UF 2021 OFFICIAL DISCUSSION PAGE!!!

Like 100 students apply from my school. This kid with a 1440 didnt get in and it was his first choice

@cody27 Huh, weird…I’m assuming a majority of those 100 students got in since it’s an IB school? Are you from a highly competitive county or something?

At my school about 100 applied as well and like ~95 got accepted

GATOR NATION!!!

GATOR NATION!!! OOS FROM BOSTON! BOM CHICKA BOM BOM…SO HAPPY!!

Some of the most competitive applicants got rejected. I was under the impression that 33+ was pretty much auto-admission…

I’m glad I got in but I’m kinda upset that 3/4 of my friends didn’t :confused:

.

I also got accepted (34 ACT, 5.0 GPA), but I am not sure if I want to go to UF. I get my last decisions April 1, but the UF honors application is due at the end of this month. Is the honors app in any way binding?

@hopefulundertone Im pretty sure nothing is binding until you pay your deposit

It seems like UF is getting increasingly hard to get into… 33,000 applied for only 6,600 spots, meaning there was only a 20% acceptance rate??! Thats crazy, congrats to all who got in!

@curiouscat319 This happened to my oldest daughter 4 years ago. It’s very hard, but in the end you will land where you are supposed to be. It’s definitely UFs loss…

Did anyone else get Gator Engineering at Sante Fe?
