im gonna try to apply to honors at the end of first year cuz the admission stats for entering as a first year are insane. 4.7 GPA?!?!?!
Will we know honors decisions today too? Or does that come a little later?
Yes, honors program will be part of the decision.

Students admitted to Honors will find out on their letter.

So how does the decision work. Do we see it when we log in, or do we have to click an update or something?
Im guessing it’ll say something along the lines of “Status update” and then you click on the link which will either send you to an acceptance or rejection letter
That was another false statement by nanosec not backed up with any data, UF not investing. Your point is valid along as is the fact that in 2017 UF announced that it was hiring an additional 500 faculty to further teaching and research. This initiative will get the student to faculty ratio to 15:1, the same as University of Michigan’s. But UF doesn’t invest…
@Melissa96 are you allowed to tell if UF will be making more or less summer/fall offers than last year?

@user82639654 exactly. Last year, the acceptance letter had confetti mixed with Gator logos when opened.

I gotta ask you. Was there really a scenario where you would have chosen each of those 14 colleges? Is it a matter of financial aid/scholarships?
And with the new campus, the Honors Program will only become more competitive. We were told that the 2024 honors class had 25% of acceptances with perfect SAT/ACT scores. My son says he is surrounded by wicked smart students many of whom turned down top 20 schools to go to UF. He quickly learned the value of early registration at a large state university with limited seating. A top GPA, stellar test scores and solid EC’s are table stakes. The essays make the difference. Hope everything works out for you as planned.

OSU is ahead of UF in business, UF is ahead in engineering. It just depends which program. But all around they’re about the same, I don’t think you can say one is a “hands down better school”. The student stats are similar too as I previously posted. I tend to agree with nanosec that UF is going the wrong way with forced online classes.
Actually yes but only because regular life calls and I have much needed doctor’s appointment otherwise there is no leaving early on decision day (or next week)

How do you determine that OSU is ahead in business and UF is ahead in engineering?
My daughter applied 21. Some you knew had good aid. Florida State, South Carolina, Alabama, Arizona.
Some you hoped would give aid - but didn’t - Maryland, Pitt.
Your stretch schools - Emory, Rice, Washington & Lee (who has the best aid btw).
So many colleges waive the application fee. So many essays are similar enough. So many allow you to self report tests. So in many cases it wasn’t a lot more effort.
So why wouldn’t you apply to more? And you know what - with every good schools applications way up - people did.
Because there’s not 30% more students, etc.
Everyone has different reasons for applying - some is rank, some is money, some is fit, etc.
But this year it’d be silly not to apply to more. So many people you read “assumed” an admission or “assumed” financial aid that does not exist.
You have to make this non-emotional.
My daughter will check out FSU and UF (if we get in) on Spring Break. UF hit for various reasons - including OOS tuition is reasonable.
I hope she gets in and loves it. But if she doesn’t, because she did apply to so many others, she has options.
