Over 50,000 applicants for 6500 spots for 2021
Yikes
so is UF also turning into a dream? 
I’d be surprised if all 50,000 were able to submit scores.

I agree I find it hard to believe that many had test scores

The tone of this sounds like they’ve already made decisions? Have they said when they’re releasing?

A lot of others schools have released earlier than the stated dates. I guess we’ll see.
When I contacted the admission regarding my mid-year report, I was told the decision will be out after 6pm on 2/26.

Not necessarily, unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying. 6500 is the number of students they are hoping to enroll - they will accept more that.

We need to remember that last year they claimed to have received 49,401 applications. They accepted about 14,561 (according to the student newspaper) in order to fill the class of 6500. (Not including 3000 accepted to Pace and 500 to Innovation) So the important question would be, how many applied without scores? There has to be a decent chunk that didn’t have scores. According to the gainesville sun only 48,066 applied by the deadline, not 50,000.

Also, I wonder how the predicted yield this year? Are they expecting more or less to accept their spots?
And I wonder if scores on average will be lower, because many kids couldn’t test multiple times, and/or tested under extra stressful conditions (my D had to travel 2 hours to test, and I’ve heard much worse stories).

At test optional schools, average test scores will go up because people are far more likely to send good scores than bad if given the choice.
At test required schools like Florida, I agree, they are likely to go down because some people did not get to retake. Also, Florida superscores, so almost certainly the average SAT or ACT score will be down this year because there are fewer tests to superscore to come up with your highest test score.

If UF got 49400 apps last year, it doesn’t seem like they got a 15%+ increase this year like UT-Austin and UC schools did. Being TO was a driver of increased apps.
