Florida dad, Im 4.0+weighted and 1900+sat but chose UCF over FSU/UF for a couple of reasons.

1.Opportunity- I’m Pre-med so I looked for the best school offering internships and research, being in a large city UCF offered this.
2.Exclusivity- Why play into the degree machine game that colleges are nowadays…at UCF higher stat people like dolphin and I could be a part of the Honors college which many students that aren’t offered at UF. They just become a regular number to the school (not to mention UCF’s Honors college is more selective… at UF there is lateral admission for those who do well first semester that didn’t have the right stats, at UCF only the best of the best get in)
3. Fun- I never bought into the whole gator nation(which doesn’t mean squat to any academic facility of reputation), so going to a school where unless your in a frat or a football fanatic…life is boring.
4. $ - Why pay more for the same degree from a big state university… on paper for grad schools/ med school they just look at your scores and gpa and activities, not school. UCF offered me over 10 grand up front!
