This was published to Facebook by our school college counselor yesterday. It appears to be be from the Gatortales newsletter that UF admissions sends to guidance counselors.
"As we look toward the 2019-20 academic year, I wanted to share a couple updates for next year’s application.
Starting with the 2019-20 application cycle, the University of Florida will accept both the Common Application and the Coalition Application. As you likely know, we have exclusively taken the Coalition Application the last few years, and look forward to continued partnerships with Coalition for applications and programming aimed at promoting access and student success. We are still finalizing some internal logistics with the Common Application, so you will not yet see this information updated on our admissions website or the Common Application’s website. However, that information will be updated as soon as possible once everything is finalized.
For next year, our admissions notification date will move back to the last Friday in February instead of the second Friday in February. Therefore, the decision notification date for this year will be February 28, 2020. As we continue to see consistent year to year increases in application volume, we believe the additional two weeks to review applications will benefit our review process. Our application deadlines will not change.
As we close the academic year, thank you for all you have done throughout the year to serve your students. We hope you get some much needed rest throughout the summer. We will resume our Gatortales publications in the fall; however, if you have questions throughout the summer, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to seeing all of you this fall as we travel across the state, nation and world."
More competition? More waiting?
Talk amongst yourselves.
