University of Florida

<p>How difficult is it to get into University of Florida if you're from out of state? (New York). What scores/gpa/ec would it take to receive admission?</p>

<p>UF only accepts enough OOS applicants to fill 3% of their incoming class. </p>

<p>Your scores, ECs, course difficulty, GPA and essay have to be unbelievable.</p>

<p>How unbelievable are you talking about? Unbelievable compared to instate kids? What scores do you think I would need?</p>

<p>Yes, unbelievable compared to even IS applicants. I don’t have specific stats, and I can’t find them anywhere online, including UF’s website. And I was mistaken by the way, 3% is the legal limit for OOS applicants they can accept. They only actually accept about 1.5%, or under 100 kids.</p>

<p>Honestly, as a senior in Florida, I really would recommend against it. I also do not know any specific stats, as I don’t think there are any to be found (I don’t think UF releases this kind of data).
It will be undoubtedly easier for someone like myself to get in than someone in your shoes and with the scores you’d need to get in you could easily receive an equal (if not better) education elsewhere.
If you want to be in Florida though you should definitely try for the University of Miami, arguably Florida’s most prestigious university (alongside UF). Unlike UF, its private so your chances of being accepted are drastically higher. UM also has a specifically strong medical program, if thats what you’re into :slight_smile: (Sorry for that tangent!)</p>

<p>I’m planning on majoring in business. What’s the best business school in Florida? UMiami? What about FSU?</p>

<p>Though this article was written in 2010, it may still be helpful. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I live in ny and i am definitely applying to UF. I have 3.3 gpa which isnt the best, but I have a 2100 sat and 1460 out of 1600. I have a good amount of extracurriculurs. I’m an asian male. Are my chances solid or not good. On my application Ive also stated that UF is my number one choice of school</p>

<p>3.3 GPA…a Florida resident probably wouldn’t get in with a 3.3. This school has become incredibly competitive. In light of economics, many more of top FL students are staying in state. </p>

<p>Try UCF, UNF, FSU…</p>
