Early Decision at UF and FSU (Part 2)

Should you apply ED to Florida or Florida State? A few weeks ago I wrote a post about the new, binding Early Decision plans for UF and FSU. I thought this graphic was super helpful! It is going to be so very interesting to see how the admit rates from early decision compare to early action. There are so many valuable points in the picture below. 

I love the pro tip at the end that talks about the fact that you could apply ED to Florida and EA to Florida state. The reverse holds true for applying ED to FSU and EA to Florida. ED is most definitely for students who have a strong number one preference for one of these two schools and are competitive applicants. They need to be 100% ready to retract all of their other applications and attend the university when they are admitted through early decision. 

As a reminder: ED applications are due on 10/15 for both schools, and early action (non binding) applications are due on 11/1 for UF and 10/15 for FSU (like it has always been). FSU will let students update their admissions portal with new SAT or ACT scores until December 1, and decisions for ED and EA will come out for FSU on 12/17. On the other hand, UF will not accept test scores after 10/22 for ED or 11/8 for EA. Decisions will be released on 12/11 for UF ED and 1/22 for UF EA.
