<p>I think this is a clear indication that UF is not charging enough in tuition.</p>

3

<p>Wow, I am kinda impressed. I knew we had an impressive yield rate, but not the highest.</p>

<p>SSobick, I wouldn’t worry about tuition. The florida legislature recently passed a measure allowing UF’s tuition to increase to the national average. This means bright futures will no longer cover 100% of the tuition, although Florida Prepaid Plan still will.</p>

<p>This bodes well for future national ranking where yield rates are often considered.</p>

<p>Which year is this yield ranking for??</p>

<p>This places the University of Florida as 6th overall amongst all National Universities (we are tied with Princeton).</p>

<p>Not too shabby…</p>

8

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah the list is only for public but you can still merge them together and see that it doesn’t match up with the yield/ranking that MSN has. MSN’s list must be from last year.</p>

<p>If that is the case, then it means UF’s yield ranking has gone up (even though the yield has gone down)!</p>

9

<p>what’s a yield rate?</p>

10

<p>Yield is the percentage of the admitted students who actually enroll.</p>

11

<p>This is probably because uf has nearly no competition in Florida, as well as a relatively low in-state tuition. These two things make it a very enticing choice for applicants.</p>

<p>In california, for example, it’s much harder for schools to maintain high yield rates when you have multiple UC’s competing like cal, ucla, along with stanford.</p>

12

<p>^this is true, also, it appears that UF yield rate seems to have lowered (I believe it was slightly above 65% last I checked).</p>

<p>this may be due to the fact that more and more kids are taking up other state schools due to scholarship offerings.</p>

<p>gpowsang</p>

13

<p>^ UF’s yield went down, but, their national over-all ranking went up. Go figure.</p>

14

<p>

</p>

<p>Competition in what? Football? lullll</p>

15

<p>What state school can compete with UF in terms of academics?</p>

<p>FSU?</p>

<p>Yeah right…They are about on the same playing field as UCF. </p>

<p>UF is much more academically competitive to get accepted than FSU.</p>

<p>In fact nobody in my graduating class got accepted to UF and not FSU.</p>

16

<p>i’m all about uf, but saying that because admission standards are higher than another school and therefor beyond competition is naive.</p>

17

<p>UF doesn’t experience the endemic problem other top public universities have. For example, all the Cal’s are all relatively good. As such, it is not that surprising UC Berkley is relatively low.</p>

<p>I never said UF was beyond competition, just that it has a strong comparative advantage.</p>

18

<p>

</p>

<p>Agreed.</p>

<p>Anything you say is arbitrary and holds no weight, so keep spouting your ********. You’re not proving anything other than how dumb you are.</p>

19

<p>

</p>

<p>And I know a girl who was rejected by FSU and accepted by UF. She’s going to USF for financial reasons. Financial aid at UF is abysmal compared to other state unis.</p>

</p>

<p>I think if I were a representative in our state legislature I would have opted for increasing the standards of bright futures rather than decrease its relative contribution; I see no reason why scoring 60 points below the national average on the SAT warrants a scholarship.</p>
