[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UF deserves the rankings rise, but it’s got a ways to go to be among the very elite public schools. It’s heading in the right direction for sure. I assume it’s just a matter of time before it overtakes UNC  and UVA to become the premier public school in the south. [/quote]

I think they are all pretty close, especially when all 6 are within 9 slots on the US News rankings (between 20-28). UF received 64,000 applications this year, up from 48,000 last year.  Assuming they accept 50% more than the 6,000 slots for freshman class, the acceptance hovers around 20%.  Defiantly a strong school, on the rise, with lots of interest.  [/quote]

There are over 35,000 undergraduates at UF. Your 6,000 slots is a lowball figure. [/quote]

From UF website:
“In 2020-21, we received a record number of nearly 53,000 applications for approximately 6,300 seats in the Class of 2025.”

If that is accurate, then UF is taking a huge number of transfers each year. Do the math.

+1 applications up over 20% from last year, but they didn’t add any more seats. 20% acceptance seems right.[/quote][/quote]

From the UF website:

“Just over 600 students were admitted into Innovation Academy, a program dedicated to those with a creative and innovative mindset. IA offers 29 majors and a spring-summer enrollment schedule that gives students the fall semester off for travel, internships, research and other adventures.

Approximately 3,600 students were accepted into the Pathway to Campus Enrollment (PaCE) program. Students accepted 
into PaCE are Gators from Day One and take part in a blended college career of both online and on-campus classes”

So in reality UF has over 10,000 freshman enrolled each year.  [/quote]

This is probably the main reason Florida has risen so much in the past few year.  They are using a similar formula that Columbia has used to climb the rankings.  Hiding a huge percentage of their matriculated students in “special” schools and colleges where they don’t have to report their freshman statistics.  USNWR, once again, falls for the scam. [/quote]

Pace is an online program, it shouldn't be included. Also, 3,600 were "accepted" into PACE. Many of those kids don't attend pace because they get accepted to other schools' in person programs. Also, the scam is the inflated SAT scores reported by test optional schools. Of course if everyone with low scores can just hide them by going test optional, the SAT scores will be skewed higher than if you have to report your scores as UF requires. UF has also has great job placement outcomes, which is important in our competitive environment. [/quote]

+100. The stats are based on 6,300 spots.  Doesn’t include online or other programs.  This is the Freshman class.  Too funny for those challenged with the idea that UF is a T25 school. Hahahah[/quote]
