<p>From what I've heard, UF admissions gets harder as the year proceeds, and I've met students with much higher SATs who were rejected. I am doubting that your friend will get into UF unless your friend drastically raises his score. My understanding also is that Florida public colleges don't take race into consideration for admissions, and as a result the proportion of black students at places like UF has been declining. You probably can check this out by Googling articles about black admissions and Florida public universities.</p>
