University of Florida (2022-2023)

[lofty lagoon]

Not financial aid

[oblique badger]

i mean yeah depends on state

[empty patrol]

ig stats don’t mean everything yall (my friend)

[dense plover]

oop

[dense plover]

and yes stats do not mean everything

[empty patrol]

I just thought it was funny tbh

[dense plover]

it b like that

anyone know usual oos cost?

weighing it against what i hv so far

[frigid crescent]

i dont know yet and am still looking into it :0 have you decided yet ???

[red ginkgo]

No clue tbh 😭 I was really bummed out on how I couldn’t get my own bathroom :(

[unique walrus]

j google uf coa

[final pond]

[bitter crane]

uf admissions stats if yall are interested

congrats! 82 percent of the kids admitted are top 10% of the class

3.88 average uw gpa

[dense plover]

Tbh I’m like pretty much In there for every metric except percentile

[dense plover]

Cracked

[bitter crane]

i think FL kids have grad inflation

[dense plover]

Too bad I still prolly hv gt higher

[dense plover]

Maybe

[bitter crane]

1200-1400 50% and 3.88 average uw?

thats so cap

[dense plover]

True

Well governor wants to yeat college board out anyway

[knotty eagle]

They send lower scores to summer session I think

[bitter crane]

kinda surprised the class ranks are that high considering their test scores

interesting

[knotty eagle]

UF is definitely #1 choice for top 5% at my school

It’s too good of a deal to not take for most people

[bitter crane]

yeah its almost free

flordia might have more poorer areas compared to other states

[frigid crescent]

do you atleast know who youre gonna room with yet?? i literally havent thought abt that at all and housing forms are due p soon 🥲

[bitter crane]

is uf your top choice?

[red ginkgo]

THEY ARE!? SO SOON WHAT i havent committed 😭😭😭

[dense plover]

I feel bad for saying this but far from it 😭

Like

T10

[bitter crane]

LOL

dw bro

is it ur current top

[dense plover]

But bc of cost and ig cs I prolly hv vt > anyway

[bitter crane]

?

[dense plover]

Nah

Unless scholarship

[bitter crane]

ahh rip

[dense plover]

45k for uf

30 for vt

Vt seemingly better cs program

UF politics crazy

[bitter crane]

tbf if you went to uf you wouldnt bond with the people very much

[dense plover]

But if I’m getting UF I think I got like Wisconsin

[bitter crane]

i feel like politics will get annoying

[dense plover]

Prolly not

[bitter crane]

especially with the governor and everything

[dense plover]

I mean it’s cool to have and I’m grateful

[dense plover]

Ye he’s wylin rn

[formal fern]

sister got into UF

[dense plover]

Real

[bitter crane]

congratulations!

[red ginkgo]

yayay congrats to ur sis

[formal fern]

manifesting an acceptance for me next year

thanks

[bitter crane]

uf is great guys

instate tuition is basically nothing

especially if you live close

[formal fern]

is this 2023 stats?

[bitter crane]

cant relate

[bitter crane]

no

[formal fern]

ah i see

[bitter crane]

21-22 stats

its probably upwards of 1370-1480 rn

if i were to guess

[formal fern]

yeah most likely

one thing about uf tho is that they are so random with who they admit sometimes

[bitter crane]

on the cds

it shows

[formal fern]

like i know people that that insane stats+ecs that get rejected

and people that have 24 ACT scores that get in

[bitter crane]

yeah i agree

could be essays

since ik florida has some weird political perspectives and culture

so some people might not catch their eye or raise flags idk

[frigid crescent]

YEAAA WE BETETR HURRY BC THE GOOD DORMS FILL UP SO FAST OR SO IVE HEARD D:

[gray depot]

bruh 6 people i know at my school got in

this year seems like alot more admits

[frigid crescent]

i dont think anyone from my michigan highschool applied 💀

[gray depot]

well u applied right?

[halcyon obsidian]

CONGRATS TO ALL MY UF ADMITS

I’m not even from florida but I’m so proud of all of you congratulations you guys!!!

[gray depot]

that'll be a statistic to add to their diverse population

[gray depot]

thx you :)

[frigid crescent]

lmfao yea everyone applied umich

[gray depot]

i felt lazy after writing 4 essay lmao

and umich app looked kinda long

[frigid crescent]

it is bro

i spent way too much time on it

but i recycled my community for UF supp

[gray depot]

yea i wouldve done that

uf supps were my first

i also applied to nyu without supp as a joke LOL

[frigid crescent]

spent the most time on umich supps and i applied with a recycled version of my umich supp to every other schoolT_T

[gray depot]

def reject

thats basically negative demonstrated interest

[frigid crescent]

good luck bro hopefully ur a statistic too 😭 first no supp admit

[gray depot]

yessirr

[frigid crescent]

i didnt recycle my umich for nyu but i think thats it

[gray depot]

i only applied cause it was a saturday and they claimed to "extend the deadline" for me

[frigid crescent]

well

never know if u never try

shoot ur shot and hope at this point 🙏 thats what we all are doing

[gray depot]

yep

but im prob not even going there anyway

[frigid crescent]

nyu so fuckin expensive 😭

i love it tho sttill

[red ginkgo]

FRICK- I want to see my rd stuff first :(

[frigid crescent]

[gray depot]

YESSIR NO SUPP GANG

[red ginkgo]

[halcyon obsidian]

NYU wasn’t even close to my top choice so I didn’t even feel bad about it LMAO

[gray depot]

[rich star]

whaaat wen are housing forms due 😭

[south patio]

[copper onyx]

Denied 4.3 and 34

CS

[south patio]

[loud nova]

Rejected 2.9W 1450 SAT

[static adder]

Accepted 4.4/5 & 1300 SAT oos

[reef crystal]

Really? Haha explains why im in summer session then. My GPA is 3.5

Accepted 3.5 and 32 ACT

CS

[marble rover]

I got in CS

Idk why I wasn't hyped

I think it's just bc it's Florida

[reef crystal]

They rlly focus on essays and ECs pretty sure

[south patio]

My ecs and sat were ok but I think my essay was good

[rich star]

me too !!

[woeful summit]

does anyone know where the stats are for this admissions cycle?

or if they will be released at all?

[dense plover]

prolyl not till later

[full heath]

Accepted, international, Zoology, 1430 SAT, 86%

[gray depot]

I got 1440 SAT and 4.4 weighted

But I’m in state and a lot of my friends have way lower stats (in SAT) and still got in

My essay was kinda cringe now that I read it lol

[rich star]

hahaha mine was cringe too i was lowk surprised

lol why hasn't UF sent any email abt decisons☠️☠️

at least a "hey your stuff is out"

they do not care 😭😭💯💯

[gray depot]

they will prob tomorrow or a couple of days

To make your gator link email thing

[dense plover]

Did everyone who got the early email get in?

(I didn’t but got in)

[red ginkgo]

what early email

[gray depot]

I did

I think it was random cause one of my friends didn’t too

But got in

[deft spindle]

I dont think so

I got the early email and got in but a friend also got it and got the PACE acceptance

[vernal pecan]

I didn't and got in

[dense plover]

What’s pace

[fleet vale]

Roughly what percent of incoming freshman get housing on campus?

[static adder]

You have to take your classes online for the first year. You can still have access to all the on campus stuff tho.

[dense plover]

ic

[deft spindle]

You can’t live on campus

So not really

[fleet vale]

Bro

https://housing.offcampus.ufl.edu/housing/property/canopy/76hebhz

These are so nice

For $630 a month??

[dense plover]

more like 900 lmao

[gray depot]

they might be a little farther off from campus

i wanna get into beaty towers

its 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom and kitchen

the uf website says is 3.1k

im not sure if its split payment or 3.1k each person

[static adder]

Do u guys all think ur gonna end up going to UF?

[empty patrol]

originally it was between ucf and gt for me, but after being accepted to uf honors, im between uf and gt depending on if uf gives me money 🙏

[gray depot]

are u instate for any of them?

[empty patrol]

uf i am

and ucf

[gray depot]

oh

i was considering gt too

but if they give me any scholarships

my parents be paying 56k a year in total 🥴

[empty patrol]

I’ve heard good things about the possibility of high internship pay over the summer

I’m just tryna get that high out of college cs pay ☹️

[gray depot]

yea i just feel bad with any debt or relying on my parents too much

[empty patrol]

same, I dislike ever asking money from my parents but they’re adamant that whatever I choose they’ll help with

so maybe gt and just work my ass off

[gray depot]

its just makes the stakes really high for me

because if im making my parents pay so much per year

which means im gonna have to do really well or have a good outcome

im estimating uf to be like less than 10k a year

which is too good of an offer

[empty patrol]

Are you in state?

[gray depot]

yes

my tuition is paid in full

by bright futures

[empty patrol]

same, bright futures is something else tbh

[gray depot]

just have to pay for housing and food

[empty patrol]

I’m just waiting for all financial aid and scholarships to come out before I pick

[gray depot]

and if i get scholarship from uf (prob unlikely) it'll be even less

[gray depot]

true

[empty patrol]

good luck, hope wherever you go goes well

[gray depot]

u too :)

[dense plover]

prolly not tbh

unless moneys crazy

[empty patrol]

where do you think you’ll go instead?

[deft spindle]

Did UF aid/scholarships come out

[dense plover]

rn i hv vt and uf, leaning towards vt cuz in state and its kinda better for cs

[deft spindle]

Nvm I googled it’s mid March

[dense plover]

but idk where ill end up cuz i hv 18 rd decisions

coming up

[deft spindle]

March is gonna humble me

The acceptance streak is coming to an end

[dense plover]

lmao i ha d a rejection streak ive been humbled

[deft spindle]

I’ve been all good so far but haven’t had any crazy schools come out yet

[trim jackal]

Honors + extra bread means I’m def not going to USC or UVA lol. Unless I get into one of my March super reaches (like ivies or Stanford types not Berkeley or UCLA types) I’m probably gonna just go to UF

[deft spindle]

kinda upset I didn’t get honors at UF 😞

[dense plover]

been rejected from all my t10 cs schools so far

[deft spindle]

CS moment

[trim jackal]

For first year honors they pretty much just looked at your essay I think

[deft spindle]

Mine was incredibly mid

[trim jackal]

Lateral honors admission is a bit more holistic

So if you go you could just join honors sophomore year

[deft spindle]

I mean honors only perk is kinda the dorms

And early registration

The dorms for honors r so nice tho

Normal dorms kinda mid

[trim jackal]

Yeah

There are no real downsides tho

Like I don’t think it’s any extra work per se

[gray depot]

can u get into honors after first year?

[trim jackal]

Yeah

There’s lateral admissions

The essay prompt is the same

[deft spindle]

Exactly it’s nice to have

[trim jackal]

But you need to have a 3.75+ uf gpa

[deft spindle]

Gonna negotiate with them come onnnn guys let me live in the silly nice little honors dorm

[empty patrol]

Where can i see the uf honors dorms?

[gray depot]

ic

[trim jackal]

Not sure if this is true, but WOTS is if you find an honors roommate and they want you to be your roommate then you might be able to slide into Hume

[deft spindle]

I’ve heard that’s true

[dense plover]

@trim jackal hook me up

[dusty kayak]

did uf come out

[trim jackal]

I haven’t committed as yet

But hit me up after may

[dense plover]

real

[dense plover]

yes

[dusty kayak]

crazy

is uf good for cs

[dense plover]

did u check?

[dense plover]

um

[dusty kayak]

didn’t apply lol

[dense plover]

i mean idrk tbh

[winter radish]

My good friend got rejected from UF but she got into the violin studio??? How is that even possible

[deft spindle]

UF is silly and goofy

[dusty kayak]

fair

uf is so silly ahahha

[winter radish]

Like can she even appeal the decision? She’s thinking of doing an appeal but idk

[deft spindle]

I think so but I could be lying

[winter radish]

I’m j glad I’m a junior so I don’t have to worry abt this rn

But that’s so weird you’d think they would coordinate their decisions to match smh

[dusty kayak]

junior year was the best

[winter radish]

CanNOT relate I hate it

[deft spindle]

Semester 1 senior yr everything gets worse 😁

[dusty kayak]

😭😭 must’ve taken some bad classes

[dusty kayak]

agreed

[winter radish]

6 AP classes 💀

[empty patrol]

idk most of my senior year teachers are chill as hell

[dusty kayak]

💀💀 i took 5 and one dual this year

[deft spindle]

Yeah im in 5 rn

[winter radish]

My AP physics teacher is also genuinely insane, she thinks 50% test avg is good & doesn’t curve whatsoever 🤩🤩🤩

[deft spindle]

Thank god I never took ap physics

[empty patrol]

So glad I didn’t take a science this year 🙏

[winter radish]

I’m taking 2 😭

[empty patrol]

ap physics 1 was already a pain with how she taught

[winter radish]

Ik y’all aren’t admissions counselors, but do you think that if my friend appeals the decision based on the fact that they accepted her to the violin program but not the actual college, that they will accept her, or will they straight up take away her violin program too

[dense plover]

senior year is worse

they lied

junior was fine

it all gets worse

everything

[empty patrol]

senior year is so much better 🙏

[dusty kayak]

second semester senior year >

[fleet vale]

It literally says $634

[dense plover]

am i trippin?

[fleet vale]

That’s for a 2 bed

You can do 3 bed and 4 bed

2 bed is most expensive option

[dense plover]

o lol

i jus looked at the shit

on the left

[fleet vale]

Yeah there is all these as well

And some 3 bed but I think 4 may be the smartest option

Save a couple thousand over the course of a school year

[elfin horizon]

Do u have to commit before u apply for housing

[gray ice]

I toured a couple months ago and I’m like 80% sure that you don’t

but there is a down payment to apply for housing

idk I know for sure that you don’t have to at UCF but I think UF is the same way

[elfin horizon]

Ok thank u

[static adder]

I applied to these 13. Leaning towards Florida.

[gray depot]

so this dorm for example, is it 3.1k per person or 3.1k between 2 people

does anyone know

[fleet vale]

Can you still get a meal plan if you live off campus

[arctic trench]

isenberg and maryland looking good though

tbh depends on your location

[tiny plinth]

I believe that it is per person

It gets less as you go up in people in the dorm because it is not split

Like, notice how triples are cheaper. It’s because you’re sharing the price

[gray depot]

so if it was the triple it would be 2.5k per person?

[static adder]

Ya I’m in state for Umass so definitely appealing.

[empty patrol]

that sounds unreasonable no?

[gray depot]

thats what im saying

but maybe dorms are just that expensive

i was hoping to get beaty towers for 1.5k per person

so i can share with my friend :>

[empty patrol]

it says it’s billed semesterly, semester cost?

so 690 a month?

[fleet vale]

690 a month is not bad at all

I’m so fucking glad i got in here I had nothing else going for me 😭

This was literally my last chance at going to a decent college

I hope when I visit I don’t hate the campus 🤞

[gray depot]

i would love that :o

[gray depot]

i heard its huge

[fleet vale]

@gray depot how about $634

[gray depot]

like would take 3 hours of walking to see all of it

or more

[empty patrol]

It’s pretty

Ish

I really disliked the outside

It’s Gainesville

[fleet vale]

I know it’s smaller than Rutgers by about 700 acres and I hated Rutgers for its size

So hoping i like it in Florida bc it was literally my last college to release a decision

And it was looking like community is the only other option rn

[gray depot]

its like 2000 acres of smth

[fleet vale]

Yeah

It’s gonna be big but I hope it’s just not too big

The off campus apartments look sick though

[hazy yarrow]

any idea when ill get an email from santa fe college for their uf program?

[fleet vale]

Just got some random junior ME major to give us a tour when we fly down

[gray ice]

[gray depot]

looks like someone didnt correct their grammar on the web dev team lmao

[gray depot]

dw if i get the job ill be sure to do it lol ✊

[gray ice]

Do it… then make sure I get accepted ✊

[gray depot]

i gotchu

just edit a few lines of code in your app portal

[gray ice]

doing god’s work fr

[outer forge]

☠️ WHY

WHY

[gray ice]

[outer forge]

brooo they aint adding that to your app 😭

but you do you

[gray ice]

i know 😭 I didn’t actually expect them to

just trying to be helpful

[rose field]

yessir

anything to get in

[outer forge]

nah fr

respect gracie

[trim jackal]

😭😂

Gracie is motivated

[gray ice]

[trim jackal]

Trust Gracie you’re gonna get in

[reef crystal]

Waiting for georgia tech and a few other schools

Trying to decide between UF and UCF but all my friends are saying UF is the clear option

[tiny plinth]

UF>>>>>

Don’t do UCF lol

[reef crystal]

Yeah I knoww but the big thing is location and campus hahah

[gray depot]

ucf claims to have good internships

which it prob does

but theres so many students

the chances gotta be low

[tiny plinth]

Mmm yes

Is there a difference in cost for you

[gray depot]

I’m not sure

Haven’t calculated yet since uf hasn’t released scholarship info

Depends on housing costs tbh

[tiny plinth]

Yeah

[sterile lily]

im considering ucf

cuz im nms finalist

[tiny plinth]

Ooh

[sterile lily]

its sooo much money

[tiny plinth]

My friends an nms finalist

UF rejected him

I mean if it’s a financial decision then obviously UCF might be the better choice

But UF is definitely the better choice academically

At the same time like I’m considering going to FAU because they might be offering me a full ride

[sterile lily]

that sucks bruh

ucf is an amazing deal if ur nmsf

literally ur getting paid to go to school

[empty patrol]

does it not apply to uf?

[sterile lily]

nope

https://www.ucf.edu/admissions/undergraduate/national-merit/

this is what ucf gives you

its AMAZING bro

this is what uf gives 💀

[gray depot]

:o they sent me the gator link email

[woeful summit]

Yup, got the email today

[rose field]

what do i do after i created the account

[fleet vale]

wait

[gray depot]

We livin in the future fr fr

[gray ice]

…. innovative 😅

[fleet vale]

Was UF test optional i forget

[gray depot]

no

it was required

[tiny plinth]

^

very required

[gray ice]

):

[gray depot]

but dw i think uf values gpa slightly more

[outer forge]

nah but u need like a 1350 to be good

[outer forge]

nah fr

[gray depot]

bruh my friend got in with a 1250

[outer forge]

my gpa low but sat high

[gray depot]

but his grades are crazy good

and he got alot of certs in high school

just work hard and you'll be fine

[gray ice]

I’m 1210 sat waiting on act but my gpa is great

3.98/4.64

praying for a 30+ act fr

[dense plover]

Practice tests is all u need tbh

[gray depot]

keep it up 💪

true

i did past sat questions everyday

for like a month

[dense plover]

Did all the available ones reviewed (with purpose) got a 1500

If ur smart and u try you’ll B Aiit

[gray depot]

my junior year was lazy af

i only started doing stuff like beginning of senior year lol

[shut wedge]

So we got the gatorlink how do we find our finacial aid

[empty patrol]

so they still give you full ride?

plus 500 fuck around money?

[dense plover]

no i think that dead means 500 out what u pay

[empty patrol]

second paragraph talks about covering the remaining coa

[dense plover]

whyd it take so long to set up my gator link lmfao

[fleet vale]

I was just asking bc I’m trying to get one of my friends to apply next year but their SAT is pretty bad, like 800s

[dense plover]

holy shit y it that low

tell em start grinding xD

[empty patrol]

how’s their gpa?

[fleet vale]

Like 3.4 UW

not much of a chance

[dense plover]

good ecs?

[gray depot]

tell them to move to gainseville lmfao

live next to school

[fleet vale]

average

[dense plover]

id say if they focus on sat maybe

[lucid bough]

should i make the gatorlink account even if im not 100% sure im going

[dense plover]

its how u see fin aid

when it does get posted

[gray depot]

yea it’s by no means a commitment

only when u click agree in portal

[dense plover]

only thing is its a bitch to set up

[lucid bough]

alr thanks

[gray depot]

my fin aid isn’t showing up for me yet tho

[dense plover]

its not posted yet

[fleet vale]

Where do you log into gatorlink

What website

Nvm found it

[gray ice]

like genuinely in 800s?

That’s impressively bad

[dense plover]

nah fr

isnt the lowest u can possible get 800??

or am i trippin

ok its 400

but still

[gray ice]

I could take it blindfolded and still get above 800

[tiny plinth]

I’m pretty sure if they don’t get their SAT up they’re getting auto rejected lmao

[gray ice]

I feel like anything until 1050 is an auto reject

[deft spindle]

25th percentile is 1330 or something

[tiny plinth]

25tj percentile is not 1330

[deft spindle]

its 1310 lol

from 2020

[tiny plinth]

thats 85th percentile

OH

FOR UF DECISIONS

[deft spindle]

yeah

not in general lol

would aim for at least mid 1300s

For all my friends who had great GPAs and really good ECs but SAT below 1300 almost all got the pace program

[fleet vale]

🤓

[dense plover]

tbh they not wrong

if u completely guessed every single thing

[south patio]

I got in oos with 1360, 4.48, and decent extracurriculars

[gray ice]

what’s the pace program

I have a 1210, 3.98/4.64, and like prettyyyyyy solid ECs

Hoping for a better act tho

[glacial pine]

you have to do 2 semesters online then i can transfer to campus

[gray ice]

Ohhh

[deft spindle]

Honest advice is get the test score to be in the median

[tiny plinth]

You could also apply for Innovation Academy

It’s easier to get in through IA

But it limits your major options

[gray ice]

Yeah the SAT just isn’t for me lol

I’m really praying for a good ACT score so we’ll see this Tuesday

🤞🤞

[tiny plinth]

It’s really hard for some people, but you’ve gotta try at it

Yeah maybe the ACT is better

[gray ice]

I think the ACT was really easy other than science but if I pull anything lower than a 25 composite I’m just gonna cry

[gray depot]

bruh i took it 5 times

before i got 1440

xd

i started with an 1100 💀

[gray ice]

it was so sad, when my SAT came back I woke up, saw it, cried for like 45 minutes, decided not to go to school that day, and went back to sleep

[gray depot]

anyone can climb to the top

as long as u grind

[tiny plinth]

What did you get?

[gray ice]

It’s just demoralizing fr

1210

[gray depot]

thats great

for a junior

[gray ice]

Not even that horrible but like

[gray depot]

u can prob get 1400+

[tiny plinth]

Noooo that’s not bad!

You can 100% improve that

What’s the breakdown?

[gray depot]

tbh the math is easiest

i binged watch this channel called scalar learning

his tips are cracked

[tiny plinth]

I actually struggled on the math

[fleet vale]

I took it twice, got 1400 and 1490 superscore to 1520

[tiny plinth]

EBRW covered my ass so hard

[gray depot]

pro

[fleet vale]

Grammar is the easiest tbh

[tiny plinth]

Took it twice, 1400 once 1420 second 1450 superscored

790 EBRW 660 Math

[outer forge]

ufufuf

ufufuf

[fleet vale]

Math always has one that you have to think about but grammar is always easy

[gray depot]

i got 670 ebrw lol

but 770 math

[fleet vale]

780 math 740 reading

[outer forge]

i took sat 3 times!

[tiny plinth]

We are the same person reversed

[outer forge]

i got the same score both sections

[empty patrol]

Sat is all about time management and test taking strategies

[gray depot]

u also gotta do ecs and steff

write good essay

and then u in

[gray ice]

590 math 620 rw

[tiny plinth]

I’ve heard UF very much focuses on essays

[gray depot]

mine was sob story 😢

[outer forge]

mine were bad

i had a typo

[tiny plinth]

Hm then you might need to do a multi focus approach

[gray depot]

my friend wrote about hwo he got a kill streak in minecraft lmao

[tiny plinth]

I can share my essay if you’d like!

[fleet vale]

Obviously not I wrote mine in 15 minutes about an extra curricular I haven’t done since 8th grade

[outer forge]

i still got in LMAO

[tiny plinth]

Stats?

[outer forge]

im like 99% sure they looked at my sat and moved on

[outer forge]

SAME LOL

[fleet vale]

3.8 UW/5.1 W and 1520 superscore

[empty patrol]

my personal essay was about my internship, my only “great” ec, but I made it about how I have a weakness and how I’m overcoming that weakness

[gray ice]

Mines gonna be about either helping at a job fair for ppl with criminal records OR the process of starting a student council

[fleet vale]

@tiny plinth

[tiny plinth]

That 1520, yup

[gray depot]

if a minecraft essay can get u in idk what wont 🗿

just focus on growth

that u learned something

[fleet vale]

I literally wrote about Boy Scouts in my essay, i only ever got to tenderfoot and quit in 8th grade 💀

[outer forge]

LOL

[outer forge]

similar stats

i wrote about tutoring kids

LOL

[gray depot]

mines 3.9 uw but my school doesnt go past 5.0

[tiny plinth]

I wrote about my relationship to identity and autism

[gray depot]

so 4.5 weighted

[fleet vale]

We go to 6.5 for an AP but the highest anyone has is a 5.7

[gray ice]

my gpa should be just under a 5.0 by the time I graduate

[gray depot]

our school does aice

british program lol

[fleet vale]

I think recalculated to UF im somewhere around a 4.2-4.3

Bc i only did 4 APs

[gray ice]

how can you recalculate to uf

[gray depot]

oh yea the decision letter i got it says that the its tentative

[tiny plinth]

Our school does a 7 point scale lolol

[gray depot]

so i have to keep up my grades

:<

[fleet vale]

They said an honors goes to 4.5 and AP or equivalent goes to 5.0, all others go to 4

[gray depot]

i was tryna chill the rest of my senior year

[gray ice]

ohhh that’s the same as my hs okay

[fleet vale]

a CP class in my school goes to 5 so our grading scale is fucked

Honors is 6

AP is 6.5

[gray depot]

do u guys have de

[dense plover]

i took it 3 times 1330->1410->1500 definitely progressive in nature

[gray depot]

my 3rd and 4th was the same lol

[dense plover]

a levels?

[gray depot]

yes

[dense plover]

did u do igcse

[gray depot]

i dont think we have

tbh theyre all pretty ez

except for math

[dense plover]

a levls math is hard yes

[gray depot]

that shit gives me headache

[dense plover]

did u do further math?

[gray depot]

its pure maths

[dense plover]

thats harder than ap calc bc

[gray depot]

a level

[dense plover]

o aiit

thats interesting

[gray depot]

they use weird terminology

like gradient is slope

modulus is distance

etc

[dense plover]

didnt know any schools here would use the british curriculum

[dense plover]

lmfao ye i came from intl

so its other way round for me

[gray ice]

I do de

[gray depot]

its not well known in the US but its getting more popular

[dense plover]

interesting

[gray depot]

but i do think u need to score c or above for certain colleges to accept

cause to get a E is really easy 💀

[dense plover]

🤣

[gray depot]

nice are u trying to go for aa?

[dense plover]

my igcse was kinda bad

this was sophomore year i think

[gray depot]

ooh noice

[dense plover]

add nath was hard

[gray depot]

bro nobody in our school even dares takes physics

only one kid last year took it

and hes going to stanford

[gray ice]

nope but I’m projected to graduate with 55 credits

[gray depot]

close

[gray ice]

https://tenor.com/view/close-so-close-joey-friends-nice-try-gif-4828122

[dense plover]

a levels physics is diff from o level tbh

but that shit was hard

everyone failed our mock exam

[gray depot]

yea

[dense plover]

but they curved it

[gray depot]

wait doesnt ap cover for some courses at de?

at my school we can overlap

if we pass the aice tests

[gray ice]

I think so

My school doesn’t offer ap tho

[gray depot]

oh

[fleet vale]

Physics C isn’t too bad

[sturdy jetty]

hey gang i might be going to uf in the fall, should i put a housing deposit down now even if i’m unsure i’m gonna end up at uf?

[dense plover]

yes

its like 20 dollars

or u mean like the full thing?

[fleet vale]

Is off campus housing cheaper?

[sturdy jetty]

yeah i mean like the 25$ one to save my place

[gray depot]

do the 25$

[fleet vale]

That $25 doesn’t save you a place

[gray depot]

or u might regret

[fleet vale]

It doesn’t even guarantee housing

[gray depot]

oh

rlly?

[fleet vale]

It basically says if there is housing you might get it

Or somebody else might get it

[sturdy jetty]

damn that’s crazy

[gray depot]

but if u dont pay then theres even less of a chance?

[fleet vale]

There’s so many freshman and not enough housing, freshman aren’t guaranteed housing at UF

[dense plover]

tf

[sturdy jetty]

how often do people who want on campus housing not get it?

[fleet vale]

yeah if you don’t pay there’s no chance

[dense plover]

ye im def not going here xD

[gray depot]

oof

maybe off campus apartment

[dense plover]

i mean its more expensive than my in state

and not as good for cs so

feels bad man

[gray depot]

the dorms look like prison cells anyway

[dense plover]

real

[gray depot]

i would try to get off campus

[fleet vale]

I think at least 80% usually get housing on campus if they choose

[sturdy jetty]

ok cool thanks

[gray depot]

im still going anyway cause tuition paid for op 😎

[fleet vale]

Off campus housing is also pretty cheap but you would probably need a form of transportation whether that’s a bike/car/bus etc

[gray depot]

true

but thats why hella people get scooters

[sturdy jetty]

do y’all think having a housing priority date of today is pretty early or no

Ik people can do it before they even get in but hopefully most people haven’t done it yet

[digital topaz]

i had a 4.7/3.9 imo really strong essays and over the top ECs with a pretty good SAT and got rejected lmao. Gonna just think of it as yield protection.

[empty patrol]

how’s getting housing for the honors dorms? like how likely am I to get housing?

[gray ice]

Yes

[gray ice]

Depends on the place but off campus housing in gnv is very difficult to find

[fleet vale]

They have a website for it that makes it pretty simple from the looks of it

[gray ice]

Buckman dorms r cute

Like

All the historic dorm halls are pretty but Buckman is the only one without a ton of issues

so it’s >>

[woeful summit]

@gray depot are you thinking of living on or off campus?

oh sorry if y'all were talking about it

i literally paid the housing application fee in october and i went to check the priority date and i think i accidentally reset it so now it's Feb 26, 2023... there's no way that's right? right?

[gray depot]

nah u good

u can reset it?

if u paid the fee u should be fine unless they cancelled it or something

[tiny plinth]

Where do I find my date?

[woeful summit]

im not even sure what i did, i pressed "complete step 1" again bc i went to check the thing again and, admittedly, didn't read before clicking

[woeful summit]

yeah, i paid it on oct 17th, but now it says the "priority date" is feb 26th... so idk :/

[woeful summit]

application portal > housing information > apply

and it should bring you to that housing application portal

just don't click "complete step 1" if you have already lol

imma call tmr

[gray depot]

oh rip

then it prob means the date u applied was today

see i did mine on the 15th

[woeful summit]

when did you pay it?

bc i swear i had pressed it on oct 17th

i may have done a dumb tho

[gray depot]

on the 15th

[woeful summit]

ah

yeah, i paid it last october so hopefully they'll be able to help

but anyway

[gray depot]

u can call them

at that number

[woeful summit]

do you think on or off campus is better?

[gray depot]

depends

[woeful summit]

yeah for sure, imma call tmr morning

[gray depot]

i found a pretty good dorm in beaty

thats not too much

it has 2 rooms

kitchen

but only 1 bathroom

[woeful summit]

oooh

that doesn't seem that bad

[gray depot]

but for the most part off campus is more spacier

[gray ice]

off campus housing is difficult to find

I know a couple people who have all had trouble in gnv

[gray depot]

i think its 3.1k

but idk if thats split between 2

or per person

[woeful summit]

yeah idk

[gray depot]

also on campus might be more restrictive

cause i think theres a teacher living in each one

u cant be too loud and stuff

[noble swift]

would it be plausible for me to appeal my uf rejection? i have a disability (completely deaf from birth w/cochlear implants, can speak fluent english) and i was wondering if that would fulfill one of the reasons to appeal a uf rejection

[tiny plinth]

LMAO no

there are RAs

[gray depot]

oh lol

its like that old lady in food wars

[deft spindle]

@gray depot Is there a way to check my priority date

I wanna see when I paid

[fleet vale]

Anyone know when we get scholarship/fin aid

Trying to schedule a visit but if i don’t get a good enough financial package we’ll just save the money on the trip

[deft spindle]

mid march i think

[gray depot]

u just go to the housing app

and then click check status

[deft spindle]

weird

i applied but my thing says no application status

[fleet vale]

Does this mean I’m fine for housing application

[gray ice]

It looks like you should be good!

[fleet vale]

Ok thank you

[gray depot]

thats what i got too

[shut wedge]

So when do we have to wait for the financial aid package to come out

[gray depot]

i dont think theres confirmed date

but between now and march maybe?

yea around march

[trim jackal]

Yo Florida peeps

I might be dumb for confirming this

But UF Honors is viewed as more prestigious than FSU Honors right?

[gray depot]

i mean honors doesn’t really do much but they have their perks

i think in both honors u can choose classes earlier

[final pond]

yes

[livid pewter]

i got into uf honors how good is that

[empty patrol]

Priority class choice and better forms

Dorms

[gray ice]

they want me fr

[noble swift]

obsessed fr

if i'm contacting the office of admissions about an appeal, should i do it this week or wait until they open (march 6th next week)?

[gray ice]

it’s crazy they’re just emailing me out of nowhere at this point

they wanna pay me 10k per semester to attend

I rejected it and told them it wasn’t fair to other applicants and that I wanted to be considered w the rest of the applicants when I apply

😓

[trim jackal]

Bro Gracie is actually gonna become the next president of UF

She’s already managing the publicity and technology departments

[gray ice]

they don’t just want me, they NEED me

[trim jackal]

Ong they do

[rose field]

W rizz

[empty patrol]

I wonder what the acceptance rate is gonna be like when numbers are released

[empty patrol]

honestly doesn’t feel it tbh

I wonder if that inclcudes pace

[trim jackal]

Technically pace is an acceptance

Yo spec this fsu acceptance package tho

It’s actually so fire

[gray ice]

but it’s fsu

😒😒

[trim jackal]

Haha

[empty patrol]

yeah but I’d still like to see the numbers for non pace acceptance

[trim jackal]

Oh

It’s probably a tad less

[empty patrol]

Since I know a lot of people don’t really want to do pace

[trim jackal]

Like a quarter

Fr tho the FSU acceptance package was so much more substantial than the USC acceptance package

[gray depot]

yoooo i got the same steff

[trim jackal]

Considering USC’s tuition is like 60 grand a year and it’s endowment size is around 8 billion…

[gray depot]

i only kept the black horse sticker xd

cause it doesnt really indicate fsu that much

[trim jackal]

😂😂😂

[gray depot]

i swear this year uf feels like it accepted alot more

there kids in my school that got rejected from fsu

[trim jackal]

It’s the only sticker that doesn’t actively say FSU or Seminoles

[gray depot]

but got into uf

[trim jackal]

Looking at acceptance rate alone, FSU was probably more selective

[gray depot]

damn

[trim jackal]

But ig it more so has to do with fit

[gray depot]

yield protection e.e

[trim jackal]

Nah I doubt it

I don’t think public universities yield protect with instate students

[gray depot]

oh

well u know theres always been rivalry with uf and fsu

[trim jackal]

That would just be green lowkey

[trim jackal]

This is true

[gray depot]

wait what if they're secretly together

o-o

like the uf rejects go to fsu

[trim jackal]

😂

[gray depot]

and fsu rejects go to uf

[trim jackal]

Then what about us?

[gray depot]

oh

true

they both want us

:>

[trim jackal]

Faxxx

No cap though what you’re suggesting might be a good system

Basically you rank all the Florida public universities according to preference

And if your first choice doesn’t want you, then you move onto your second choice for consideration

Def wouldn’t work for applying to all colleges

But I feel like if they’re public colleges that are part of the same “system” then it’d work

Like the UCs could prolly do it too

[gray depot]

biggest public school scandal

[trim jackal]

U think so?

[gray depot]

jk prob not

but if it is

then i wont be suprised if fbi showed up at my door tmrw

[gray depot]

hoenstly i would be pretty happy with any of the UC's

except the lowest of the lows maybe

[empty patrol]

I had a friend 1550 sat and 4.6 gpa with crazy stats, ib and all that, got rejected

same with a friend who’s national merit, except he marked fsu as his #1 choice

maybe their essays could’ve sucked but still, I doubt

[trim jackal]

I have friends with higher SATs (a handful actually scored a godly 1580) and perfect 5.0 weighted gpas who got in

[gray ice]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-michael-scott-brave-face-gif-5377249

[trim jackal]

A couple got into honors too

But then again, two of my friends who had in the 1520-1540 range got rejected

So I’m thinking it’s just a space issue

Like UF just can’t take a ton of ppl all from the same school

[gray ice]

im one of two people in my school who’s applying to uf and the other person has awful stats

[gray depot]

yield protect 100

[empty patrol]

honestly just seems like such a weird acceptance rate

like people from my school with worse stats got accepted while national merit got rejected

[gray ice]

I think it’s so low bc soo many people who aren’t necessarily in the range apply just bc it’s UF

[gray depot]

fax

[trim jackal]

Yo pause in state national merit?

They should definitely appeal

[gray depot]

aka dont be overachiever and you'll get into uf lol

[empty patrol]

he doesn’t care, he marked fsu as his #1 choice

[gray ice]

I know a good amount of people who’re under the median stats who plan on applying

If I get rejected I should appeal on the grounds that I want it so badly

[empty patrol]

he’s going to fsu, but it just seems yield protection IF they can see who you marked first

[gray ice]

🥰

[gray depot]

uf national merit sucks anyway

[empty patrol]

I’m still confused on that because I have a friend telling me he gets full ride

[gray depot]

it’s like 500 or something?

idk

[final pond]

is it a dumb idea to message the admissions office and ask them to reconsider me for summer instead of what i have now, the gator engineering program at Santa Fe . I have a relatively new SAT score which is somewhat better that im not sure they considered in the decision

[dense plover]

1wont know unless u try

worst case u stay in the same position u r now

[trim jackal]

Gl man

[final pond]

Might as well ig 🫡

[trim jackal]

Ye

Just out of curiosity, cus I kinda wanna know if there was any rhyme or reason to UF this year, what were your stats @final pond ?

[final pond]

1380 SAT 3.9 gpa uw top 25% of class in-state decent ecs methinks

[trim jackal]

Ye those are solid

Well within UF’s middle 50 SAT wise

And gpa is obv very high

Intriguing

[final pond]

my friend with a 1570 got rejected though

most likely yield protection i fear

[empty patrol]

Idk to me it’s seems like uf is doing yield protection this year

[final pond]

yes def

lots of very qualified people getting rejected

[empty patrol]

That’s why I want to see their actual admissions rate not including pace

I wanna see if they’re trying to push down the amount of people accepted full on

whether because they need to or want to

[final pond]

yeah would be interesting

[woeful summit]

@gray depot turns out my date for the housing application is october 13th lol

[gray depot]

niceeee

u should be set for housing then

[outer forge]

Depends but rn I’m living in a 619/month one

And I say it’s worth it tbh

Private bathroom , decent amenities

It’s p nice

Lexington Crossing / Oxford Manor are some pretty good choices for off campus

You should sign ASAP bc good apartments are filled up p quickly

[woeful summit]

maybe! im looking into apartments tho LOL

[woeful summit]

thank you

[trim jackal]

It must just be for some ppl

Bc some pretty cracked people have gotten in

Like science bowl grand award and usamo qualifier types

And you know, maybe it has something to do with their writing. If you have good stats and view a school as a safety, you might not put significant effort into preparing your app (esp Bc UF’s was due sooooo early) Bc you think you should be an autoadmit

Just speculation obv but state schools don’t usually practice yield protection when it comes to students in that state because there’s actually a solid chance that those kids will go there Bc they don’t get into their reaches or for financial reasons.

[gray depot]

that’s very true i feel cause after i was done with 5 of my top schools i got really lazy with the essays

i applied to some with no essays or didn’t even do the supp like nyu for example lmao

[tiny plinth]

totally yield protection

my best friend, nms finalist, 1510 sat, 4.0 gpa etc got rejected

i feel like it wouldn’t be yield protection tho bc for most Florida kids UF is their top choice

[deft spindle]

Florida is definitely not yield protecting anyone in state

[noble swift]

atp i don't think it's yield protection, i just think they had too many people this qualified and couldn't accept them all for fear of denying more less qualified applicants if it makes sense

they're def not denying people because they're too good

there's just too many good ppl

[trim jackal]

No they aren’t

[fleet vale]

I love when people get rejected and cope by saying yield protection

Shits hilarious

[trim jackal]

Tell me about it

The USC thread had the same stuff

Can’t wait to see it again on ivy day

[noble swift]

LOL YIELD PROTECTION FOR IVIES

do people actually say that

[gray depot]

i get how atlanta ga has a 50

but how is gainesville so high 🗿

[tiny plinth]

Mostly as a joke

[gray depot]

yay

[empty patrol]

oh boy

[gray depot]

its higher than chicago

this cant be right 💀

[trim jackal]

Unfortunately they do 💀

I’ve mostly only seen it in situations where someone gets into a HYP level school and gets rejected from one of the three “lower” ivies (Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell)

But yeah lol

The only school that has an undeniable track record of yield protection is the University of Michigan

Which is why I refused to apply to that school and let their fake ass low acceptance rate drop lower

[gray depot]

isn’t tulane most known for that tho

or maybe tufts

[trim jackal]

Tufts might

Tufts just isn’t one of those schools that everyone applies to

So ig it’s not as “famous” for it

[gray depot]

yea

[trim jackal]

Like Ik they hit me up with a few emails, I just didn’t apply. Same with most ppl at my school.

[gray depot]

its funny though when the unpopular schools get called out for doing it

[trim jackal]

It appeals to a certain student ig

[gray depot]

just makes them look worse

[trim jackal]

Lol facts

Tulane too tbh

[gray depot]

e.e

[trim jackal]

It’s not one of those schools that everyone applies to

Sheesh that acceptance rate droppppped

[gray depot]

yep they greedy for that low acceptance

[trim jackal]

Unless their class size is hella small, I agree with you

They must be practicing some kind of yield protection

[sterile lily]

what does this mean exactly?

what does it mean by "buy sat-takers' names"

[gray depot]

i think when u put ur info before taking the sat like name ethncity and possible sat score

collegeboard can sell the data to those colleges

so the colleges can advertise

but u agree to this

if u do

[sterile lily]

oh bruh thats why they kept begging me to apply

"PLEAASSSEEE APPLY ED WE HAVE A FEE WAIVER PLSPLSPLSPLSPLS"

[gray depot]

theres like a colleboard college search thing

[sterile lily]

yea thats why u get all the letters

[gray depot]

that u can agree to after the sat

yea

and emails

[sterile lily]

made me think harvard, yale, and mit were interested in me 💀

[gray depot]

maybe they are

but its all a business

[sterile lily]

fr they just want my $75 app fee then theyll kick me to the curb

[gray depot]

and to lower their acceptance rate lol

[trim jackal]

Lol

[normal edge]

Gainesville is mainly only dangerous in the east side

University area and haile plantation is as rich and safe as it gets

[empty patrol]

if rich why look bad

[normal edge]

Old

Money can't overhaul the whole campus

Newer buildings look nice

[empty patrol]

I didnt mean the campus

Area around

[lucid bough]

when does financial aid come out

[fleet vale]

College of engineering finally sent out an email, still don’t know which majors I was accepted for though

[outer forge]

same LOL

[gray depot]

i wanna change my major to be in college of engineering :(

i accidentally did liberal arts but idk if i can change later on
