Benacquisto is guaranteed for any accepted NMF as long as they list UF (or other school with Benacquisto, i.e. UCF, FSU, USF, etc…) as #1 before the deadline which I believe for most is May 31st.
Interesting about not being accepted for Honors College though esp because I have one of each. My daughters have a friend at UF who says it’s not really a big deal. The biggest benefit is early registration and that they can always re-apply after completion of Freshman year if they really want to be in the program.
