Anyone else on here rooting for UF in march madness. My bracket this year will be based on the colleges that accepted me in order of preference, so hoping UF makes it so I can put them down to win it all lol.

I was told by a friend that after today (the first day in housing selections), all of the double dorms were gone except for Graham Hall. I am very concerned and unsure if this is right because there are still 6 days of housing selection, and that means thousands of kids still need housing. I just donāt think itās possible because there are not enough dorms for the rest of the kids if what she said is true. Even though housing is not guaranteed, this still doesnāt seem right to me. Iām wondering if itās because she was admitted for Summer B and maybe they have less options/availability for housing? If anyone knows anything that would help me, please let me know. Iām worried Iām not going to get housing at all now.
Not sure where they are seeing all gone except for Graham. Iām in there right now and there are still lots of options. I bet it has something to do with being Summer B. I am fall.
Okay great thank you so much. Any Jennings or Broward aviliability? Also does anyone know how much priority out of state LLC has on housing?

Thank you!

Iām sorry, I totally forgot to check a few days ago!! But as of right now there are very limited options for any dorm/room. There are 3 rooms currently left and each only have room for 1 person.
In case people are interested, from the UF Board of Trustees meeting today:

They did say that they expected some admitted students to fall off over the summer, so the first year class wonāt be that big.
I hope this is true. Iāve heard some universities take back their offers sometimes if the class size is to big, and this seems to be a very sizable increase. Based on the housing fiasco, they probably canāt handle everyone either and might really be counting on people to drop.
I wonder what the yield was
If there was a significant jump to account for the larger class size
The yield is in the chart. Donāt know percentage, but the bar graph makes it seem quite a bit higher.
Another thing that was interesting to me was the detailed focus and data on continuing efforts to amp up targeted outreach (starting early) and support (financial but also counseling and services) for first generation and low income students ā that part of the presentation could have a majority of the presentation and all of the board seemed supportive of those efforts.
And last interesting thing: amped up funding from the legislature, focused on recruiting faculty (over the last 5ish years); Iām done watching the video of parts of the meeting I was interested in!
If UF publishes a new CDS, the 2023-24 ones tend to have information separating out in-state and OOS applications, admission rates and yields. FSU has that in its most recent (2023-24) CDS. Who knows if/when UF will share that data. UF shared a 2022-23 CDS (I think it was in the summer last year?), but never did a 2021-22 one; I donāt know if missing a year was a fluke or a plan going forward to do them every other year. But the info for this year wouldnāt be available until sometime next year at the earliest.
You can see a lot of the data in college navigator College Navigator - University of Florida (ed.gov)
Thank you! That doesnāt separate out data for in-state and OOS admissions, though, right? Iām not seeing that.
I was never able to find that info seperated.
The 2024 CDS came out from UF:
Looks like 52.6% in state acceptance rate, 14.3% OOS acceptance rate, and 19.6% international acceptance rate. 24% overall.
Thatās weird. On charts they have shared over the last year, in-state applications were between 30K and 35K for class entering Fall 2023, and OOS/international between 25K and 30K. I wonder if there is a typo somewhereā¦
Yeah, FSUās 2023-24 CDS has more of a close split in-state v OOS; I canāt believe UF is so different.: Office of Institutional Research - Florida State University
I have to believe there is an error there, though itās hard to believe that would get messed up in an official report.
Below is pic of application growth from the last 4 years presented at a December 2023 board meeting.
