The university wants smart kids form all over. If FL kids can't compete then they can't compete. This is the reality of life. It will have disappointments. Get the fuk over it and move on instead of wallowing in self pity and blaming someone else. You're setting a great example for your kid - wah wah wah wah
The fact that you are making this personal only shows you are promoting a weak argument. Agree with the other posters. UF may want academically strong students from all over but passing up on equally qualified Florida Students to do so is not acceptable. I have friends who have been involved in the admittance guidelines. UF has tiers which applicants get put into A, B, C etc. Within those tiers are some sub-tiers. The take so many of each.
Your position is not only wrong, it shows your ignorance and arrogance. If your student did get in, hope you gave full credit to your wife since your student clearly inherited his/her intelligence from her.

Originally posted by Unregistered View Post"Not acceptable" to whom? You? Admissions goes to great lengths to ensure a diverse student population in every way, that means accepting out of state students just like international and minorities. Part of the college experience is interaction with students form other countries, other ethnicities, even other states. Based on your criteria of who is most qualified (test scores and GPA), they would fill the school with nothing but white females from Florida.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThe complaint is that they accept too many out of state students who don't accept, shutting out in -tate students. Have a wait list and take one student off every time another declines. Other top schools have figured this out. It isn't that hard

I got my degree on line.
I'd rather have an online degree from Cornell than a campus degree from UCF. Of course the degrees don't actually say where you were when you earned a degree so who gives a fuch grampa.
It's too bad we won't have to walk 2 miles in the snow, uphill ( both ways) to University anymore but welcome to the 21st century Pops. It's called the internet . . . Read up on it. It is changing the world.

Take a look at what UCF alumni are accomplishing in Florida.
He must be talking about Cornell College, not Cornell University. Cornell University offers online classes and summer session like most schools. The other option is an executive certificate which is designed to help graduate professionals but assuredly NOT a degree.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis is all fresh at our house because my son just interviewed for a Summer Internship with one of the largest engineering firms in the Tampa Bay Region. He happens to attend UF. He was shuffled around to interview with 5 people: office manager, a few project managers, I.T. director and a field crew foreman. All five commented that they went to UF too.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYes! Watched over a hundred magna cum laude students graduate and only a few attending UF.? In state students admitted to UF but choosing FSU, MIT, Georgia Tech.. over UF , and they applied knowing they weren’t going to ever attend UF. A waiting list might have helped our daughter graduating with a 4.5 who was denied but who did want to attend UF.

The whole thing is weird. Students rejected at FSU got into UF and same at UCF. Their must be some diversity or money factors coming into which tiers they are in before their names get picked like in a lottery. UCF has a mean 4.0 admittance GPA so students with 4.4 are there too to keep up the mean.
