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.

The only way I see UCF advancing to become anything beyond what it is now would be the advent of 16 team superconferences. If that happens, the AAC would be the first conference plucked for members.

For reference, the current and future members are: UCF, Cincinnati, UConn, Houston, Louisville, Memphis, USF, SMU, Temple, and soon to be ECU, Tulane, and Tulsa. (Current member Rutgers is going to the Big Ten)

To get to four 16 school conferences, this group would have to be raided. Louisville would be the prize in this group, but after them you have to think UCF has the best shot of any of them to get a good spot.

Without the move to 16 team superconferenes, UCF is stuck as is...a good mid major football program.
