<p>When do you have to tell them you'll be attending for sure? The other Florida state universities won't notify until the end of November (FSU) or even February 15th for UF. Will UCF wait that long?</p>
<p>May 1st is the deadline for notification, if it’s the same as last year. Now, with regards to merit awards – don’t know about other kinds – you have to let them know something: either accept, decline, or defer … which allows you to wait until later.</p>
