University of Florida Out-of-State

[xiphos]

I aspire to attend the University of Florida and I am an out of state applicant (live in NY). What does it take to get accepted to UF?

Look up the Common Data Set, section C, for the school. And have enough $ to pay the OOS rates.

Few students are admitted to the University of Florida purely on academic merit. While the potential for academic success is a primary consideration, UF’s holistic application review also considers a student’s personal essay, honors and awards, extracurricular activities, and family background. All information in the applicant’s file, academic and non-academic, is considered in relation to the size and strength of the entire applicant pool.

The middle 50 percent

The middle 50 percent of students admitted to the 2014 fall freshman class had the following criteria:
•High School GPA of 4.1-4.5
•SAT 1810-2060
•ACT 27-31

Admissions is 50% based on academics and 50% based on holistic items like extracurricular activities, leadership, volunteering, work, etc.

UF isn’t great with OOS merit scholarships, so the OOS rate could be a problem for many.

Good Luck!
