You are correct that I miswrote. I meant that I would assume out acceptance rate would have been in the 10-15% range, not 40%! If you need almost a 4.0 nowadays, I can’t believe that we don’t have more rejections.

(Crabbe) Jerry, I think you're reading it backwards, our rejection rate is 60%. The article says that less than 40% were admitted.

(Crabbe) I don’t understand how 40% are rejected when the average is so high? Do they say that if your average is less than a 3.9, you need not apply? How is it that our rejection rate is not much higher?

By <mailto:[email protected]> Nathan Crabbe Gainesville Sun Staff Writer Published: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 at 6:01 a.m. Last Modified: Monday, February 16, 2009 at 10:42 p.m. On the eve of his 18th birthday, Jake Yap got an early present Saturday when he learned that he was accepted into the University of Florida. Yap is a senior in the International Baccalaureate program at Eastside High School in Gainesville, boasts a 4.85 weighted grade-point average and holds leadership roles in multiple student clubs. One might expect him to be a shoo-in for admission into UF, but he said that friends with similar credentials were denied. "It's pretty tough," he said. "UF rejected people that I wasn't expecting." Last week, UF posted admission decisions online for nearly 27,000 high school students hoping to enroll at the university. Less than 40 percent, or about 10,000 students, were admitted to start as freshmen in the summer or fall terms. _____ Access 350+ FREE radio stations anytime from anywhere on the web. <http://toolbar.aol.com/aolradio/download.html?ncid=emlweusdown00000035> Get the Radio Toolbar! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
