Getting in

Published acceptance rate40% · 24%

Listed University of Central Florida first, then University of Florida. Acceptance rate is the school's overall published figure — your student's own odds depend on their transcript, scores, and high school.

After graduation — federal data

Median earnings, 10 yrs out$58,308 · $71,588
Graduate in four years55% · 76%
Typical graduate's own federal debt$18,190 · $15,000

Again University of Central Florida first. The four-year graduation rate matters more than it looks: a fifth year is a fifth year of paying.

These are averages. Your family isn't average.
