[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what I’m hearing, but I’m not sure if it’s wishful thinking or a real thing.

Any insight?

From what I’m seeing, plenty of northerners are flocking to southern schools—including SEC universities.

What are you seeing in the latest round of applications and admissions? [/quote]

[b]No I do not think there has been any drop off.[/b]  I would not expect one either.[/quote]

I think there has been a drop off. So now we have a sample size of 2.

What we need is ED/EA numbers for OOS students for this application cycle for various state schools.     Unless you have those, your thoughts are worthless. (As are mine).  You need hard data, not political wishes. In state kids are often limited by finances and need to use Bright Futures. And DeSantis has done a lot of damage in the last year. So the number you want is OOS applicants, this application cycle. Without that, it’s just guesswork. And most people guess based on their politics.

Now, colleges that have high/ growing  ED/ EA numbers tend to issue splashy press releases in time to get the attention of RD applicants. Top VA colleges did this before Christmas for this admission cycle ED/EA and reported big bumps— for example WM had a 45% increase over the last cycle plus the current cycle. If UF were doing well with OOS, there should be press release touting  “priority admission” numbers (they don’t ED and call EA priority admissions). If not, UF will stay quiet until they have to release the CDS numbers (if DeSantis lets them continue participate in CDS). UF’s most recent release that I saw (without digging too much, to be fair) noted a “slight increase” (their words) in applications number for the last cycle.  Given the huge increases for other decent state schools (UVA, WM, VT, UMD, Michigan, UCs— even Wisconsin, UC-Boulder, Purdue, Illinois- Bloomington), a “slight increase” last year, before things got really f—ked up with DeSntis and education, that’s not a great sign for them.

If someone has the UF priority admission numbers this year for OOS, please share. UF Priority app was due 11/1. So if the haven’t released a “more application!” Brag release, UF probably is taking a hit. [/quote]
