Reporting years are not verified for every imported field. Historical averages are not current prices or aid offers; public net-price averages may cover in-state students. The four-year scenario assumes unchanged cost and aid, excluding inflation and loan interest.
Application scope: UF: 2026–27 first-year application plans. FSU: first-year application page checked below; the page does not explicitly label its entry year.
UF lists binding Early Decision, non-binding Early Action, and non-binding Regular Decision for 2026–27. The application deadlines are October 15, November 1, and January 15 respectively, with separate materials deadlines. Read the conditions before choosing a binding plan. Official source: University of Florida application plans.
FSU reserves Early Action for Florida residents and lists October 15 as its application deadline. Its binding Early Decision option has separate eligibility restrictions, including exclusions for talent-based majors and CARE Summer Bridge. Confirm the entry year and required materials before relying on these dates. Official source: Florida State eligibility and timing.
If comparing aid offers is essential, review the non-binding options and run both calculators before committing. Keep residency documentation, major requirements, admission materials, scholarships, and financial-aid deadlines as separate checklist items.

Campus admission rates are historical context, not personal admission probabilities.
Open both official calculators above using the same household information. Compare grants, annual out-of-pocket cost, borrowing and renewal conditions. Historical net price is context, not your offer.
Work through the affordability checklist →The six-year rate describes an institution-level historical cohort. It does not predict your outcome or necessarily describe transfer, part-time or major-specific experiences. Ask each college about completion in your major, advising, required course availability and support.
Understand the cohort and data limitations →Saved categories start as target placeholders; they do not assess personal admission chances. Explore academic fit or check affordability.
