<p>UF applications surpass last year's 28,000 record</p>

<p>By KRISTEN HUFF, Alligator Contributing Writer</p>

<p>UF received about 27,850 applicants by the November deadline, but students can still apply by March 1, according to Orlando. Those who apply by the second deadline will be informed of their application status in April.</p>

<p>Because all applications have not yet been received, Orlando said, it’s safe to say UF will surpass the 28,000 total applications it received last year.</p>

<p>Orlando attributed the increase in applicants to the state of the economy. Many prospective students who would have looked out of state decided to stay in Florida, he said.</p>

<p>As of Friday, the official number of potential students accepted was not released, but Orlando said it won’t be much different from last year’s 10,600 acceptances.</p>

<p>The Office of Admissions doesn’t release that information until a few days after acceptances have been posted because they’re subject to change right up until 6 p.m., Orlando said. The target size of the freshman class is 6,400 students.</p>

<p>So I could've applied late with a higher GPA, a few extra ECs, and not be penalized for it?</p>

<p>UF ****in' me off right now :mad:</p>

<p>^^^Incorrect.
You could have applied before March 1 only if you have 60 or more credits.</p>

<p>WOW! The Gators are at the top, that is until my LSU Tigers destroy them in Death Valley this year...(Just some fun, don't kill me)</p>

<p>Never ever underestimate Nick Saban. 'Bama should be good this year too, but I'm not sure if they are BCS good, but who knows.</p>

<p>But UF does have a very good shot to run the table, but everyone knows how crazy the SEC is.</p>

<p>i think application numbers to ALL state university systems is at record levels this year (i know this is the case in NY) largly due to economic conditions. Don't get me wrong, UF is great and the sports programs compound many applicants interest in the university, but I think economic is also playing a signiificant role.</p>

<p>I would be shocked if application numbers at all Florida public institutions doesn't show a sharp increase this year and next.</p>

<p>Imagine how high UCLA is going to be this year. Had over 50k last 2 years.</p>

<p>UCLA is a great school</p>
