University of Central Florida Admissions

UCF is moderately selective with a 41% acceptance rate, meaning roughly 4 out of 10 applicants get in. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1200-1360 on the SAT or around 27 on the ACT. With nearly 60,000 students enrolled, UCF admits thousands each year but still maintains academic standards. The university draws heavily from Florida, with 92% of students coming from in-state. UCF seeks students who can handle large lecture halls and thrive in a research-focused environment. The school particularly values applicants interested in STEM fields, business, or hospitality management, given its nationally recognized programs in engineering and the Rosen College of Hospitality Management.
