School Explorer — all 82 Florida schools

Every entry is labeled 2026–27 cycle. Where a field could not be verified, the card says “Confirm on the college's official site” — nothing unverified is presented as fact. Deadlines and prompts change; always confirm on the college's official site before you apply.

Sector      

For-profit schools are flagged on their cards and hidden by default until you opt in above. Two for-profit entries (City College and Northbridge University) are marked “sector unconfirmed” in the index itself.

My List & Deadline Calendar

Add schools from the Explorer, tag each reach / match / safety, and your deadlines appear below in chronological order with days-left countdowns. Countdowns are computed from the deadline text in the index (month and day, rolled to the next occurrence if the date already passed); they are a planning aid, not a substitute for the college's official site.

No schools on your list yet — go to School Explorer and tap “Add to my list.”

Upcoming deadlines

Essay Tracker

Most colleges' supplemental prompts sit behind the Common App or institutional application login and are not public — so prompts here are entered by you from your own application portal. No prompt has been prefilled from an unverified source. The one exception noted in the index: UF's “most meaningful commitment” prompt was corroborated by secondary guides only, not found on UF's official page — it is shown as a hint on UF's slot, not prefilled, and you should confirm it on the official site.

Recommendation Tracker

Track who you asked, for which school, and whether their letter is requested or submitted. Recommendation requirements vary by school — check each school's card in the Explorer; where the index could not verify a requirement, it says so.

Financial Aid Checklists

Checklists only — this planner does not estimate aid and does not promise any award. Per-school FAFSA priority dates were unverified for 81 of 82 schools in the index, so no per-school FAFSA date is shown here: file early and check each school's and the state's deadlines.

FAFSA — studentaid.gov

CSS Profile — cssprofile.collegeboard.org

Florida Bright Futures — floridabrightfutures.gov

Bright Futures award levels, GPA, service-hour, and test-score thresholds change by year and are not hard-coded here. Confirm current requirements on the official site — the steps below point you there.

Bright Futures Checklist

Track the steps for Florida's Bright Futures Scholarship. This checklist does not judge eligibility: award requirements change by class year, so confirm the current requirements on the official site.

Two things families mix up: the FFAA is not the FAFSA. Filing the FAFSA does not apply you for Bright Futures, and the FAFSA is not required for Bright Futures eligibility, but it helps with other aid. And the deadline is strict: missing the August 31 FFAA deadline means no award even with a strong record.

The two tiers: Florida Academic Scholars covers 100% of tuition and applicable fees. Florida Medallion Scholars covers 75%.

CLEP Credit — Earn College Credit by Exam

Free information, no signup. This planner does not track any school's CLEP policy, so confirm with the college before counting on credit.

CLEP is the College-Level Examination Program, run by the College Board. One exam can replace an introductory college course at a school that accepts it. There are 34 exams, covering subjects like College Algebra, Biology, American History, and Spanish.

How it works

  1. Pick an exam from the College Board list.
  2. Register through the College Board and choose a test center or remote proctoring.
  3. Take the exam and send your scores to the college.
  4. The college posts the credit if your score meets its policy.

What to know

  • Scores run from 20 to 80. The ACE recommended credit score is 50 for most exams. Level 2 language exams are higher: French 59, German 60, Spanish 63, Spanish with Writing 65. A college may require a higher score than the recommendation, so 50 is not a promise.
  • Most exams are worth 3 semester hours. Some are worth more: College Composition 6, Calculus 4, Level 2 languages 9, Spanish with Writing Level 2 12.
  • Fee: $97 per exam plus the test center's own fee, or $30 for remote proctoring.
Florida angle: Florida's public colleges and universities are required to award the minimum recommended CLEP credit, up to 45 total credit-by-exam credits, under Florida Statute 1007.27 and the Articulation Coordinating Committee equivalencies. Private and out-of-state schools set their own policy and may award nothing.

Decision Tracker & Aid-Offer Comparison

One row per listed school. Net price = cost of attendance minus grant/scholarship aid you enter — a comparison aid, not an official award letter. Always compare against the college's actual offer.

ACT, CLT & SAT Math Practice

Original practice material written for this planner — not official College Board, ACT, or CLT content. Calculator allowed throughout, as on the digital SAT. Plain-text notation is used (^, sqrt(), a/b, pi).

Free sampler — 10 questions

A representative set across all four domains. Free, no signup.

Full bank — 500 questions 🔒 Pack

Timed module mirrors the digital SAT module length (22 questions, 35 minutes). It is a practice format, not the official exam.

Mr. Martinez

Why I built this

Hi, I'm Mr. Martinez. I'm a Florida-certified math teacher with 19 years in the classroom, and I built this planner for one simple reason: applying to college has become a project, and families are mostly left to manage it alone.

A private college counsellor typically costs thousands of dollars. Most families don't need someone to choose their colleges for them. They need the deadlines in one place, the essays tracked, the recommendations followed up, and the financial aid steps — including Florida's Bright Futures — handled before anything gets missed.

So this planner puts 82 Florida colleges in one list, with the planning tools around them, and math practice banks for the SAT, ACT, and CLT built for it. No accounts, no sales calls — just the work, organized.
