i know UF charges 8k/yr for in state. what about out of state, is it really over 35k? if so, UF is a rip off. only a private school has any business charging that much. i know rankings dont matter, but they did fall from #6 to #11. and yes, i was rejected by UF so im totally hating on them. however, with out of state tuition being that much i wouldnt have went there anyway since i got other offers.😎

So why do you care? Does the troll need feeding?

does the troll need feeding? what does that mean? 1,035 posts, how many years did it take you to get in, if you actually really did that is.

yea, UF's tuition for out of state students is high, but so is everywhere else. the only reason that i didn't go to UNC, was that the tuition was over 20,000 more than at UF.

UF is a state school, hence it preferentially chooses IN-STATE students since it's funded with STATE money. They usually only take 3-6 out of state students each year and they usually have around 4.0 gpa's and near perfect PCAT's. Most state schools work this way. Rankings are bogus so that means nothing. I think they're laughable. I've met great students from "non-ranked" schools and not so great students at "ranked" schools. There are many factors that go into education and the bottom-line is that students should choose where they go on many factors.

BTW, If you weren't going to go if you got in then why did you apply and why did you waste your time being bitter and "hating on UF?"

Although I am studying in CC. I applied to UF last year when I was in highschool and I was accepted with not a damn scholarship while tuition fee was >30k. Most in state students attending UF with a bright future program, thus it degrades international students' chance to get any scholarship at school.

The Bright Futures scholarship is a state sponsored scholarship, not school sponsored. Taxpayers fund the state universities so it would makes sense that they admit a majority of students from that state. If you want an out of state school to throw money at you, excel in a sport, become a national merit scholar etc. Nothing worth getting is easily gotten!

It looks like you don't understand the purpose of state/public colleges and universities. Their job is to offer opportunities to residents of that state. Fees you would be charged as an international student are probably the same as what would be charged to any out-of-state student. You're not an in-state student, so you really shouldn't have "...chance(s) to get any scholarship...." at a state-run public institution; there is no "degrading" of your chance because of Bright Futures--- you're not entitled to that chance.

Market yourself to a private institution. They may be more interested in you.

well i know UF has a prestigious COP, i just thought the out of state tuition was unreasonable. i already understand the reasoning of why it's higher than in-state.

if it was you say it it, 30k, then yeah, thats really high. higher than i would have ever expected. but thats why they only admit like 10 students from out of state... because they need to accept in state students. thats just the way it is. and im very fortunate because of it. you need to see if your state pharmacy school will accept you.... chances are, you have a better chance there than anywhere else.
