<p>only UF rejects go to FSU
FSU doesn’t have much of a reputation outside FL, but UF does garner some respect (academically) outside FL</p>
<p>Lol. Not in my time.</p>
<p>UF rejects go to Santa Fe College (or another community college). They finish an AA and then transfer to UF and graduate via the backdoor. Something like 2000-3000 students transfer over to UF via an AA every year.</p>
<p>Despite this, I have encountered many Sante Fe-to-UF grads who love to refer to students of other Florida schools as “UF Rejects.” Since the average GPA of an accepted FSU freshman is a 4.0, I suspect many of these proud “Gators” would have been FSU-rejects. And, probably UCF and USF rejects, too.</p>
<p>@SweetheartCroc- You hit the nail on the head! There is no shame in going to community college and graduate via the backdoor. In fact, kudos to those who stick to their plan and finish their education. However, you are correct. These same people get an attitude and call other people “rejects.” </p>
<p>On a separate note- are freshman living on campus allowed to have cars at FSU?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Sorry Sweetheartcroc but your information is incorrect. According to Princeton review the average accepted gpa at FSU is 3.85 vs the UF average of 4.2. It’s established fact that UF rejects students with 4.0 every year and so it’s unlikely that the Santa Fe students who transfer to UF are FSU rejects. It’s just that they would rather spend two years at cc and transfer, than settle for another state school. ;)</p>
<p>Look at the SAT 25th, 75th and class rank. Colleges tinker with the GPA. Some re-calculate their own GPA, some don’t consider 9th grade. Some post unweighted GPA on the common data set whereas some post the weighted GPA.</p>
<p>The UF fans need to get over it. Both FSU and UF were declared “preeminent universities” by the Florida Board of Governors and the Florida Legislature.</p>
<p>Please move on…</p>
<p>Just curious- how is UF’s Computer science program. I googled it and apparently they made cuts or something to it last year?</p>
<p>In response to the above, I will cross-post from another thread:</p>
<p>The issue was that UF was maintaining TWO computer science programs….one in the college of engineering and one in the college of liberal arts and science. While that distinction has merit at the undergraduate level, it is not meaningful for advanced degree programs and research; hence there was redundancy between the programs at the advanced level. Originally, to eliminate this inefficiency, the graduate programs and research in computer science was going to be consolidated within the college of engineering (undergrad degrees in computer science within CLAS would remain). There was such an outcry within CLAS, however, that the program was re-thought and is now defined as a multi-disciplinary program between the two colleges at both the undergrad and graduate level. There was never any danger of UF eliminating computer science as has been reported in the media. It was only a question of where the program would be centralized.</p>

</p>
<p>LOL; just curious parent2noles…are you on the payroll at FSU or do you actually do this on your own time?</p>
<p>Please try not to take the UF/FSU rivalry so seriously; you’ll live longer ;)</p>
<p>Really? I’m am pretty old now. All the monies exchanged between me and FSU are and have for decades been from me to them. They don’t pay for a single byte. ;)</p>
<p>Great idea, however.</p>
<p>Which one is more redneck? Not the town. I mean student body. I would prefer to stay away from a redneck school. I like diversity in my friends. UCF has the diversity but doesn’t have a college town feel. I don’t want to hang around only white people. I also don’t want to hang around only black people. Which one is more redneck and which one is more diverse?</p>
<p>Bumping old threads will make Albert and Alberta cry a single tear… :)</p>
<p>Neither school can be described as “redneck”. UCF is a very diverse campus, but so are UF and FSU.</p>
<p>-----------% white—%URM (AA/Black and Hispanic)
UCF --------59%--------30%
FSU---------67%--------25%
UF-----------58%--------26%</p>
<p>What about % redneck?</p>
<p>…I joke. :p</p>
