@ANSims, Florida has a 46% acceptance rate and UM has a 40% acceptance rate.
@Cshecmia Web site says top presidential is $28,000 but I have not seen anyone get that yet. The top $ I have seen is $26,000 on this message board …
@nickhart The website said 30k max a month ago. They’ve lowered it on us. I have a feeling 26k is the true maximum now.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. STATS ONLY. NO DISCUSSION.
thanks! @lenny2
