<p>Well UF didn't when the national title until 3 months after the dead line. I'm glad the number is higher then first thought, this has been my dream school since I was 11.</p>

But in my defense, I read a number of articles stipulating that the Board of Governors was forcing UF to cut 4,000 undergraduates over the next 4 years. It seems odd that they would admit 10,000 students if they were in fact trying to cut the incoming class.

<p>SSobick, you are 100% correct with the stipulation. What happens if the acceptance yield for this incoming class is higher than expected? In some ways I think that is going to be a problem with funding at UF.</p>
<p>Heck ya it's going to be a problem. Freaking administration is acting like it's a candy store, and we are not gonna have the funding that Florida's best & brightest deserve. They better not use the endowment money to pay for them either.</p>
<p>SSobick,</p>
<p>How do you think UF will handle the problem?</p>
<p>I read in a thread for a different college (forget which one, actually might've been the 3.7+ GPA thread) that an admissions office was letting more in due to economy causing lower yield. However, I don't see that happening at UF with in-staters getting BF. Hopefully they don't accept fewer OOS kids :(</p>
<p>I bring up the higher than expected acceptance yield because of all the economic problems in the US. We could easily speculate more and more students will want to stay in-state.</p>
<p>They are not going to handle the problem. It's going to be one of those: "oops we overshot again". Last year the Board of Governors told them to cut undergraduate admission, and they came up with some lame excuse that admission letters had already been sent out to FTIC applicants, and transfers took the brunt of it (which I did not really have a problem with).</p>
<p>However UF Admissions has no excuses this year. If they overshot then it will be shame on them, and the UF Trustees should hold them accountable.</p>
<p>So it sounds like next year UF will be all but impossible to get into.</p>
<p>Well, we're assuming that the article is correct about UF sending out 10,000 acceptance letters. Since the offers haven't even been sent out yet, I doubt UF has mentioned how many they extended.</p>
<p>Any one else getting nervous?</p>
<p>I am probably going to upset some people here, but that has never stopped me before.</p>
<p>I honestly wish that UF had given offers to 9,200 students. Assuming a Yield Rate of 63% that would equate to about 5,800 student acutally enrolling. That would mean 800 less than last year (but it would leave room if more students come due to National Championship, the Bright Futures sham, and the lousy economy).</p>
<p>Then, and only then take less transfers to split the difference.</p>
<p>Maybe UF is thinking that the differential tuition would allow them to taken in more students?</p>
<p>guess its a good thing SSobick isn't involved in policy then. whimsical policy doesn't sound like a good idea.</p>

Why would you stay? This is a forum about getting into college. Once you're in, there really isn't much to say. I mean you can debate the merits of the schools you got in to, decry not getting in, or ask about student life, but there are much better places to do all of those things (Except the second one. You shouldn't do that anywhere).

<p>God forbid people stay on to CC to answer questions people the next year might have about the schools they went to.</p>

<p>I doubt that's the case with UF. Most something like 80% of people at UF have a state-sponsored scholarship of some kind. Most people only take out 10k in loans if that over all 4 years.</p>
<p>GT, i pointed that out in my next sentence lol.</p>

<p>UF had previously announced it was reducing students more via transfers/cc grads than FTIC freshman. So the fact that they are not cutting the numbers of freshman is not a complete surprise. I recall threads about the panic at the transfer level, as UF was going after transfers to reduce their numbers, while FSU did it via freshman admits.</p>
