@Floridaboy954 I would bet that also includes PaCE and IA. If so, that a drop in acceptance rate from last year (same number of acceptances, but more applications).
The increase in apps must be from OOS students, I bet it’s our national championship Gymnastics team (national champs, 3 years in a row!) that’s creating the interest!
@Gator88NE - or maybe it’s the two years in a row National Championship Softball team? Lol Too many good things to choose from!
