FAMU is a fairly small school. FAMU only has 7,800 undergraduates (FSU has 33,000+). They only admit 31% of their applicants and they enroll a higher percentage (20%) of OOS undergraduates than UF or FSU.
Each of these schools have AO’s that do reach out and visit HS’s, but they don’t visit them all. FAMU likely targets urban areas (including OOS), and the others spend most of their effort visiting local HS in their region. UF and FSU are better and hitting all of the state but have only started to actively recruit out of state.
Interesting Stat time! In a way this speaks to school popularity and Alumni engagement…
