[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UNC has been on an upward trend for the last decade and I don’t expect that trend to reverse. Top notch academics, great athletics (University of National Champions), great college town and strong school spirit. Any student would be lucky to attend. [/quote]

Problem is UF is on a sharper upward trend and has UNC beat in every category you named except, arguably, college town. That's why so many kids from North Carolina are clamoring to get into UF OOS whereas two decades ago it was the opposite. Chomp chomp.[/quote]

UF has been rising in the rankings, but it has a much worse 4 year graduation rate than UNC and is 1.5x the size.  Only about 16% of the students at UF are OOS (matching the amount of applicants)--sort of surprising since it's fairly cheap for OOS. That might cause it to grow more, but it's kind of surprising to me that it's not more popular for OOS applicants.  UNC is far more selective in its OOS applicants, costs more and still gets a higher percentage of OOS students.  [/quote]
