Separate application for UF honors?

[Anglograce]

Is there a separate app for UF Honors, meaning you get to redo your resume and add things that you maybe couldn’t in your regular application, or is it just a few extra essays with the same resume/info from your regular UF app?

There is a separate app, yes. You can apply after you get in.

You must be invited to apply.

UF has changed it’s process and it’s no longer an invitation vs. petition process.

Any incoming freshman who has been accepted into the University of Florida may apply for the Freshman Honors Program (exception: PaCE/UFOnline). There is no longer an invitation vs. petition process for Honors admission. There is one application that is open to all students.

Thanks @Gator88NE ! I know some senior HS students who will be very happy about that!!! You are a super source of knowledge here for all things UF!!

Interesting factoid: The applications are reviewed by current honor students. They have to take a honor’s class in the Spring to prep for it:

IDH4905 (HNR Admissions)

Students in this class will read the 2500+ application essays from incoming freshmen applying to the Honors Program in spring. We will spend the first half of the term reading old essays and developing rubrics for evaluating the new essays.

Enrollment to this class will be by application only. More information will be included in the Honors Daily.

That is an easy way to cut administrative overhead.
