UF admits 36 percent of freshman applicants

I have said it 10000 times and ill say it more. If you can afford summer B, DO IT!!! It was amazing in every way, I have never regretted doing it, and if i could do it again i would in a heartbeat

If you remove the PACE accepted students, the acceptance rate is 30.8%

My son had a stronger SAT, GPA, course load than his friends and was given Summer B where a couple of the lower performing friends were placed in fall so I don’t think it was based on student quality. It may have been in the past but the evidence indicates that it is not the case for the class of 2022. He was 710/730 1440 SAT, one of his friends with 1410, lower class rank, lower gpa and fewer ECs was put in fall.

@hammer510 The acceptance rate only considers fall and summer B admits. It doesn’t include PaCE, IA, etc.

The university admitted 14,866 of its 40,849 applicants. Of those accepted, 11,741 were admitted to the fall 2018 semester, and 3,125 were admitted to the Summer B 2018 semester. 14,866/40,849 comes out to 36%.

The state of Florida does put out info on the admissions stats for Fall vs Summer B students, in it’s “State University System of Florida Admissions Tour MATRIX”

UF’s stats are the same for Summer B and Fall. However, you’re notice it’s very different at many of the other state universities.

@Gator88NE, thank you for the clarification. I don’t want to spread false information. I incorrectly assumed and I should not have.

@Rubix1 the summer isn’t shorter. The delusion they are still kids and not adults living in the real world and all its horrors and hassles if they skip Summer B is longer.

@GatormarriedNole Fair enough…lol. I work full time over the summer, so I guess I was thinking through that lens. (summer employment). I live up north so after graduating in June, if I started Summer B, my “summer” would be nonexistent. That’s a huge downside for me (financially).
