Is there a different application for that, or does the general application suffice for merit opps?

22

The general application is used - Merit is evaluated among the students being offered admission.

Do individual admissions officers have enough pull to get one applicant in? A girl in my daughter’s OOS school is saying her family knows someone in UF admissions and they told her she can get in if she shows demonstrated interest, so she’s visiting this weekend. There are a lot of stronger students applying from our school - better grades, more rigor, and stronger extracurriculars. Would she be admitted over over students because her family knows someone in admissions?

No, UF doesn’t even use demonstrated interest in admissions. Certainly you can advocate for a student but that doesn’t mean they are actually going to make it through all of the committees we have when we are evaluating applicants.
