Hi -Does anyone have information regarding the appeal process at UF ? I know it opens March 1 but what type of info is required & the essay required is there a word count ? Also is there a sample application posted somewhere?
Thanks for the help
Can my application be reviewed again?
Each application is reviewed at least twice and more often three or four times by the admissions committee using a holistic review process. Due to the thoroughness of our application review process, it is unusual for us to reverse an admission decision. We will consider an appeal only if it reveals new and compelling information. See below for possible reasons for appeal and any additional documentation needed:
Grade Change — one or more of your grades from 9-11 has changed resulting in a higher core GPA
Supporting documentation
Appeal letter written by the student
Official high school and/or dual enrollment transcript(s)
Medical — a medical condition, illness, or surgery that negatively impacted your academic performance
Supporting documentation
Appeal letter written by the student
Documentation from health care provider outlining the severity and duration of the medical condition
Life Circumstance — a life event or situation that negatively impacted your academic performance
Supporting documentation
Appeal letter written by the student
Optional: letter of explanation corroborating circumstances from school counselor (not a general recommendation letter)
Documented Disability — A documented disability (physical, sensory, psychological, developmental, learning, neurological or other impairments) which impacts your opportunities to equitably engage in the learning environment and/or limits your participation in extracurricular activities.
Supporting documentation
Appeal letter written by the student
Disability documentation, which may include psychoeducational evaluations, educational or medical records, reports and assessments created by health care providers, school psychologists, or teachers. The documentation should be inclusive of information from a licensed professional outlining the disability’s impact on learning.
Omitted Information — critical information was not included in your original application
Supporting documentation
Appeal letter written by the student
Information Not Considered
:
Appeals written by someone other than the applicant
Letters of recommendation
Test scores received after the decision was released
Mid-year senior grades
Additional activities, honors, or awards earned after applying
Interviews or meeting with admissions staff in person
Strong desire to attend Florida
How to appeal:
If you have new and compelling information that was not included in your original application, please contact the Office of Admissions at freshman@admissions.ufl.edu or 352-392-1365 to discuss the appeals process and request an appeal form.
For those who requested to appeal, appeal forms will be available beginning March 1. Appeals must be received by April 1 for November 1 applicants and April 15 for space-available applicants.
Please allow two to four weeks for an appeal decision to be made once the appeal is submitted. The appeal will be reviewed by the Undergraduate Appeals Committee and the decision is final.
Is there a word count for the appeal letter like the application essay ?
Don’t know, sorry. 
Read my post under UF appeal successful. We appealed and were admitted today.
