UF students are among the best in the nation. Approximately 90 percent of all entering freshmen score above the national average on standardized college entrance exams taken by college-bound students. UF ranks second among public institutions in the U.S. (fifth among all) for the number of National Merit Scholars enrolled. Also, UF ranks first among public institutions in attracting National Achievement Scholars during 2002.
UF's freshmen retention rate of 92 percent speaks to the outstanding quality of the university's entire academic experience, from counseling to online programs to aid self-tracking of academic progress and class registration.
