<p>What’s the acceptance rate for UF grads applying to med school? Does UF med school favor UF undergrads? Any majors more successful than others? Are most students having to take a year after graduation to do research or enhance there applications in some way?</p>

<p>No idea on acceptance rates from UF, and most schools deny giving their students priority for med school acceptance, though stats typically tell a different story. Good news is that most Florida state uni’s only accept Florida residents into their programs, so just make sure to apply to all of them. </p>
<p>If you don’t get into med school your app cycle then you are doing something wrong. Gpa too low, Mcat too low, not enough or good enough EC’s, poor interview skills, or poor school selections, and any combination of these. If everything there is good, then you don’t have to worry about getting in.</p>
<p>This rate is not published by UF because it is low enough that they feel it would deter its students. Their website says in response to the question of “What is the acceptance rate?”
“This answer to this question is pretty meaningless. The University of Florida does not restrict any student from applying to professional school. In other words, even less than competitive students can apply to professional school. Clearly, the more of these students there are, the larger the denominator becomes and the lower our percentage rate becomes. Conversely, some schools, only consider those applicants who have a 3.5 or above, for example, as their applicants and base their acceptance rates from that number. Because there is no consistency about how undergraduate institutions arrive at their “percentage accepted,” it is difficult to compare schools on the same criteria. Therefore, UF does not publish this data as a way to attract students. In the end, it is not the school that obtains a medical school acceptance, it is a student. The harder our students work, the more likely they are to be accepted to a professional school. Following the advice of the pre-health professions advisors, using the resources available to them such as the Academic Advising Center’s workshops, the OHLPA Library and Services, and the Pre-Health Professions Handbook, our students are very successful at gaining acceptance to medical school.”

As for last year’s overall acceptance rate, it is 8.6%.</p>
<p>As to “most FL state uni’s only accept Florida residents,” this is completely not the case. UF’s out of state tuition is more than double its in state tuition, providing a financial incentive to accept from out of state (the mere fact that an out of state tuition exists is evidence to the contrary). It also increases their diversity, something schools are really into these days. I also knew an out of state student at USF Medical School.</p>
<p>As much as I’d love to ignore your ■■■■■■■■, I don’t want the OP to believe your idiocy.</p>
<p>Florida medical schools out of state applicants and acceptees:
FSU med school '08: 753 applied, 2 accepted, 2 enrolled
UofMiami '08: 3126 applied, 129 accepted, 57 enrolled
USF med school '08, 1241 applied, 21 accepted, 11 enrolled</p>
<p>As for UF, see for yourself:
In-state admissions data 1512 applied, 334 interviewed, 220 were accepted, 124 enrolled
Out-of-state admissions data 1286 applied, 38 interviewed, 21 were accepted, 8 enrolled</p>
<p>It’s pretty obvious preference is given to Florida residents.</p>
<p>Steel, I don’t see how Dartmouth was ■■■■■■■■… Everything he stated in his post, I’ve read elsewhere online and believe to be true…</p>
<p>A preference is given to instate students… </p>
<p>In your post, you stated "most Florida state uni’s only accept Florida residents into their programs, so just make sure to apply to all of them. " Dartmouth didn’t deny the fact that a preference is given to instate students, he said it was financially incentive for Florida schools to accept out-of-state students, and that Florida schools do so </p>
<p>If anything, your first post was much more inaccurate than Dartmouth’s</p>
<p>Does anyone know what percentage of UF’s Medical School incoming classes come from UF’s undergrad programs? I cannot seem to find any statistics on the incoming current or past Medical School classes at UF. At UMiami for example, something like 35% of their first year Med class is from their own undergrad class!</p>
