<p>(LAKEWOOD RANCH, FL) &#8211; Early decisions for colleges are coming up. Seniors can apply for early admissions that gives them a chance to get accepted into that certain college earlier.</p>
<p>According to forbes.com college blogger <a href="http://forbes.com/sites/stevecohen">Steve Cohen</a>, seniors are only allowed to apply at one college for early decision, if accepted they must attend.</p>
<p>Cohen said, &#8220;In exchange for an early application &#8211; and a professed expression of singular interest &#8211; colleges let kinds know early in the senior year of high school whether they&#8217;ve been accepted. This spared the lucky ones an eight-month ordeal of waiting.&#8221;</p>
<p>Cohen says this year&#8217;s admissions acceptance rate is slightly lower at most colleges due to the number of slots reserved for upcoming freshman.</p>
<p>Some seniors have already gotten their acceptance letters from Florida colleges. &#8220;I am so excited to be accepted to UCF,&#8221; says senior Andie Tradler.</p>
<p>Seniors must have taken the SAT/ACT tests and have four years of math and english, three years of science and social studies, two years of a foreign language to be able to be accepted into a university.</p>
<p>General admission requirements for Florida schools include residency for tuition purposes, proof of immunization, computer requirement and student classification for admission.</p>
