<p>Hi i have a question is it really hard to get into UF and if i get in is their any way to become a resident so i dont have to pay over 20,000 a year thanks</p>
<p>Obtaining Florida residency is quite easy. Florida is one of the most easiest states for an individual to become a resident.</p>
<p>so is it hard to get in cause i want to go to pharmacy program (pre-pharmacy).WHAt SAT score should i have cause i have like a 90 average i dont know what Gpa that is</p>
<p>well, they do not consider residency as a factor for admission purposes. You should apply now and try it out.</p>
<p>90 average isn't anywhere close to what they look for</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, a 90 out of 100 is an A-. UF's qualified GPA is a 3.5, which is equivalent to a 90. So yes, you have a chance, nyboy.</p>
<p>GPA Percentile Letter Grade
4.0 95-100 A
3.9 94 A
3.8 93 A
3.7 92 A
3.6 91 A
3.5 90 A
3.4 89 B
3.3 88 B
3.2 87 B </p>
<p>Being OOS with a 3.5 GPA you really don't stand a chance although UF could certainly use your $20,000.</p>
<p>Look thru the accepted thread to see how amy OOS students were denioed with GPA's higher than yours and SAT's in the 1400's.</p>
<p>By the way it is next to impossible anymore to become a resident in florida without living here first for one full year having a full time job & paying taxes.</p>
<p>um.. whoever said getting florida residency is easy is wrong when it comes to tuition purposes. florida is one of those states you have to live in for a full year to qualify for instate tuition and if you are dependent on your parents (they are claiming you on their taxes) then they are the ones who have to live here and not just you. Living in dorms does not count really. This is actually pretty standard relative to other states.. certain states are harder to get residency in and others are easier.</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, Florida is easier to obtain residency than any other states, especially in North Carolina. I have talked to specialists about this issue and they said that North Carolina is by far the hardest state to become a resident. I'm a student at North Carolina and I am trying, but trying to become a resident. My friend arrived to Florida from Texas and after one year, he became a resident. One year of living off campus(apartment), emancipating yourself, getting a Florida license, and getting a job is not that difficult at all. I have seen many achieve it and it is quite possible.</p>
<p>relative to other states florida is neither easy or hard to obtain residency for tuition purposes. Its just standard. And that it is easier to get residency for tuition purposes in florida than all the other states is false. There are many other states, Washington State is a good example, that have rules that allow students to obtain residency for tuition purposes in their first year of college through conditional residency or that allow students to refund a portion of the difference they paid in the first year later after residency has been established. I would know, I've written a published pamphlet on this issue.</p>
