This my daughter cannot get into UF living here in Florida. She has good grades and good test scores but not great. There are kids in her grade (one of the best public school) in Florida with great grades and test scores not getting in. We have no option but to go out of state unless we want her at USF, UCF, or UNF. We are looking all around the south and have a few places we have targeted further away.

Florida, and FSU to an extent, are insanely hard to get into these days. My daughter was rejected from UF, but was accepted to Georgetown, Colgate, Swarthmore, Carleton, and Davidson.

Happened to my daughter many years ago in Georgia. UGA turned her down but she had been accepted at Georgia Tech three weeks before. She and her mother kept the Tech thing a secret cause I would have said screw Dawgs earlier. No one knew about UGA turning her down and there was no reason to tell anyone, but I told a couple of friends and they couldn’t believe it. Her personality and work acumen ? have made her an all star in life, neither of which can be taught .
My son qualified for UGA and Tech and just about every school in Ga. Chose Ga College and State University and excelled. Computer science. Totally different personality from daughter. The faculty we spoke to were overwhelmed by the quality of students they were getting and never would have seen without the Hope scholarship . A rising tide lifts all boats.
Just my experience
