[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]

That's insane. For Florida. Hope he's going elsewhere!! [/quote]

We deployed the “cast a very wide net” strategy with him because his area of academic interest isn’t narrowly focused at just a limited number of schools only; and in fact, a majority of the Top 25 schools happen to appear on the list of Top 25 schools in that particular academic area.

UF also happens to be near the very top for doctoral programs in that particular area, so it made the list.

All of that said, there are also some concerns re: political interference at UF, so we’ll have to see how it shakes out.[/quote]
