UF Regular vs. FSU Honors

<p>Hi everyone!! New here! I have previously read some topics about the FSU Honors Program and attending UF as a regular. So here is my post about me, any help is much appreciated!! Recently discovered I was accepted to UF, started crying. It is basically the dream school. I want to follow a pre med track and was hoping for advice on which university to attend! FSU Honors has a lot of perks…early registration, Best dorm(Landis) etc… I really would like to get classes I want, so the early registration sounded great knowing that at UF freshman get the leftovers…However, UF is a top tier school with a well known medical school. If I choose FSU, I can always transfer to UF, right? Aha ha… Help. I have not visited any campuses yet, but I’m fine with any type of campus. Thank you! </p>

<p>Going to UF doesn’t increases your chances at getting into UF’s med school (not enough to matter, anyway). However, UF does produce far more med school applicants.</p>

<p>In 2012, UF had 713 applicants while FSU produced 259 (while both schools have about the same number of undergrads…around 32K). </p>

<p>However, if you’re one of the 259, it doesn’t matter if another school produced more applicants. But, it does shows that UF is able to produce more students that are in a position to apply to med school.</p>

<p>Going to UF and not being in honors will not hurt your chances, as compared to FSU + Honors. Only let honor’s play a role in your choice, because you would love taking honor’s classes, and doing the extra effort required.</p>

<p>Finally, it is possible to apply to UF honors, if you haven’t been offered the program by UF. They require 2 essays, and a completed form. </p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>
