I think UF has so much pressure to accept its instate kids from a largely populated state.
The OP is from AL, so not only does he not add diversity (a border state), his own state has a modest population and NEEDS to attract more OOS students…which is why Bama is so much more diverse.
How much merit do you need? What do you need for your NET costs to be for a a school to be affordable? What will your parents pay each year?
You have free tuition at Bama. Few parents are willing to spend more just to have their child experience another state school.
