We are located in a competitive high income school district in the suburbs of Chicago that regularly ships a significant quantity of students outside the region. The following are the Division 1 schools outside our region with a similar “college experience” as UF that our graduates have gone to over the past four years:
Missouri - 59
Colorado - 39
Alabama - 38
TCU - 28
Kansas - 23
Kentucky - 20
Arizona - 15
Wake Forest - 13
Southern Cal - 11
Texas at Austin - 10
SMU - 9
Auburn - 8
Miami - 7
Mississippi - 7
Tulane - 7
Syracuse - 5
UCB - 4
UCLA - 4
Oregon - 4
South Carolina - 4
Virginia - 4
Only a handful have applied to UF, and none have gone. UF has also been a no show for our college fair (close to 250 schools attend) the last couple of years.
