Out of curiosity, what changed in your app from last year to this year?

when did you apply last year and to how many schools?
did you get any interviews?

as you probably already know, UF is extremely competitive
applying earlier will help with your FL schools, but you probably need to apply more broadly to give yourself the best chance...

I agree, what OOS would you recommend I look at?
