[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As estimated several times over the past two weeks, OOS acceptance rate comfortably below 10% …[/quote]

As calculated by you, it was 20 last cycle and likely the same this year.  Yield is always much lower for oos so they take more kids per slot than for instate at all state flagship.s[/quote]

The accept 15K for 6,500 slots. State law impacts OOS enrollment. There’s absolutely no shitty math you can muster to get the OOS acceptance rate above 10%. Sorry that upsets you.[/quote]

Cites please.[/quote]

I’ll add that my OOS kid (36 ACT one-and-done with a 36 in each section, 4.57 GPA at Top 50 public high high school in the U.S., 14 AP classes [with 10 AP tests already in the bag, all with scores of 5], 4-year varsity team sport captain [including state championship during sophomore year], with extensive volunteer and research experience in his area of academic interest, and compelling essays) was accepted by UF, but failed to gain acceptance into the honors college and without a single dime of merit.

It was competitive - very competitive.[/quote]

Is your DC going to attend UF? Was it their top choice?[/quote]

UF wasn’t his top choice, and he’s still awaiting admissions decisions from a lot of other schools (15+) - but a majority of those pending decisions will come from Top 25 schools, so we’re bracing for a bloodbath. Meanwhile, he’s interested enough in UF that he’s tagging along on a business trip to FLA later this month to check it out.[/quote]
