Wow, Florida State has a great recruiting plan for OOS students!

<p>Basically they are cutting the fees for Out-of-State Students by a good amount. I hope the University of Florida follows suit! We could really use the added revenue.</p>

<p>Lowering fees to attract more OOS students tells me that OOS tuition was originally higher than what OOS students were willing to pay. What am I missing here? Sounds like a cost correction to increase demand.</p>

<p>Well remember the Legislature forces UF & FSU to take 90% of their Undergraduates from Florida. This significant change means that the door could be open to increase Out-of-state students. This equates to millions in added revenue.</p>

<p>Yes, I do know that the state forces state schools to take in 90% from Florida. If FSU is trying to lower OOS fees to attract more OOS students, it means that FSU's OOS percentage is less than 10% right?</p>

<p>What is UF's OOS percentage?</p>

<p>For FSU: Fall of 2007 they had 29,599 in-state Undergrads, and 1,909 out-of-state Undergraduates. This equates to 6% of the total Undergraduate student body.</p>

<p>For UF: We are just a little bit better in that we are 93% in-state students, and 7% out-of-state.</p>

<p>In the future: I would like to follow the University of Virginia in the total number of Undergraduates that we take from out-of-state. Their Undergraduate student population is currently 69% Virginia Residents, and 31% from outside the Commonwealth. UF & FSU must follow their lead if we are to generate enough revenue to provide a descent experience for the Undergraduates.</p>

<p>It seems like some OOS students with higher GPA/SAT/ACT scores are getting deferred yet they have higher scores than Florida students. I believe the problem here is that UF needs to be a little more lenient on OOS admissions rather than lowering cost to address more OOS students.</p>

<p>Any update on UF possibly lowering tuition?</p>

<p>and no, UF still plans on raising tuition.</p>
