Out of State Admission

<p>Anyone have any idea what the admission percentage is for out of state applicants?</p>

<p>I live in GA and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I have a chance of getting in.
3.95 GPA (not UF) and about 4.6 if you add the UF stuff in for AP/Honors
2140 SAT - 770M - 640CR - 730W
I have a moderate amount of extracurricular activities but I'm not president of any clubs or anything.
My high school is one of the most competitive in Georgia; I am just barely in the top 20% even though I have gotten straight A's thoughout high school, with the exception of one B in AP Physics.
Also, my dad went to Florida.</p>

<p>THANKS!</p>

<p>You have a good chance. Always good to see a legacy! Good luck</p>

<p>Great job on your grades. Your SAT scores are pretty high as well, good enough for honors! I think that you have a good chance at acceptance. I honestly don't think that they really weigh the ECs too much. I would definitely say that SAT/GPA is much much more important based on the students I know that have gotten in. Pretty much you can outweigh your low ECs with a great GPA/SAT, but you can't outweigh a low GPA/SAT with great ECs. You see? I think that you've got a great chance esp with the legacy.. I'd go so far as to say 70-80% chance at least. Good luck and hope to be a fellow gator with you :D</p>

<p>If you look at the stats of incoming UF freshman, GPA is probably the biggest factor. And for applicants with a 4.0+, about 85% were accepted. While being out of state won't help you at all, I would bet that because of your great GPA and SAT you will get in. Good luck!</p>

<p>Edit- my weighted GPA is actually only 4.4, not 4.6</p>

<p>Somewhere on this board I read UF accepts around 5% out of state -- don't know if that's true. But with all the crushing budgetary restraints and so forth, I wouldn't doubt they need to open their limited enrollment more toward tax-paying Floridians ... not to throw cold water on your UF plans. On the other hand, your scores and grades are strong, the legacy Dad doesn't hurt....good luck!</p>

<p>the percentage of the freshman student body that was from out of state was 5%. but I am talking about of the out of state applicants what percentage is accepted?</p>

<p>Wit OOS tuiton being at 20k, it is not terrible, but does UF offer some financial aid, maybe not as much as to a FL resident, but FL people have bright futures. I'd like to knock the overall COA to <20k if I go OOS somewhere, but that may be hard at schools like UF, UGA, Michigan, etc...</p>

<p>Good question gatorboy; I'm not aware of any discrimination against OOS folks, but I did note that when I was in the honors dorms there was an unusually high number of OOS people (my roommate and one of my suitemates were from the Midwest, for example).</p>
