“Early Decision will be implemented for the upcoming admissions cycle and will benefit aspiring, first-time Gators entering during Fall 2027. While applications will open on Aug. 1, the application deadline for Early Decision will be Oct. 15.”
Keep in mind the SAT/ACT test dates. I think the “Materials Deadline” will be Oct 22nd (for ED, Nov 8th for EA and Jan 15th for RD, but you should verify these dates). For example, the September ACT test will likely the be last one you can take (and get results back by Oct 22nd).
SAT:

Good Luck!
GO GATORS!
Sad that this is the direction of the college admissions arms race. ED strongly benefits wealthier families and now top public schools are beginning to offer it. Not a great trend, in my opinion.
