a serious question... what admissions standards does UCF have regarding GPA and SAT scores? I always heard it was pretty low at South Florida. Is central florida any different?

State of Florida is full of talented kids. Some of which are football smart and academically weak.

For incoming freshmen, the acceptance rate is 46%, average GPA is a 3.8, and SAT scores would place it in the middle of the SEC (avg is 1248/1837). Virtually identical stats to FSU too, but we reject more people.

UCF's numbers come from the massive number of transfers from community colleges (now "State" colleges in Florida) and satellite campuses. Our president wanted to quickly expand the university, and we did it by accepting transfers. I wish it wasn't the case, but it is what it is.
