Hey all! I'm looking into the University of North Florida, and just trying to get a feel for how selective they are. Does anyone know what their acceptance rate is or what their admission process looks like?
The University of North Florida (UNF) has an acceptance rate of approximately 71%, suggesting that the school is moderately selective. Please keep in mind that the acceptance rate is just one factor and admission is not solely based on that.
For admission, the university checks for a few specific metrics: high school GPA, the rigors of your high school coursework, and your SAT/ACT scores. UNF looks for students with a GPA of 3.9 on a 4.0 scale, but they have been known to accept students with a lower GPA if other aspects of the application are strong.
For your standardized test scores, the average SAT scores for incoming students are 1130-1300 (for the 1600 version) and for the ACT 23-29. Note that while these are the average scores, they are not strict cut-offs and students both above and below these averages are accepted.
One crucial element of UNF's admission process is that they do review applications holistically. This means while your academic performance is important, they also consider your personal essays, extracurricular involvement, community service, leadership experiences, and work experience to gain a better understanding of you as an individual.
I hope this information was helpful. Good luck with your college application journey!
