They are asking for an essay but they didnt mention the word limit. What do you guys recommend? I was thinking about 700 words....too short?

Thanks!

im pretty sure mine was a page. not positive though. I believe as long as you get down all your ideas in a cohesive paper and it sounds good length doesnt matter as much.

I received the same e-mail, I'm nervous now. Maybe I'll give them a call tomorrow.

*edit* I just checked their website, they only give out secondaries to select applicants. I hope I get one.

I have had no contact regarding a secondary. This is what I got:

We have received your application and are currently in the process of reviewing it. The Admissions Office will contact you directly if there is additional information required.

From what I read on their website: if they want you to fill out a secondary, they'll give it to you.

oh dont worry! i just checked the email that i got before my secondary email. The email that you guys are referring to is the initial email.you should receive an email regarding a secondary in 2 weeks or so.🙂 dont worry

UF will send an email inviting you to an interview. The email will have your interview date and a link to your secondary application that you're supposed to fill out before your interview date. Oh, when you get the secondary application, be ready to write another essay. The topic is something along: Please tell us about yourself; your accomplishments, goals, hobbies, etc. Basically, another essay where you mention stuff NOT in your AADSAS. Good luck!

Just so people know, this doesn't have to be the case. They sent me the secondary application a while ago and no interview invitation as of yet.

if i remember correctly, florida residents get the supplementary at the same time as the invite. out of staters get the supplementary, and then may get an interview... good luck!

Sorry to bump an old thread, but has anyone heard of applicants getting interviews without filling out the secondary application?

I got my interview invite 3 days before my interview so i didnt have to fill my secondary until after the interview. I think that even if you interview before submiting your secondary, you still have to eventually turn it in in order to be conseidered.
