Hey there, just finished with my common app and I'm looking at University of Florida. I'm trying to get a head start on their application. Can anyone tell me if they require supplemental essays?
For the University of Florida (UF), the application process requires one essay, and has two optional essays.
The main essay question (in the 2024-2025 application cycle) asks students to elaborate on their most meaningful commitment outside of the classroom, be it an extracurricular activity, a job, a family responsibility, or something else. Bear in mind that this essay has a word limit of 100-250 words.

So while the University of Florida may not have traditional supplemental essays, they indeed ask you for an essay as part of their application process. Good luck with your application!
