Interesting from p8: “The university has decided to increase non-resident undergraduate enrollment from 21% to 25% between 2024 and 2028.” The report indicates (p25) that overall OOS enrollment was 13% last year; I know recent first year classes have been about 20% OOS, and that OOS applications have close to doubled in the past 5 years, but this is a big jump. Wonder how much they expect applications OOS to increase with the new EA/RD application process.
This makes a lot of sense. I’m a NY resident but have a lot of family and friends in Florida (I am literally in the state right now). According to my friends, it’s impossible to get into UF down here and kids will apply for summer admission, spring admission, or whatever else they can apply for to increase odds of admission. From my NY public school, kids in the middle of the pack have no issue getting in. Each grade in my school is around 120 kids and we have no issue sending multiple to UF every year.
Interesting – according to Sasse at a Board of Trustees meeting the average stats for admitted OOS students are higher than in-state (1450 OOS avg SAT this year vs 1420 in-state); that equates with what we saw last year at my kid’s NYC public.
I saw that UGa’s CDS for 2023-24 included info about in-state and OOS admission and matriculation. I’d like to see UF’s stats in that regard – I know OOS matriculation is much lower than in-state at UF; in-state it’s almost always free to go to UF bc/o all the support that state gives high performing students to stay in-state. UF is annoying about releasing CDS late, and I don’t know if they will include that section.
I would guess UGA is the same as far as in state/OOS matriculation with in state being much higher because tuition is free for most in state admits. Interesting they separated it out on the CDS. I believe that was the first year residency was considered at all.
