University of Florida Admissions

University of Florida is selective with a 23.35% acceptance rate, meaning about 1 in 4 applicants gets in. This makes UF one of the most competitive public universities in the country. Students need strong test scores, with the middle 50% scoring between 1300-1490 on the SAT or around a 31 on the ACT. The school draws mostly Florida residents (81.21% in-state), but competition is fierce for both in-state and out-of-state spots. UF wants students who can handle rigorous academics at a major research university while contributing to campus life. They look for high achievers who thrive in large, energetic environments and want access to top programs without private school costs.
