<p>I want to know if UF releases anything other than the first and third quartiles for test scores. I was just curious to know where my standardized test scores (SATs) fall in the incoming class.</p>
<p>It is also interesting to see how much more selective UF has become by looking at the info. for the past three years provided.</p>
<p>I mean like a table that says:</p>
<p>95th- 1500
90th-1480
85th- 1450
80th-1420
75th-1390</p>
<p>I doubt they publish such specific percentiles. </p>
<p>But I would guess your scores are in the top 5%.</p>
<p>Thanks Gator. Yeah, I didn't think so either, but it was worth a shot. Some of my friends were also wondering where they'd fall in the 6000 odd freshman entering the class lol.</p>
<p>wow, so 1/4 of the applicants qualify for honors program?? That's kinda odd cuz only a few hundred out of about 7k admitted go to the honors program. (4.0 gpa+ and 1400/33+)</p>
<p>You do the math.</p>
<p>1390 is the 75th percentile, 1400 is probably the 80th. So 20% of the students have the SAT qualification, that's about 1200 kids. Of those 1200 kids, probably 1000 have the GPA requirement. So about 1000 are qualified for honors.</p>
<p>1000/6000= 1/6= 16.7%</p>
<p>A lot choose not to go because they don't want the classes, don't want to go to Hume, or just don't want to be in it. They made it kind of a joke with lateral admissions...come on, a 3.5 GPA is not hard at all to attain.</p>
<p>1390 is the 75th percentile for admitted students (~10,300), not enrolled students (~6,600, I think). The common data set for the 2007 incoming freshman won't be published until August, which gives the SAT stats for the pool of enrolled freshmen.</p>
<p>For comparison, the 2006 incoming class also had a 1390 for admitted students, but only a 1360 for those who actually enrolled.</p>

<p>The drop in SAT for admitted students might be explained by students with very high SATs might have gotten into their dream school, and UF was just a fall-back school.</p>
<p>It is interesting that the number of applicants went up this year, yet the SAT stats for the admitted pool did not change from the prior year. You would think that with more to choose from, UF would select a better-qualified pool of admits. The Common Data Set should shed some light on this.</p>
<p>Yeah, that's pretty interesting. <a href="http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/ugrad/frprofile.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/ugrad/frprofile.html</a></p>
<p>That looks like what you are looking for...and the enrolled won't change much from the admitted. The 1390 should remain about the same.</p>
<p>If you know statistics, you might understand this. If you remove some of the higher scores which would be dragging the means up, the medians will remain largely unchanged. The medians are a resistant measure, which is why a lot of things are expressed in terms of medians, not means. So if you remove a few of the higher numbers, the median should still remain the same and the inter-quartile data would remain about the same.</p>
<p>And by the way, FLboy, a 1360 is not statistically different from a 1390, one could theoretically take the SAT after getting a 1360 and get between a 1300 and a 1420 and those score would not be statistically different from the 1360. For a 30 point drop to occur on a group of 6000 is a lot though. I doubt that will happen this year, but going from last year a 10-40 point drop would not be unusual.</p>
