How the UF rate is worked out

UF publishes its own admissions numbers for the Class of 2030 (2026 entering class): 2,390 applicants, 93 enrolled. 93 divided by 2,390 is 3.9%. Source

The school does not publish how many offers it made, so this counts students who enrolled. The share offered a seat is somewhat higher, because some admitted applicants go elsewhere.

UF DAT scores and GPA

UF reports an average DAT Academic Average of 470 (Class of 2030, new DAT scale (23 on the old scale)). The average DAT Total Science score was 480. These are on the DAT's newer three-digit score scale, so they can't be compared directly with the older 1 to 30 scores. Source

UF reports an average overall GPA of 3.91 (Class of 2030). The average science GPA was 3.87. Source

These describe admitted students, not cutoffs. See how they compare across schools in our average GPA for dental school guide, and work out your own with our AADSAS GPA calculator.
