Sources checked September 11, 2026: UF official admitted-student profile and the August 2026 Bright Futures Student Handbook, Chapter 1: eligibility and Chapter 2: funding. These are admitted-student profiles, not enrolled-class statistics or admission cutoffs.
The reported middle 50% GPA is 4.5 to 4.7, alongside the 1420 to 1520 SAT range. These figures describe admitted students, not every applicant. UF considers the full application, including grades, course rigor and other qualifications.
UF’s admitted middle 50% starts at 1420; roughly a quarter of admitted students scored below that. Reaching a Bright Futures test threshold and earning UF admission are separate goals. For 2027 graduates, the standard SAT thresholds are 1330 for FAS and 1190 for FMS; for 2028 graduates, they are 1350 and 1200. FAS covers 100% and FMS 75% of eligible tuition and applicable fees at UF. GPA, coursework, approved hours, the FFAA and other eligibility conditions also apply. Housing, meals and other costs are separate. Check the requirements for your graduation year and our handbook walkthrough.
UF’s Class of 2030 profile lists 95,986 applicants and 19,012 admits. Strong grades matter, but they do not guarantee an offer. Use the SAT target alongside course rigor, grades and the rest of the application. Do not interpret the GPA range as evidence that grades stop mattering.
The standard first-year route requires an SAT, ACT or CLT score. Review UF’s official requirements for score submission and any alternative pathway that applies to your situation. Eligible students earning a Florida high-school diploma and an A.A. through dual enrollment should check the university’s separate pathway instructions.
Admitted UF students posted a middle 50% SAT of 1420 to 1520 for the 2026 cycle. A quarter of admits scored below 1420 and a quarter above 1520. The lower end of the reported middle 50% rose from 1380 for Fall 2025 to 1420 for 2026. We recommend 1450 as a planning target—not a UF admission requirement or guarantee.
UF reports a GPA range of 4.5 to 4.7 for the cited admitted cohort. This describes the middle of that group, not a minimum for every applicant. Course rigor and grades remain part of admission review. The university’s GPA calculation can differ from a report-card GPA or the Bright Futures GPA.
No. Bright Futures scholarship eligibility and UF admission are separate decisions. A 1330 SAT is 90 points below the lower end of UF’s reported 2026 admitted middle 50%, but that lower end is not an admission cutoff. A diagnostic can help determine the next prep target. Use the correct graduation-year scholarship rules and assess the whole application.
UF currently lists FAS at $214.54 and FMS at $160.90 per registered credit hour. At 30 funded credits, that is an illustrative $6,436.20 for FAS or $4,827.00 for FMS using those published rates. Actual funding depends on eligible credits, fees and award status; housing, meals and other costs are separate. See UF’s Bright Futures award rates and the 2026–27 tuition schedule.
