University of Florida 2025 — Regular Decision

[flprepaidmom]

Is there a cap on out of state enrollment in Florida?

Our daughter is a senior this year, and has qualified as a Florida Academic Scholar. This is our first experience with college applications, and she is handling most of it herself. Her top two choices are UF and FSU, yet she’s extremely worried she won’t get into either one. I know North Carolina Schools have a cap that seems a little excessive, but at the same time fair. I’m trying to understand how it is that an above average student with competitive credentials, is concerned whether or not they will be accepted into a 4 year public university in the state where they reside. Where does this leave the average student? Perhaps since Florida’s schools are becoming more and more difficult to get into, they should taper down on the out-of-state and out-of-country recruiting.
