Congrats - forgot about UF but it’s a Top 5 public university, ranked with UCLA, UC Berkeley, Michigan, UVA, and UNC (tied).[/quote]

It’s ranked #5 for public schools.   But the 5th ranked public isn’t in the same league as the top three. This isn’t HYPSM.  Berkeley, Michigan and  UCLA are in a league of their own.  Then comes UVA, UNC, UF.

UF is a US News #28 overall for publics and privates..  UCLA is #20, Berkeley is #22, Michigan is #23, UVA #25, UNC #28 (tied)[/quote]

Almost 150,000 to ULA  and over 130,000 to Berkeley. Your alma mater has about 85,000 this year. These numbers are crazy!

Yup. And they had over 60,000 applications this year. My son just got accepted as well, and is super excited to attend (over my alma mater Michigan).  Big 3, 3.9 uw, 34 ACT[/quote][/quote]

And Florida required test scores, so the 64,000 that applied had to fall within a certain range or they were wasting their time.  The other schools were optional, which means more pie-in-the-sky hopes and dreams were shattered.  UF likely had a very strong applicant class as a result, especially for out of staters.[/quote]

85% of UF students are instate. Florida, as a state overall, does not have very good public school systems.  So the strength of the applicant class is severely skewed toward instate residents. [/quote]
