This is correct - don’t fall in love with anywhere. Nowhere is assured - and there’s a zillion schools where one could be happy. And there are kids who go to their “dream” that look to transfer after a year.
The truth is, for most jobs, an employer isn’t going to care if you went to Florida or Oregon or Mizzou, etc.
Florida is a fine school - both my kids applied and were accepted. The great thing is - and few there get merit - but full tuition is still a great deal. It’s not as strong as U of SC in-state but at under $30K, it’s still cheap.
Per CDS, in Fall 2020, their acceptance rate was 31%. I believe last year it was 29%.
It’s not an easy get.
The subject line says UF ’ 26 chance.
I simply answered - that if the UF GPA (which we don’t know) is similar to the weighted, I don’t believe the student will get in.
I’m not sure why everyone continues to anguish on what I wrote.
I’m sure OP would like a diversity of opinions - as to yes/no.
I stated if the GPA is similar to what is listed, I don’t believe OP will get in.
I hope I’m wrong.
But OP will have wonderful choices (at Elon, U of SC) regardless. OP was already rejected at UMD - so I’m not so sure why one would find it hard to believe a similar result at UF.
It doesn’t mean it will happen. I’m not an AO. Some kids get into Harvard and rejected at UNC (OOS). I don’t put as much weight into UNC and UVA rejections because they are limited in OOS students whereas UF treats all similarly.
Good luck to OP. It’s time to move on from the comments directed toward me.
Please direct your thoughts to OP - and I’m sure they’d appreciate a yes/no since that’s what they asked for.
