<p>When we were there last weekend, they said they would be offering merit $ for OOS students. But don’t let the high acceptance rate fool you into thinking NCF is a safety, it has a very self-selective population that applies. Many FL kids don’t apply because they are too afraid of the academic rigor and upset by the lack of football. It’s also not the school for students who want majors outside of the liberal arts, like business and engineering.</p>
