I have heard some say that information published in the Aligator is sometimes inaccurate, and now I’m beginning to believe it. For example, I have heard in various places that 25,000 or sometimes “over 25,000” or sometimes “roughly 25,000” people applied to UF this year. Well, let’s call it 25,000. From the prior year’s data, 22,093 applied. An 8% increase, as the article states, would be 23,860. So, the real percentage increase number is likely larger. From other souces, I have read that the percent increase is as high as 20%. I suppose we have to take all non-offcial-source stats as mere estimates until the official accepatance rate stats are released by UF themselves.

BTW, this article was published on 4/25.
