University News:

Undergraduate student expansion beginning with the Class of 2026. The undergraduate student body will increase in size by 500 undergraduate students (approx. 10%), with 125 additional per class for the next four years. Two new residential colleges, one of which was recently named Yeh College, will open in time for this upcoming academic year. The University plans to begin work on Hobson College, which will be the first residential college at Princeton named for a Black woman, in 2023. 

Princeton trustees set 2022-23 budget, increasing student financial support by 10%. The trustees of Princeton University have adopted an operating budget for the university totaling $2.66 billion for 2022-23, which includes a 6.6% increase to $217.4 million in the undergraduate financial aid budget to continue to ensure that a Princeton education is accessible for every admitted student. Total support for undergraduate and graduate students will increase by 10% and exceed $500 million. 

Princeton will significantly expand its transfer admission program over the next few years, gradually increasing from the 40 transfer students currently enrolled to approximately 100. The university reinstated its transfer program in 2018 to support the enrollment of more undergraduates from first-generation, lower-income, military, or community college backgrounds. 

Faculty approve academic minors at Princeton. Princeton University students will be able to pursue minor courses of study outside of their primary discipline beginning in fall 2023. At present, Princeton offers 54 interdisciplinary undergraduate certificate programs that function, in practice, as minors. Princeton also offers 36 concentrations for major studies.

Admission Updates:

Princeton will no longer publish admitted student data on decision release days. Princeton has made the decision not to release admission data during the early action, regular decision, and transfer admission cycles. Instead, the university will publish an announcement later in 2022 that focuses on the enrolled students who will join Princeton as the Class of 2026. The university will continue to report aggregate data about the admission cycle each year in the Common Data Set and to the state and federal governments. The admission rate is — and will continue to be — available through sources like the U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard. Please read a recent blog post by Dean Richardson for more information.

Our combined vaccination rate for students, faculty, and staff is over 96 percent.

The category of “approved visitors” has been expanded to include prospective undergraduate students and their families.

On-campus information sessions will return this summer; please visit our website for more information.

Needed: SPARK (self-reported grades), official test scores

Needed: holistic review, upload list of activities (resume), upload essay

Application Cycle Overview

This year we received just shy of 67,000 applications, which is a slight increase over last year. As in the past, most applicants showed the potential for success at UF, and many more were recommended for admission than we have space to admit. There were some extremely difficult decisions to make, but we are very excited about those that will be joining the Gator Nation!

Admissions offers were made to approximately 15,600 students to start on campus in the Summer B or Fall term. Admitted students had the following middle 50% range:

• GPA: 4.4 – 4.6 (weighted recalculation)
• SAT: 1340 – 1490
• ACT: 30 – 34

While these numbers reflect the quality of the class, we use a holistic review process and no student is admitted or denied based on any single factor.

Approximately 4,500 students will be receiving an offer to our Pathway to Campus Enrollment (PaCE), Innovative Academy (IA), or state college partnership programs. 

Denied Students

Due to the competitiveness of the application pool, there will be many excellent students receiving denial decisions. While we know there will be a short-term disappointment, we feel confident these students will excel and do great things at another college or university.

Any denied freshman applicant who will be completing an Associate of Arts (AA) degree at the time of high school graduation may request to be considered as a transfer student. If a student opts into the transfer process, they will be reviewed using the transfer requirements determination by the college and major to which they are applying.

We always encourage students who are still interested in UF to consider transferring after earning an AA degree or 60 hours of credit. While this is not the right path for every student, there are students who enroll every year as transfer students who were not initially admitted as first-year students.

Follow-Up Questions

As in the past years, we anticipate large volumes of calls and emails in the delays after we release admissions decisions. It is best for students and parents to contact us via our main phone number 352-392-1365 or our online contact form.

Students who missed the main application deadline or the deadlines for SSAR/test score submission will be considered on a space-available basis. Any student with a complete application by March 1 will receive an admissions decision on March 25.
