Instate Admissions to UF

Depends on the persons time in the 40

 

I think you’ll get a yes and no to the question with examples of how their kids or someone else’s kids had stellar credentials

 

All other considerations being equal, yes. The University makes more money from an out-of-state student.

 

There’s this:

UF Admissions Facts and Myths - Admission By Design

 

a buddy of mine's son just got in from NC

 

Obviously, out of students pay more but I've never heard that it was easier for an out of state student to gain academic acceptance at UF. Just the opposite in fact.

 

All other considerations being equal, I said.

 

Sounds like a non answer to the question then.
River addressed the question .

 

Not really. He linked the company line on the matter. Of course, the school is going to say being in or out of state makes no difference. Do you think the university would openly say it has a financial interest in selecting more out-of-state students even if it was true?

Also, a factor that probably skews the data is the number of in-state junior college transfers whom the university has to admit by law.

 

The answer is it depends

 

Think what you like. I'm not in to conspiracy theories.
I will go with what I was told by an admissions officer at UF when my son applied/was accepted.

 

How would you explain both my out of state kids getting accepted and offered a sunshine scholarship so they only needed to pay instate tuition?

 

I wouldn’t even try to. Congratulations, though. That’s an outstanding accomplishment. You must be very proud.

 

I appreciate the carefully answered questions, but I can tell you, that's exactly what they are.

Example: Your alumni parents can help get you in. Not because your parents are alums, but because they likely know people on the inside, and not just in the sports program. This is an admission of guilt for me. If my boys had shown interest, I could have pulled levers for them.

I also strongly believe that in-state gets a penalty to undergrad admissions. As the Q&A shows, there isn't a direct penalty in the process, but it shows up in the "holistic" approach in other ways.

 

Yes but both chose to go to other schools that cost me out of state tuition

 

Don't have a clue if it's true but my son was accepted along with 6 others out of a class of like 90 kids from a small high school in Jax. Their counselor said the school had a good track record of success at UF and that made a difference when it came to their in state decisions.

 

MAGA?

 

Really smart kids from two freakishly good-looking parents?
