Next batch is February 24th give or take a day. Then March 10th, then March 24th. Stopped checking after that. So far this year, they have released acceptances at the same times as last year so I think the same will hold true for these dates too.

What's up with UF taking so long to even review your application? I have been at "All required documents received" for over a month now....I was accepted to better schools within a week or two of their completion. This is a huge turnoff for UF, their admissions department seems incredibly unorganized

Why do you say that? I applied and heard back from them quickly. The dean called me the day I got admitted.

I've noticed that only three of those who have been accepted on LSN have received scholarships from UF. Maybe they're taking a different approach in offering scholarships after the first batch of acceptances went out? They haven't offered many schollys this year, which is odd.

it's more than 3 ppl that have schollys because more than three people on this website have said it. I have one but I plan on making an account on LSN once my cycle is done.

for those people who are under review how long did it take for you to go from all documents received to under initial review UF is frustrating because all the other florida schools (UM, FSU etc) got back to me within a week UF is my top choice and the application is stuck at all documents received

It took me over a month to finally go under review, despite the other schools in Florida being super quick. But once it finally did the acceptance went out within a week!

It depends on your numbers. It could be a week if you get in under initial review. Or it could be a month if they toss you into comparative review (which they do with virtually everyone).

Yeah we have the same numbers and I went into comparative review.

Wow that's crazy any one else feel like UF is acting too picky? FSU got back to me within a week and a half and UM took four days to make a decision

I'm not sure if it means much going into comparative review. I'm above 75th for both and I was put on comparative review the day after I applied. Then it changed to "decision reached" a few days later, which means acceptance (according to this thread).

eta: acceptance letter came a week after "decision reached"
