Looked on UF website and application portal - no recommendations from high school teachers and counselors required? Trying to confirm.
Thanks!
Yeppers!
No recs required or accepted.
As a freshman, you apply to the university, not to a college. In other words, pick any major, it has no impact on admissions.
They also don’t want your transcripts. You have to fill out the SSAR, and submit your SAT/ACT test scores (before the end of December). If you’re accepted, UF will require your transcripts.
SAT Subject test and AP test scores are also not consider during admissions (though they are used to earn college credit and for class placement).
Thanks Gator88NE! We have everything ready to go, will submit in the next few weeks (after gpa recalculation takes place). A little worried about Freshman Resume section, not sure how elaborate should one be? For example should elaborate on a program that prepared for university experience or just list a program?
Feel free to elaborate, if you have the space. However, you don’t have to use 100% of the space! Have you gone on a tour of UF? If not, you may want to schedule a tour for September or October (and then list that on your form, even if it’s just “scheduled”).
Good Luck!
Yes, visited in January, loved it!
