nahhh

#

I was rejected

#

then I appealed

trim jackal
grizzled peak
#

ironic tbh

#

it really is a lotto

trim jackal
#

Are you in state?

grizzled peak
#

yep

trim jackal
#

Where are you thinking of going?

#

Bc I'm in a similar boat as you

grizzled peak
#

honestly USC

trim jackal
#

Was also accepted to USC, UCLA, and Cal

grizzled peak
#

but friends and parents are pressuring berkeley

#

like

trim jackal
#

Did you get a schollie to either?

grizzled peak
#

its so stressful rn

#

I have rotc scholarship so tuition is covered

#

and fin aid should cover the rest

trim jackal
#

Gotcha lol

#

Ye I'd have to pay for everything

#

So rn I'm leaning towards UF

grizzled peak
#

ahh ok

#

if you were in my situation which school would you choose 💀

trim jackal
#

Lmao

#

Wait what's ur major?

grizzled peak
#

business

#

i was leaning towards USC

trim jackal
#

Tough call bc it could go either way

#

Marshall is great honestly

#

Me personally I would choose Cal bc even though you aren't technically in Haas

#

It's easier to get there

#

And yk the whole thing about Cal's econ program being legendary

#

But...

#

If you like USC's vibe better

#

I'd go there

grizzled peak
#

i cant decide

#

this is so hard

#

USC has so many good study abroad programs and such

#

and really fun classes

#

I aint tryna drown myself into depression in uni

copper onyx
#

@grizzled peak can i drop you a dm rq

trim jackal
#

that being said, uni is what you make if it

#

so if you feel as though you'd be happier at usc

#

then you should go to usc

#

whether its because of the classes offered, location in an urban center, study abroad programs, etc.

#

if your heart is set on usc

#

then you should go to usc

grizzled peak
#

ive emitted UCLA now

#

its USC or CAL now

gray depot
#

what is CAL

#

berkeley?

copper onyx
#

yes

#

Committed!

scenic sable
#

What was the reason for appealing

grizzled peak
#

deferred from FSU

#

so all hope was lost

#

I thought Id have to go to CC thats why

hollow yew
#

I'm looking at triple majoring, but it looks like I need to attend multiple semesters before I can do that. Does anyone know if these stipulations are mere guidelines or rigid requirements?

gray depot
#

triple major O_O

hollow yew
#

I didn't get into Yale and spite is the most powerful emotion

gray depot
#

i can’t even plan out one major and you tryna do 3 😭

#

gl tho i can do some research for ya :)

hollow yew
#

THAT WOULD BE SUPER COOL THANKS

copper onyx
#

Man is not gonna see the light of day for 4 years

#

what are some benefits of going to UF over FSU?

trim jackal
timber arch
gray ice
#

UF is in Gainesville and FSU is in tally (the worst state capital ever)

timber arch
#

wait why lol

gray ice
timber arch
#

ik some areas off campus are unsafe but the campus seems fine

timber arch
gray ice
#

nah tally is fine. they’re both relatively boring college towns but gnv is closer to other large cities

timber arch
#

well computational science for fsu, data science for uf

gray ice
#

I’m pretty sure UF has a better program?? I may be wrong though

timber arch
#

yeah they do as far as I'm aware

#

just based on what I've heard from a bunch of people

gray ice
#

if you go to uf you get to boast that you go to a top 5 (public) university

timber arch
gray ice
#

are you oos?

timber arch
#

honestly I'm not even sure where I stand on this myself, but my parents don't seem very open to uf which is why I'm trying to find things in support of it lol

#

nah south FL

gray ice
#

Tbh go where the money is. Both are great schools. If money wasn’t a factor I’d pick UF because the program is better + I would consider the location to be better

gray depot
#

GO GATORS!!

gray depot
gray ice
#

Did you get 100% bright futures?

timber arch
# gray depot uf is closer too

that specifically isn't much of a factor to me, but it being close to other cities in florida is. i think it'd be cool to make frequent trips to amusement parks in orlando and stuff

gray ice
#

If your parents’ influence wasn’t a factor would you pick UF over FSU?

timber arch
#

idek cuz of the money lol

gray depot
#

uf is cheaper i believe

gray ice
#

I get you

gray depot
#

not considering merit scholarships

gray ice
gray depot
#

yea

#

it actually ended being more for me at fsu even with vires scholly

#

uf common W

gray ice
#

idk I’d go to fsu if the money is significantly better

timber arch
#

pretty sure fsu was already cheaper for me with vires, and wayyyyyyy cheaper after another fsu scholarship

gray depot
#

oh nice

gray ice
#

begrudgingly I’d say go to fsu then

timber arch
#

I find it very weird though that I got presidential scholarship at fsu but not uf. fsu only gives it to around 30 people each year, whereas uf gives it to 10ish% of the incoming class so probably like 1000

#

sorry for flexing lol I just find it very confusing so I'm wondering if anyone has input on that

#

are there lots of scholarships u can get once ur at UF?

gray depot
#

yea UF is kinda stingy with schoarships

timber arch
#

oof

#

what's ur major btw

gray depot
#

cs@college of eng

timber arch
#

oooh ok nice I'm interested in cs and might switch to it at some point if I end up going to uf and not liking data science

#

do u know where I could find more info on uf scholarships for students already at uf?

gray depot
#

im in their discord server

#

i can give u link in dms

timber arch
#

that would be great, thank you

autumn hornet
#

Is on campus housing still available

#

I try going to the application and it says it’s not available for some reason

gray ice
#

Agreements are due by May 1st but I’m not sure when the $25 deposit is due

#

Yeah May 1st is the last day

#

352-392-2161

#

^ that’s UF’s student life number

#

which housing would be under

#

or no that’s just the housing & resident life number

autumn hornet
#

Yeah i just tried calling that number and it took me straight to voicemail

#

I feel like its not working cus I just set up my gatorlink yesterday

gray ice
#

ohhh that could be why

#

hopefully you can submit it tomorrow

#

the late fee is $125 I think

rocky adder
#

anyone has common data set of uf for 22-23

#

latest i can find is 20-21

gray ice
#

I have ‘26 stats I’ve you’d like that??

gray ice
#

I don’t think ‘23 is out yet

rocky adder
#

my sat score is 1410 so i think i am safe atm

#

prolly superscore if possible

gray ice
#

you should be good!

rocky adder
#

yeah my english is bad

#

630

#

but maths is v good ->780

gray ice
#

there’s no harm in retaking but at least there’s not as much pressure

rocky adder
#

yee also

#

i was born in florida

#

i am georgia resident tho

gray ice
#

woooo

#

oh

#

boooooo

rocky adder
#

will that help me?

gray ice
#

Uhhhh I don’t think it will but I’m not entirely sure

rocky adder
#

i have a house in fort lauderdale

#

if that helps

gray ice
#

I think you have to have residency in Florida for it to help

#

like have proof you live there

#

but that’s very risky to lie about

#

so I cannot encourage that 🙏

rocky adder
#

obvio i dont wanna lie either

#

um

#

what if i

#

like shift to florida

#

technically i can become a resident then right?

#

is it worth it tho?

#

to like shift to florida rn?

#

just for in state benefits?

#

i think my dad was saying that he spoke w the attorney and he said that i can become a resident even if one of my parents stay there so just wantedto know if its worth it cause my parents want me to get that in state benefits so teh tution fee is lower

gray ice
#

It’s definitely worth it because you’re more likely to get in + in state tuition

rich star
#

ya the in-state tuition cray

gray ice
#

yuuuuup

#

100% free tuition is soo nice

south patio
#

If you got grandparents in Florida you can also try your luck at the grandparent waiver

#

I lucked out and was able to get one and that also give’s you in state tuition while being oos

empty patrol
#

Finally bought uf merch 😸

gray ice
#

WOOOOO

#

UF merch is so cute

#

I’m sweating my uf sweatshirt rn in honor of commitment day

glacial pine
#

i committed the other day and haven’t been able to find a roommate 😭😭

#

is it bad to go random?? i’m starting to freak out lmao

gray ice
#
  1. congrats
#
  1. no!!! I’m sure it’s preferable to know your roommate beforehand but it’s not necessarily a bad thing
shut wedge

grizzled peak
#

I had a score wayyy worse than that

gray ice
#

yeah UF AOs are crazy

#

I’ve seen 1200s get accepted and 1500s get rejected

grizzled peak
#

its always been a lottery

#

Ive seen kids with absolutely no ECAs get in

gray ice
#

Yeah

#

scary !!!

rocky adder
#

idk

rocky adder
#

is that a thing cause then i can get in state benefits

#

guess i will prolly be in the uf class of 28 afterall prisgroove

south patio
#

They don’t have many of them so applying early helps as I believe it’s first come first serve

rocky adder
#

um prolly gonna ask an attorney ab this i guess

#

i wana be sure

rocky adder
#

i can technically get an instate benefit

rocky adder
glacial pine
#

going random isn’t the worst

gray ice
#

^ yeah it really isn’t

#

it’s uncertain but there’s still a strong possibility that you’ll end up with a good roommate

rocky adder
#

tbh i dont wanna go rando lmao

rocky adder
#

guys does uf give unconditional offers upon predicted grades

#

business

#

Hi!
UF is my dream university but unfortunately I couldn't apply because of SAT..anyways you all gonna love Gainesville. I lived in the city for 4 years and had a wonderful time. The campus is very beautiful and the people are very kind.

Go Gators! 🐊

gray ice
#

are you asking if they autoadmit IB students ?

trim jackal
#

No American colleges do predicted offers

#

That’s just a British thing

#

Because they’re quite Britishy

#

Yk?

rocky adder
# gray ice wdym?

nah like for example if my predicted grades are 36 i will have to get minimum of 34 -35 in my actual ib exams

gray ice
#

UF doesn’t autoadmit anyone

trim jackal
#

Although you should get as high as you can

#

So you can redeem as much credits as possible

#

And you can graduate faster or take a lighter load
