<p>@dabigdawg72:
you misunderstood the comparison.</p>
<p>We do not know what the Enrolled statistics will be. But we do know for sure that UF had an amazing bump in numbers over last year. This is coming despite the state economy and the added tuition differential charges.</p>
<p>However I think alot of this has to do with UF being ranked the 2nd best value in all of higher-education.</p>
<p>Oh by the way we are also the overwhelming favorite to repeat as D1 Football National Champions.</p>
<p>3rd GPA rung
2nd SAT rung</p>
<p>no idea for SoS.</p>
<p>OOS</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>tebow is a god</p>
<p>of the 12 or so people at my school that were accepted to UF, only 2 of us had a 29 or higher ACT score.</p>
<p>^ I think UF is getting most of its high stats students from Broward County.</p>
<p>Miami Dade and Palm Beach Counties also have some of the strongest students in the state.</p>
<p>The rural areas have easier standards.</p>
<p>The ENROLLED numbers for 2008 are:</p>
<p>SAT Admitted: 1305
SAT Enrolled: 1270 (1160-1380)</p>
<p>I’m guessing the enrolled numbers for 2009 will be ~30 points SAT to 1300 and 1 point ACT to 29. In 2009, the accepted SAT average on a 1600 scale is ~1335. Maintaing the same 35 point spread between admitted and enrolled from 2008, the average enrolled SAT score should break the 1300 mark. </p>
<p>This, in my opinion lends the UF student body among the lower level of “Elite” and superior to the student bodies of the schools ranked around UF by USNEWS. Then again, I feel UF is underranked by at least 15 slots.</p>
<p>^ I agree</p>
<p>Our Peer Assessment Score should be higher. We have spent billions to build up our research facilities over the last decade.</p>
<p>I think UF should be up there with UIUC and the University of Wisconsin.</p>
<p>The new National Research Council (NRC) study is completed.</p>
<p>There is a direct correlation between your NRC score and your Peer Assessment score.
This report ranks graduate programs.</p>

<p>The report is however stuck in its last phase right now. Should have been out in 2005.</p>
<p>[Assessment</a> of Research-Doctorate Programs](<a href=“Policy and Global Affairs at the National Academies”>http://sites.nationalacademies.org/pga/Resdoc/index.htm)</p>
<p>You can see the 1995 rankings at that site.
All of the monies invested by UF in research will show up there.
Eventually!</p>
<p>Peer Assessment is a joke as evidenced by the Clemson debacle (errr - debate) going on right now.</p>
<p>Check articles in Inside Higher Ed</p>

<p>That’s the way to up your school’s peer assessment! Game the system by ranking everyone, even Harvard, below yours!!</p>
<p>I believe that UF gets a bad rap for its Peer Assessment Score because it is located below the Mason Dixon Line. These old dinosaur administrators have no idea how far the south has developed. They still believe that the Midwest, the Northeast, and California are the only places that can produe tangible research.</p>
<p>Can’t wait for the 2010 Census to come out!</p>
<p>The ironic part is that Florida isn’t even southern anymore (and yet we still take it in the shorts because of our past).</p>
<p>Great article ag.
The blueprint has been set by Auburn for UF to rise amongst the publics!</p>
<p>They seem to have hit on all the low hanging fruit that USNWR has left out there;
Peer Assesment, Faculty Salary, Class Size, Top 10%,Faculty Ratio, etc.</p>
<p>I especially loved this quote:
"We have walked the fine line between illegal, unethical, and really interesting.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Perhaps to an extent, but I believe it has more to do with Florida public schools performing extremely poorly and most of the student body being comprised of Florida students.</p>
<p>The median SAT for all graduating Florida seniors is only a 990.</p>
<p>Whereas the median SAT for the University of Florida is well over 1,300 this year.</p>
<p>If anything our Peer Assessment Score should get high marks for being so much better than the Florida median.</p>
<p>“The blueprint has been set by Auburn for UF to rise amongst the publics!”</p>
<p>Did you actually mean Clemson?</p>
<p>Yup, Clemson.
Have no idea where I got Auburn from other than I hate Auburn more than Clemson.
Speaking football of course.</p>
<p>Well I think we do not have to follow Clemson’s path. The University of Florida is damn strong in research and our graduate programs are some of the top in the South East.</p>
<p>The writing section is useless. It means absolutely nothing. Your writing should be portrayed best in your college essays. I got a 790 on the writing section. But it means absolute ****… How can you expect someone to write something of high quality in 25 minutes? The writing section is basically something for someone to brag about if they didn’t do as well in the 2 most important sections (math and CR)…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You, like many others, are confusing the writing MC section with the essay section. They’re very different. I agree that the essay is pretty much useless, but the writing MC section tests grammar. I’m amazed that so many people have trouble writing sentences with proper grammar.</p>
