Asian is a very broad term that covers anyone basically from India to China. Indians, Chinese, Japanese and South Koreans tend to be very academically driven and apply to many of the country's top schools. They are often over represented at some schools relative to their %age of the general population. African Americans are often under-represented at many schools relative to their %age of the general pop.

What is the % of Asians in the general Florida and National populations?

Of the 14,176 students admitted, 50.6 percent (7,169) are white. Hispanic made up the largest minority group admitted at 17.9 percent (2,543), followed by African-American at 5.5 percent (779) and American Indian at .0005 percent (8). Asian students made up 10.3 percent (1,459) of admitted students, though UF did not classify Asians in its overall number of minority students (3,330), which accounted for 23.4 percent of admissions.

So Hispanic is a minority group but Asian is not considered a minority group by UF admission reported data.

Asians only make up 2.5% of Florida and 5% of the entire US, so any idea they could take up a significant % of overall college spots is incorrect. Sure they are over represented on some campuses (MIT, Stanford, GaTech, etc), but population numbers would tell you they must be near missing at many other places.

Admittance does not mean enrolled.

Since the Coalition App was implemented the number of black students admitted to UF has gone down. The biggest difference is the number of out-of-state students admitted as freshman has gone up. Keep in mind admitted is different than the actual percent that enroll. If only 5.5% of those who were admitted are black the number who actually enroll for fall 2019 will be less.

"The University of Florida released more figures regarding the diversity, socioeconomic and geographic breakdown of students admitted to the 2023 class on Wednesday.

Close to 25 percent of students admitted were minorities, though the percentage of African-American students admitted (5.5 percent) was lower than UF’s current enrollment percentage of African-American students (7.2 percent).

Last fall, UF received an F grade for racial equity in a USC study, based on class of 2016-17 African-American student enrollment (6.1 percent) being below the percentage of African-Americans ages 18 to 24 within the state of Florida (21.5 percent).

UF senior political science major and NAACP student president Ashley Marceus said the 2023 admissions figures were disheartening, but not surprising. Marceus said that while UF is trying the solve the problem cosmetically with pictures around campus, it has been unable to get to the root cause of why it has been unable to attract and enroll more African-American students.

“It’s really, really apparent that this is predominantly a white institution when you walk around campus,” Marceus said. “So I think on the surface UF is making it seem it’s an issue it wants to resolve, but as the numbers are showing, it’s not an issue they are going to try to fix directly. It’s going to try to fix it cosmetically, from the surface.”

UF school spokesman Steve Orlando said that by law, the school cannot use race or ethnicity to determine admissions.

“We try to make other efforts, to make the campus a welcoming place to everyone,” Orlando said. “We are trying to make the effort there and we know that there’s more work that needs to be done.”

Of the 14,176 students admitted, 50.6 percent (7,169) are white. Hispanic made up the largest minority group admitted at 17.9 percent (2,543), followed by African-American at 5.5 percent (779) and American Indian at .0005 percent (8). Asian students made up 10.3 percent (1,459) of admitted students, though UF did not classify Asians in its overall number of minority students (3,330), which accounted for 23.4 percent of admissions.

Gender-wise, UF’s 2023 admissions class is 60 percent female (8,503) and 40 percent male (5,673).

Orlando said the overall diversity numbers are in line with trends that UF has seen in recent years.

In the geographic breakdown, 40.5 of students admitted (5,764) are confirmed from Florida, while 24.2 percent (3,436) have a residency status that’s undetermined. There were 35.1 percent (4.976) admitted from outside the state, though that number could change because it includes admitted students who have not submitted the necessary information to be classified as a Florida resident.

“We are attracting more students from outside the state, which is in line with recent trends,” Orlando said.

In the socio-economic breakdown, 18.9 pecent (2,684) of students admitted are first generation students, while 17.1 percent (2,419) come from single-parent households. Low income students made up 12.5 percent (1,779) of the class, while 2.8 percent of students (396) admitted came from low income schools.

You seem to be very good at cutting and pasting without showing any substance. Again, if you want to even attempt to show the coalition is having any real effect, you would need to have several years of statistics presiding the Coalition and then several year after. All these cut and past show is that you know how left click on a link and then right click on what you highlight. You have made no point or shared anything of interest.

UF, FSU, USF and UCF are reporting 20% or higher in first generation freshman admittance. They could be admitting the same students.

Admission vs enrollment are two distinct data points. Read an interesting article regarding the difference in GPA and Scores for admitting vs enrollment. Wish I could find it as it was very well written. Schools rush out these announcement about their Freshman class admitted but you have to wait until after March to get the real picture. Many higher tier students apply to schools as their plan B while waiting on their first choices.

Great, Do you have a good Chili Recipe?

Great, Do you have a good Chili Recipe?

UF and FSU will take every student who submitted the Coalitiion App who has a 4.8 and 1450 to make their admittance chili look the best. Many colleges share those same hot peppers in their admittance freshman class figures but then the hot peppers have to pick one of the colleges to attend. FSU admitted over 19,000 freshman but expects to enroll 6,200 freshman.
The chili mix that actually enrolls is a little lower quality. It is a science and art to get the chili just the right mix of diversity of race, gender, income, first generation, and uniqueness.

College coaches each make their special chili teams and get a mix of products. It is an art and science.

Freshman year is when most girls go wild. First year away from overbearing mommy and they let loose. Let them enjoy college, drinking, guys and even other girls

Here's something not many think about when it comes to college - mental health. If you have a child who already has mental health issues then you want to make sure they will get the support the need. But a lot of kids get slammed with things like anxiety and depression for the first time in college. Also, make sure you have a few references for local doctors/hospitals in case campus health isn't what your child needs. For athletes you should have a good orthopedist in the area. S*it happens. Mine had two serious injuries freshman year and his roommate was misdiagnosed for strep by campus health which then turned into mono.

But not soccer players because there is a zero tolerance policy.
