you know if UF published that information?  I was really curious about getting the information on this cycle's admits.  [/quote]

I'm unaware whether it has already been officially published, but estimates I've been able to work out using the priority admissions data from their Dec. 2023 disclosure suggest that the likelihood that the OOS acceptance count exceeded 2,900 is low. At that point, the acceptance rate would fall below 10%.

Expected would be some ED dropouts from the OOS pool who notified UF that they were no longer to be considered for admission, but I would expect that count to be lower than the non-priority applications received from OOS applicants after 11/1/2023. Everything considered, it looking like the OOS acceptance rate is going to land around that 10% level.[/quote]

This seems unlikely as last year’s oos acceptance rate was 20 percent.  You probably aren’t accounting for the fact that they accept way more students than actually enroll. So if they enroll 2900 oos students, they likely are admitting at least twice that assuming an oos yield of 50 percent, which is probably too generous.[/quote]

UF had approx. 29,000 OOS priority applicants (i.e., applicants who submitted their application by the Nov. 2023 deadline) when they reported on the admissions cycle in December 2023, and approx. 38,000 in-state applicants at that same time. That jives with their disclosed total of 67,784 applicants at that time.

They accept around 15,000 applicants each year. Check the historical CDS details if you care to nail down the exact number.

Therefore, even if you assume that the ED candidates who were accepted elsewhere (and who then withdrew their UF application) are at the same level of the number of applications that were received after the priority deadline (they aren't even close, but let's say they are to establish a worst case scenario), the acceptance rate would seem to land around 22% this admissions cycle. In reality, the denominator is probably going to land at or above 70,000 this year, resulting in an effective acceptance rate of approx. 21.4% ...

Meanwhile, UF has some flexibility to enroll more than 10% of an incoming class from OOS, but not enough to get that OOS acceptance rate up to 20%. If they did, they would be accepting at least 5,800 OS applicants. And if they convert only 25% of those 5,800 acceptances into admissions, that would translate into 22% OOS enrollment. Maybe they can get away with that, but I doubt it.[/quote]

That actually sounds about right for oos yield.[/quote]
