Students are
often curious and sometimes anxious about the selection process for the
Cambridge Program. Rightly so. But there are actually no mysteries
involved. Acceptance is based on traditional academic criteria, the
same considerations used elsewhere at the University of Florida for admittance
to academic Programs, Departments, and Colleges and for Undergraduate Fellowships
and Awards. Selection is made without concern for race, religion,
national origin, gender, age, or any similar consideration. Selections
are made by the Director and Academic Advisor of the Cambridge Program
on the basis of academic potential and academic merit. Every effort
is taken to make fair selections. If you wish to discuss the criteria
please do not hesitate to contact the Director of the Program or the Program
Academic Advisor. The following guidelines do not appear in ranked
order:
-
Academic Year (Sophomore, Junior, Senior)
-
Grade Point Average (Traditionally,
3.0 GPA)
-
Personal Statement (judged on form,
content, persuasiveness, creativity, etc.)
-
Letters of Recommendation (from academic
faculty)
-
Other academic, intellectual, &
institutional factors as appropriate
