[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UF is only to go up in rankings. Best public school in one of the fastest growing, largest states. Very affordable. It’s in the high twenties now, could see it reach equal status as Berkeley/UCLA/Michigan/UVA/UNC as a top public.[/quote]

DS junior is interested in UF and we toured it while in FL visiting DH’s family.  While our son would be thrilled to go there and the school seemed nice I didn’t find the tour very compelling.  The student who led our tour group was from MD/MCPS and told us when we chatted after the tour that she was far more prepared/advanced compared to her native Fl classmates who made up the majority of her cohorts.  Came away with the impression that it’s a really good state flagship but don’t see the point from an education perspective if you can get into VT.  Maybe it’s excellent for certain fields but the tour was all about touting their selectivity for accepted students and not about the education you receive or opportunities related to it.  All this to say, rankings and acceptance rates are just a piece of info.[/quote]

Areas like MD/MCPS are ultra competitive and send better kids to lower schools. So they will generally feel better prepared [/quote]

It is more challenging to be in a higher level peer group. [/quote]
