<p>^^^42% admittance is not for OOS students, UF is only 3% out of state. This student would still be considered out of state for admissions, his prepaid plan does not change his residency status. But he will be considered in state for tuition purposes because of the contract for the prepaid tuition plan.</p>
<p>3% of the students are from out of state. That is very different from an admission rate.</p>
<p>I well understand that, but 42% is NOT the admit rate for OOS.</p>
<p>
I cannot see any way to interpret that statement other than you trying to say the admit rate for OOS is 3%. So if you “well understand that” isn’t the admit rate for OOS, you shouldn’t state that it is. I cannot find an admit rate for OOS apps. I don’t see that stat anywhere. Even so, he is a very likely admit with those stats and his connection to Florida.</p>
<p>Most state schools are more likely for in state than OOS, I sure would hope so. Otherwise as a taxpayer I would be pretty upset. But let’s not make it look like or even seem like Harvard for OOS students, lol.</p>
<p>Guys I’m instate at UF. I used to live in Florida and while I did I bought prepaid college. I’ve called the dean of admissions to make sure that I was instate because I have prepaid so I’m almost definite I will get in there. Also, does anyone know if it would be very hard to transfer into UVA after 2 years at UF. My parents said if I go to UF they’ll also pay for grad school, but I would much rather get into the school of my choice first time around.</p>
<p>UF is not a safety. Yes, you ARE considered instate for TUITION purposes for prepaid, but admissions will not consider you instate for the selection process if you did not attend high school in Florida. Florida and it’s acceptances can be quirky. It is a match, it is not a safety. You are not in the top 10-25% stats wise for instate let alone for out of state. </p>
<p>The deal with prepaid is that if you move you are guaranteed to be able to use it to come back to Florida for instate tuition rates. But you are not considered instate in the admissions office. That is reserved for those who paid taxes in the state of Florida.</p>
<p>Hmm, sunnyflorida says that but for some reason the dean told me I would be considered instate. I’m going to call the dean to verify this because if I’m not considered instate at florida I’m F***ed</p>
<p>Yeah, this is a lot of sturm und drang about nothing. 31 ACT, 3.85 UW GPA (at least, I am assuming that is unweighted by the way you listed your actual grades. You didn’t raise them a letter grade for honors or AP courses, right?) I would be shocked if you didn’t get admitted in any case, but since you were a resident and did pay taxes and do have a state plan, admissions isn’t going to just ignore all that. They do have discretion. People want to make their schools seem more selective than they are. This isn’t Berkeley or UCLA. Yes, Florida can afford to be somewhat selective because students have FSU as an option. But the stats are pretty clear. Many OOS students with lesser stats than the OP have gotten into Florida.</p>
<p>Thank god, i all else fails i’m going to florida (well that is for 1 year/2years max than I’m transfering out hopfully to uva.</p>
<p>UMich should ONLY be considered a match if you apply really early. But even then, out-of-state admissions there are pretty competitive. Although it isn’t as hard as Berkeley, and not as competitive as UCLA (since they get 55k+ apps a year; the most of any university), it’s still not that easy. It’ll also depend on what you’re applying for, but if you apply any time after January 1st, it’ll be a reach for sure. </p>
<p>They’re moving to the Common App next year (as far as I’m aware), so you should see an increase in applications, and a decrease in acceptance rate.</p>
<p>Ohh i’m definitly applying early to Umich. Thats one of my next choices after UVA. I’m actually visiting the school next weekend. I’m planning on applying for classics/business. I’m not applying for preadmit to ross but plan on applying to ross after 1 year in the scholl.</p>
