Yeah, I’m just hoping it is a sign of a UF acceptance.

My school does not rank, so that luckily isn’t a factor for me. I go to a competitive private school, so if they did rank, it would have effectively killed my application to almost everywhere I applied. Also, the requirement for the UM scholarship was to be in the top 10%. My school has the record, but they don’t release it to colleges. They told me once though earlier this year that I was in the top 40% with a 4.2 Weighted. Yikes. (Just shows how competitive it is.) I love my school’s policies. :)

Also, because it is private, many more students eventually choose to go out of state instead of remain in Florida. This opens up the race for admission a bit within the school, if UF actually pays close attention to the stats of individual schools. I think only the ultra-selective private schools monitor admission rates from individual high schools though.
