University of Florida Class of 2028 Official Thread

Most schools have a webpage, often on the career development page, where they post outcomes, and you can drill down by major, etc. If you can’t find it, Google “School name student outcomes”. Not all schools will post the same data points.

Here is UF’s: Student Outcomes - Career Connections Center

In addition, look at the school/department webpage. Sometimes, additional information is posted there. If all else fails, your AO should be able to help you. Some third-party websites may include some data, but I would be careful - you don’t know how current or accurate it is.

Why doesn’t your child just go to FSU? Solution to your issues.

I believe they are looking for prestige.

Don’t rule out pathways
You will still graduate with a UF Engineering Degree
I know its not what you were hoping for but take a good look at the program

So if FSU is not prestigious enough, then why would they consider UGA?

Great question

Berkeley is a dump. Plus, my neighbor’s son pays $8k per month for a 2 bedroom apartment there.

I keep telling my son this. I “think” it’s starting to sync in.

Did you apply to any other instate Florida schools
We don’t know the acceptance rate yet for this year but last year was 19% i believe for UF

As an Auburn fan this made me giggle.

We should have looked at FSU but came from CA and had less than 18 hours at each school in 3 separate states. We drove from Gainesville to Athens with a deadline to make prescheduled tours with the business programs. Here in CA, UGA is considered an amazing school if looking for a top state school with a great business program and away from the prestige and sticker price of the privates. Their alumni are everywhere out here and speak highly of the school. Thank you though for the intel on its reputation in the south. Had to giggle at Auburn response!!! Keeping it light, love it.

Yeah - I thought that FSU and UGA were kind of on par? Though, I hadn’t looked into UGA too much personally.

really - 19% for UF last year?

Not really sure why there is so much hype over UGA. If you go to the admissions blog for UGA, it is nonsense, and people have bought into it.

Heyyy just came here to update that I finally checked last night, and I got into UF!! :)) thanks again for the hope/motivation :smiling_face:

Congrats!!!

Is there any benefit to enrolling officially super early. Can I select my classes sooner? I’ve heard there are a lot of issues getting classes, so I would like to get it as early as possible. I already have my schedule all planned out and everything.

My kiddo was in same situation. To remove any doubt, he discussed this in his essay (and with an Honors counselor) that he planned to take undergrad credits and that his dual-enrollment was in-place-of weaker/unavailable high school classes.
