Chance my daughter (FL, 3.88UW/4.6W[UF method], 1460) [<$10k, finance/ accounting]

I am not an admissions professional, but my guess is that if her SAT was 1500+ that it might then be a toss-up school. But she could have a 1600 SAT and I don’t think it would move past a toss-up. When a school has a 24% admit rate, it’s turning down many qualified students. I know that last year there were a number of unhappily surprised families of in-state students who were strong students who were not accepted.

You may want to look at this guidance document in this post, particularly pages 12-13: Guidance Counselors Guide for Florida Public Universities

@kevi2900 shared that and, in looking at the table, she could perhaps apply for a summer entry, and I suspect that her odds of admission would be even higher. I don’t know the nuances and requirements/differences with summer entry vs. fall entry, but if UF is her clear first choice, then it may be something to consider.
