<p>I am currently a junior and would like to know what type of a shot I have at uf:</p>
<p>around 3.8/4.0 GPA with .5 given to AP classes and .25 for honors</p>
<p>700 verbal
660 math
610 writin
9 essay
sports editor of paper
6 varisty letters
any help would be really appreciated thanks so much!</p>
<p>you’ll get in.</p>
<p>I would say 50% at best.</p>
<p>UF is currently in a budget crisis, making admission standards as high as ever, especially for OOS applicants.</p>
<p>OOS admission is getting extremely difficult because they only admit a small percentage from OOS. It is becoming like UNC Chapel Hill, albeit not to the same degree.</p>
<p>But still, I have seen many with stats like yours rejected. I would advice getting your Writing score up and calculating your UF GPA. Rigor of schedule is heavily weighted. UF admissions can tell the difference between a 3.8 with all CP course and a 3.8 with all AP.</p>
<p>How many AP’s and what scores would give us a better estimation.</p>
<p>In state I think you would be in easy. OOS can be tricky.</p>
<p>OOS is getting extremely hard</p>
<p>class rank?</p>
<p>You would think that with a budget crisis a school would want MORE oos as they are paying full fair.</p>
<p>Does U of F have a OOS percentage they need to shoot for?</p>
<p>I believe only 5% of those who commit to UF are OOS.</p>
<p>That means at best those who are accepted hover around 6-8%</p>
<p>Same situation as UNC or the UC’s</p>
<p>OOS is more difficult.</p>
<p>5% is probably the target number if there are only 5% OOS students. There’s always a lot of pressure to admit in-state kids considering the hundreds of millions of dollars the state gives the university.</p>
<p>anyone have any sources for what impact being oos has on admissions?
it seems counterintuitive to reject out of state applicants since they pay 10+k extra in tuition.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It does until you realize that these numbers are set by elected officials and not the people who manage the day-to-day operations of the university.</p>
<p>When I was visiting Fla a few weeks ago so that the State was paying less toward the scholarships given to in state students due to a budget shortfall. Many local students were complaining.Wonder what impact that will have on in state apps</p>
<p>There will still be a lot of state aps because the difference in what Bright Futures is not paying is “minimal” in comparison to what we’d have to pay OOS for most schools. I think, for instance, that in the next 4-5 years (small incremental change/year) Bright Futures Academic (the highest one) will only pay 70% of tuition; students will need to make up the difference. Again, it’s still a whole lot cheaper than paying OOS most places because merit aid’s so hard to come by. However, the numbers of students applying will be less because the demographics show that this year was the highest number of students (I think nation wide, actually) that there have ever been applying to college.</p>

<p>My understanding is by regulation or statute UNC can only admit a certain% of OOS. Does U of F have a similar requirement or is the ratio determined by preference</p>
<p>I found this from a recent news article:</p>
<p>Like several other states, Florida has a limit on the number of out-of-state students that can attend its public universities. The state mandates that no more than 10 percent of the undergraduate population across the 11-campus system be non-resident. In 2007, 5 percent of the students in the system were from out of state.</p>

<p>Thanks Zebes</p>
<p>That is what I was looking for</p>
<p>Students from “Foreign Countries” in this mix.</p>
<p>IF you did, then:
UF= 87% in state, 7% OOS, 6% Foreign
FSU= 88% in state, 9% OOS, 3% Foreign
USF= 89% in state, 5% OOS, 5% Foreign
UCF= 91% in state, 6% OOS, 3% Foreign</p>
<p>So then “the rest of the system” must really not be absorbing much.
I would immagine the higher “foreign” numbers directly correlate to the quantity of graduate programs at each institution.</p>

<p>Son got in for fall 09 with similar stats from out of state. 2040 SAT, 11 APs, 4.03 GPA and varsity baseball. Parents were both alumni which might have helped. Have seen enough threads on this board to know that kids with your stats get in and kids with your stats don’t. You are certainly qualified. There just are not enough slots for all the kids that can succeed and UF and want to get in. Work hard, enjoy your senior year and best of luck.</p>
