Out of State Students...

Many state universities have in-state quotas. But UF has not hit its ceiling with respect to quotas, so the hurdles are the same for both in-state and out-of-state.

You take a college like UNC- they hit the ceiling big time every year. So since they can only accept something like 17% OOS, and they get WAY more OOS applicants than that, they have to be pickier with OOS than in state. NC State, on the other hand, has the same quotas, but doesn’t get the same OOS volume of applicants, so the selectivity is roughly the same for both.

When UF becomes a state university as popular with OOS students as UNC and UVa, it will have to be more selective with OOS applicants than instate applicants.
