Iâm sorry abt yâallâs situation with more OOS students applying. For me, I kinda had to apply to other stateâs public universities because⊠well⊠UTK isnât exactly known for medicineâŠ

California kids pay full fare at private schools like Stanford. So thatâs not relevant to your argument. EOD some majors are impacted and canât absorb all the qualified kids that apply.

This is why I mentioned endowments. Stanford and USC have massive endowments and are very very generous with scholarship. Either way, CA has 4-5 highly ranked publics to support my argument.
Did anyone know UF acceptance rate this year? Oos?

Well done you. If any kid deserves it, you do. Your dedication has impressed us all.

I appreciate you are angry and frustrated, I would be too. But many California families will feel the same way in a few weeks when their 4.0 ,1500 kid âonlyâ gets into UC Irvine or UC riverside. Or the Seattle kids that want CS at UW and instead have to go to Utah or OSu. Your legislature should fix it, and so should theirs. But FL is no worse than many others, itâs just what youâre closest to. Isnât 90% of u Florida in state? Good luck I hope it all works out.

But UF accepts ~80 in-state. What do you expect? 100%? Try being in CA with itâs massive Asian population. The national merit cutoff in CA is 221 vs FL at 216. Thatâs a good gauge of the relative difficulty. The UC system is a total lottery for in-state students because UCâs wonât even look at test scores.

That is pretty what I said earlier. Scores just not there. That score also low for FSU.

UNC limit for OOS student mix was just raised from 18% to 25% by their board of governors. They are currently around 20% out of state students.
UF has around 10% OOS students.
Itâs the opposite of what you said.

Rules like this are arguably why UF has a better in-state student base than UT Austin.

Same here. Indian CBSE student accepted. Intended major is Computer Science.
But there is no mentioning of major in the letter. Does UF admit students into their majors?

For us OOS, whatâs the general reputation of UF among those who go there? Iâve heard criticism of some online classes or large classes. But do most students there love it academically and socially other than it being the clear flagship? Seems like most students and alums have a strong affinity
Whatâs the good and bad? Cost aside, would in-state people choose it over UNC, UT Austin, UGA, GT, UCs other than UCB/UCLA?
It doesnât seem like when you look at Southern flagships that the students are materially different academically on average other than maybe GT? OOS acceptance rates skew reps of UNC/UT Austin, but should they? All these schools have a lot of smart kids. Even MICH only has average stats slightly better and thatâs probably bc higher OOS percentages. Same with GT arguably.
UF also seems to have more major flexibility versus some. Any thoughts appreciated.

No, except for majors that require audition (theater, music) and I think the program for engineers who start at community college.

Not correct. The cap of oos is 10% across all Florida public colleges. Since some schools get fewer oos students UF absorbs higher numbers and is right at 20% oos student population.
