[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never a hard admit. Now easier. Most intelligent kids prefer to go to schools in states where alternative facts are shunned and true science and reason reign. [/quote]

I know! Why would you want to go to school where you can’t get an abortion while waiting in line at Chipotle?[/quote]

UF is very difficult to get into.  Look at this year's stats. [/quote]

Record number of applications and less than 10% OOS acceptance rate, yet people are screaming “The sky is Falling!” at the top of their lungs.[/quote]

[b]Where are people getting this 10% OOS figure?[/b] [/quote]

From their ass. And now some actual data for you people to thing about. From googling, only 3% of the entire undergraduate student body is out of state. That means roughly 1000 students are out of state compared with a total of 33,628 students. You are surrounded by an unimpressive in-state student body where the acceptance rate is 60%. If you're an above average student, why would you want to apply out of state to UF? Your academic peers will be a tiny, tiny group.

Type of school:	Public, Research
Size of undergraduate student body:	33,628
Percent out-of-state:	3%
Percent international:	1.14%
Female to Male ratio:	55:45[/quote]

Wrong!  There were over 60k who applied (probably close to 67k) and about 15k accepted (between both in state and out of state).  Vast majority are from Florida - the competition amongst Floridians is fierce.  A lot of kids with very high stats (1500+ and 4.4+) who got rejected.  It was even more difficult for in-staters and many are thinking that the OOS acceptance rate is close to 8-9%.  Last year was also super competitive - but this year even more.  [b]You are probably looking at figures from 20/30 years ago.  [/quote][/b]

No, this is very recent data. But I shouldn't be surprised that a UF booster would lack reading comprehension and analytical skills. [/quote]
