I am in the exact same situation and I have been wanting to go to UF, but I was concerned I wouldn’t get in. To my surprise, I did, and even though I got into the FSU Honors program, I didn’t think twice about where I would go considering I’ve always wanted to go to UF. However, after reading many of your posts, I am having a hard time making a decision, but I know I am leaning towards UF. I think its reputation and prestige is keeping me from objectively analyzing the 2 schools. I attend a private high school, and of course it is very competitive within my grade, and everyone cares about going to the best schools. FSU is looked down upon and UF is thought of as a great school, and I think my classmates’ opinions is affecting my decision, but I really don’t want that to be the case. I honestly don’t think FSU is that bad but if you look at the rankings, there is a significant difference. I don’t know what to do! I would really appreciate some non-biased advice!
