Who is a parent of a FSU or UF Student?

<p>Here’s a link to UF admissions profile. The stats for admitted students are creeping up year by year (Mid 50th percentile = 4.0-4.4 WGPA; 1220-1400 SAT). The stats seem to be increasing by about 10 SAT points per year. It sure has changed a lot since I was applying (in the 70’s)! </p>

<p>The typical UF student has had 4 AP classes, and over a 4.0 weighted. To get your recalculated weighted GPA for UF admissions, take out all non-academic classes, add .5 for honors and 1.0 for APs.</p>

<p>UF is good about giving AP credit. My youngest son just entered with 27 hours credit. He clepped out of freshman composition. This gives him a lot more flexibility to take classes he’s interested in (He still has to take a minimum of 13 hours to be considered full time and thus get the Bright Futures scholarship).</p>

<p>UF has a 24,000 word writing requirement (different humanities/social science classes have different word classifications- some are 2,000 word, some 4000 word, and some 6000 word) and a 6 hour international/diversity requirement (at least two humanities/social science classes with an international focus). Here’s a link to some gened information:</p>
