us

and butter

[obtuse spindle]

120 and 5'5 is normal

huh

[sullen bobcat]

I don't think springs is an ideal location. it will be 20+ min walk to most classrooms

[obtuse spindle]

i was kind of fat when i was 120 at like 5'0 when i was 13 so i think 5'5 normal

bro

i dont look that cooked actually i look like im 60-65 kg

i think cuz i have very wide shoulders

or smth

[strange gull]

not a huge walk. I want to stay fit anyway so there's my motivation

-# I was lied to but whatever

and desantis might take away that llc (again)

what a hater he is

[lofty raptor]

lmao

[lofty raptor]

now imagine if ucf had a minimum age for housing 💀

because i called her

and she was like

*them and they were

"idk lemme ask my supervizor"

on hold rn

https://tenor.com/view/ducktales-ducktales2017-infernal-internship-of-mark-beaks-huey-duck-on-hold-gif-21525683

[strange gull]

get used to it if you go to any big university

community colleges answer much faster (assuming it's not the start of a semester)

[lofty raptor]

alr they answered

YEAHHH

I CAN GET HOUSING

[lofty raptor]

imagine if glinda got a LOW TAPER FADEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[strange gull]

https://tenor.com/view/ariana-funny-face-ariana-grande-ariana-wicked-glinda-face-glinda-wicked-gif-16676633091675246962

ok

[strange gull]

if you have to do a profile, make sure to be very honest about your age

[topaz stirrup]

uhh

I mean it depends on how ur body displays the weight

I think I’m a very normal (healthy) weight for my height and age yeah

[topaz stirrup]

It’s a huge walk when it’s a 9:35 am class

Look into beaty! They have apartment style housing too

Beaty is also very social

[native oak]

You can be a tour guide - I know UCF has solid gigs for their tour guides

[topaz stirrup]

Cola got into uf honors

so I think they’ll prob commit

[native oak]

The old training (as in when I was a freshman) was that essay was one of the biggest weighing factors in an app

It is, but hey, Turnpike construction finishes right as I graduate and don’t have to drive it to Orlando anymore

It’s not a horrid drive. I recommend a stopover in Trinity

[lofty raptor]

i was

i said

i said "15 years old"

(i am 14 rn but I will turn 15 way before move in

ima be honest

[native oak]

SOMEONE SAID IT

[lofty raptor]

week 1 id be freaky

week 2 ill prob get better

[native oak]

Go into your portal and withdraw app if you can

[lofty raptor]

i tried

they dont have a portal it seems

[native oak]

It depends? (Totally not sour having gotten deferred then waitlisted lol)

Sorry, I left my light-up devil horn headband at home
(Kidding. Though I know the people that make them for HHN)

120 at 5’4 lol

[lofty raptor]

lmfao

[native oak]

It does have good bus routes tho

[lofty raptor]

us

[native oak]

YEAHHHHH COME BE AN SAO COLA

[lofty raptor]

wait

can you be an SAO as non honors

[native oak]

Yeah! I am!

[lofty raptor]

also can deferred get honors

cuz like

i am uncommon

[native oak]

Yes they could

[lofty raptor]

first year?!

[native oak]

But that’s up to UHP

[lofty raptor]

has it ever happened i should say

[native oak]

Possibly!

[native oak]

This is the first year we’ve done deferrals so we have no idea

[strange gull]

I used to walk 0.5-2.5mi every morning before school need to get back into that 💔

[lofty raptor]

oh

[native oak]

It’s all new to us

[lofty raptor]

i mean

[native oak]

This is the wild Wild West of admissions

[lofty raptor]

i am uncommon

[native oak]

We knew that already

[lofty raptor]

yes

im weird

[strange gull]

OMG I WILL !!! I'll lyk if I commit...

[lofty raptor]

ima be honest tho

uf is better then ucla

we can all agree on that right

[native oak]

Did you rsvp for Florida days?

[strange gull]

yes I did !! the only Friday date ofc

[strange gull]

idk anything about ucla but they're more . . . freaky which isn't my thing

[lofty raptor]

👅

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-gif-4656385985544318455

[strange gull]

the panty run...

[obtuse olive]

there was a rumor around my old school that UF had a 7% ea acceptance rate… be careful yall

[strange gull]

that's actually kind of ridiculous

ig more than 10k will be admitted rd

can't give a guess for percentage bc idk how many were deferred/rejected already

[topaz stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-lol-haha-so-funny-funny-gif-15155799540154128453

[topaz stirrup]

I would not subscribe to any rumors..

[strange gull]

STOP 💔

[native oak]

This. Speculation be Wildin right now

[strange gull]

how long does it take for uf to get back with you after filling out the housing application?

or do the appointments come out in may..

[sullen bobcat]

last yr, appointment times were released on 5/10/2024

[flint wharf]

yall have me worried

like 4 people in my school got in UF compared to 15 last year

[sullen bobcat]

apples to oranges because this year had EA round.

[upbeat imp]

Ea though. My son said 8 vs 15 last year at his HS so far

[flint wharf]

how much do you think Uf like journalism ECs

cause ik they got a good j school

[topaz stirrup]

My school had a 100% decrease in UF acceptances

1 -> 0

[topaz stirrup]

omg yes I’m in cjc

I cannot speak highly of it enough

I literally love every aspect of the cjc

my professors are all industry professionals, the classes are engaging and actually prepare you for internships, the advisors are great

I’m a pr major but I’m taking journalism reporting rn

The alligator is also regarded as a pretty good student paper which is cool

[toxic roost]

@topaz stirrup how’s UF

[toxic roost]

same

i was one of the 4

by some miracle bruh

[toxic roost]

bro UF had 90k applicants for EA

[obtuse olive]

no that’s for total

60k ea

[toxic roost]

oh fr?

[obtuse olive]

yes

[toxic roost]

bruh

damn

[obtuse olive]

check the second p pop a res graph

Paragrapoh* omg water on my ohone

[toxic roost]

gotchuuu

did u get deferred

[obtuse olive]

yes

[empty frigate]

Can you show the bottom part? I got deferred but can’t find the email

And does that mean they are only accepting 6700 people? Doesn’t seem like a lot

[obtuse olive]

We want to reassure you that students who received a deferred decision in Early Action will be considered for admission. No additional information is required at this time. However, if they have updated test scores, they may self-report them via their Gator Portal until this Friday, January 31, (as this is the materials deadline for Regular Decision). Their application will be reviewed along with the Regular Decision applicants, and they will receive a final decision on March 14.

Students who received a Deny decision can request an appeal by calling the Office of Admissions at 352-392-1365 starting February 3 for Early Action applicants. Please keep in mind that appeal decisions will not be released until after Regular Decisions.

With the record number of applications we received, the selection process has been both exciting and incredibly competitive. Our holistic review process allows us to look at the full picture of each applicant, beyond just GPA and test scores, and consider all the unique qualities they may bring to UF.

The entire Admissions Team and I sincerely appreciate all the support you have provided to your students throughout this process, and we are grateful for your continued partnership.

Thank you for everything you do to help guide your students on their journey!

Warm regards,

Aretha M. Minor
Interim Director of Admissions

[obtuse olive]

no. accepted students ≠ enrollment

they have space to accept 15,000 applicants

but only a certain number will enroll

[empty frigate]

Ah ok, not that familiar with all this stuff lol. Hope they accept a decent number in RD. Good luck to you

[native oak]

I’ve loved this part particularly because it feels so current and I feel I can actually understand what’s going on around me

[native oak]

It got national coverage twice recently - once with the protests against Sasse and then again reporting on the alleged exorbitant spending and nonexistent audit also by the Sasse administration

[native oak]

Good Lord.

[native oak]

13,000 is a good ballpark from past years with that many slots

[obtuse olive]

it might be over 😭

[leaden grove]

I got in

[sullen bobcat]

gratz

[toxic roost]

same broo

[upbeat imp]

6,700 class? Is that a typo? Did they mean 16,700?

[native oak]

Nope

My class they accepted about 13-14K for a class of about 7K planned to commit

[upbeat imp]

Ah!

I thought there were more students at uf than that

[native oak]

55K total

But that’s overall

[upbeat imp]

And confirmed they offered 12k ea. Interesting. Final #s will be fun

[obtuse olive]

oh god. sickening

how did you get this info

[upbeat imp]

Ea should have a higher decline rate by the students

[obtuse olive]

where did you get 12k from

[upbeat imp]

An admission or admin on /r/ufl stated it

I'll see if I can find it

https://www.reddit.com/r/ufl/comments/1ibl2xm/comment/m9j07xg/

[obtuse olive]

I genuinely hope that's hearsay. Burner account with no history. But oofta, it was truly nice dreaming about UF while i had a semblance of a hope that admission was possible

I slink back now.

[upbeat imp]

Had staff flair. I assumed that means an admin gave that?

Or can you self flair?

[obtuse olive]

I'm not certain

[sullen bobcat]

If this 12k is true, then EA admit rate is close to 20% (=12k/60k), which is a lot higher than what ppl were saying in FB.

[empty frigate]

Then someone said 9k. Nobody really knows lol

[upbeat imp]

Yeah. I'm doubting. You're right no history. I saw staff and assumed that was more official

[obtuse olive]

also this makes 0 logical sense too

bc admission chance is equal in ea and rd per uf admission policy (iirc?)

[sullen bobcat]

source?

[solid galleon]

i thought the difference between ea and rd acceptances arent as different as ppl make it out to be

[obtuse olive]

I actually do not have a source for this. I believe an SAO said this recently (?)

[sullen bobcat]

ppl in FB are speculating EA admit rate was 13%-15% (but not verified)

if true (again speculation), UF accepted 8-9k apps in EA

if true, then UF may admit another 6-7k in RD. (assuming UF will admit 15k total)

[obtuse olive]

there is no chance that uf has an acceptance rate of over 17% this year

[obtuse olive]

btw when you say admit 15k

does this include pathways

or just summer/fall

from what i remember its just summer/fall right

i wonder how many kids they rolled over for rd

[obtuse olive]

im going to speculate that UF deferred no more than 8k kids then

my reasoning for this is that there is no point to deferring any more if they have a capped acceptance of 15k. any more, itd be rolling over excess amount of students just for a guaranteed amount to be denied. resource wise, this makes sense.

[sullen bobcat]

The most recent data is for 2023 admission (2 yrs ago):

CDS doesn't define what admitted means. I believe 15k only includes summer/fall

[sullen bobcat]

agreed. 15k acceptance /90k total apps = ~17%.

[obtuse olive]

truly saddening

[sullen bobcat]

No idea about how many got deferred. 8k seems a reasonable number.

[sullen bobcat]

a parent posted this in FB:

"from my son's school, there are about 880 seniors. About 300 applied to early action, 46 accepted, 50 deferred is what I heard. So about 15% just looking at our school 😞. Not sure how many applied for regular decision. My son was deferred, hoping he still has a chance to get in. Keeping our faith 🙌🏼"

the total number of deferred may be indeed similar to the total # of EA admitted.

[obtuse olive]

perhaps…. 7k/7k ratio

or..8k8k?

[hazy shuttle]

Both experiences I’ve with people from the cjc have been really chill and cool. Harrison Hove was my orientation advisor and I watched him tell an advisor to override pre reqs for a student who wanted a class in the cjc. Geoff Thompson was a chill and funny lecturer

[native oak]

You can self flair.

[native oak]

Pathways is not until spring

[native oak]

Christine Bucan was really good as a lecture prof, helped her grad TA get teaching experience (said TA is the reason I’m not drowning in my AP style writing class right now) and also was understanding of how I take exams and very fair when pushing me to do well but also giving me time to wrap my brain around an exam problem

[wind patrol]

On par with Michigan, unc, uva

[whole jolt]

Deferred... Could've just deferred me on day one instead of waiting 7 days

[topaz stirrup]

I love it

[topaz stirrup]

Right

[woeful minnow]

Does Pace program start in the fall or they have a summer term too?

[sullen bobcat]

GEE-day (for admitted engineering students) announced for 3/31/2025

https://www.eng.ufl.edu/engineeringambassadors/gee-day/

we couldn't attend the GEE-day last year. many engineering clubs will have booths showcasing their activities.

[strange gull]

https://tenor.com/view/dance-galinda-glinda-wicked-getting-ready-gif-14166646621993153546

THATS ME

didn't know they had a whole showcase!! ty for sending

[toxic roost]

damn i heard around 16-17 but also speculation

[sullen bobcat]

16-17% will likely be the overall (EA+RD) acceptance rate (=15k/90k)

[toxic roost]

betttt

it’s my top choice rn

[toxic roost]

crazy tbh

[sullen bobcat]

does it mean you are waiting for other decisions?

[toxic roost]

yeah

[sullen bobcat]

GL!

[toxic roost]

i got into uf and um though so im grateful i have options atp

[toxic roost]

thanks 🫡🫡

[sullen bobcat]

miami or michigan?

[toxic roost]

miami

[sullen bobcat]

did you sign up for any UF admitted events?

[toxic roost]

no not yet

[topaz stirrup]

it’s so fun

my classes are all great

Student life is great

[strange gull]

the gators in chat are like walking uf advertisements

https://tenor.com/view/yes-daumen-hoch-prima-thumbs-up-allligator-gif-15354784

[toxic roost]

bettt what year are u

[topaz stirrup]

I’m a first year

[muted vale]

Have we heard of merit scholarships getting out?

[native oak]

I'm the elder 4th year

[upbeat imp]

they said this week or next

[sullen bobcat]

GL! Hope many A2C get it.

[hazy shuttle]

That’s awesome. From my experience and what I’ve heard, cjc seems to be a lot more personable and friendly than at least the college of engineering

[toxic roost]

nice nice bro

how are u feeling abt graduating

[native oak]

Excited and slightly terrified

Going into theme parks and the hiring pendulum is swinging from Universal to Disney so hoping to be back at Disney

[strange gull]

is the college of engineering scary especially asking for the girls bc that's me

[native oak]

Not too scary! I survived!

[strange gull]

didn't you switch to something really different? or am I misremembering..
-# not being rude just trying to understand the engineering vibe </3

[native oak]

I went from Industrial and Systems Engineering (the business ops side of engineering) to business admin with a mass comm minor

Realized I was not made for cad or wiring or chemistry but did enjoy my presentations and project based work

So I told my parents I didn’t want to build the rollercoaster but manage all the fun things around it

And now both internships I’ve been the person sent to translate what the technical people are saying to the decision makers so stuff happens

Or look how how things can work better

But yes I was engineering my first year haha and I am still in one engineering club

[strange gull]

this is so extremely real...

I'm glad the stuff you learned in that first year still helps you out today !!! that's so fun

[strange gull]

on a completely unrelated note did I mess up my roommate profile

i chose "neat" instead of "immaculate" and my dad said that was stupid

bc you'd rather have an immaculate roommate than a neat roommate

but i don't want to be harassed if I'm not immaculate 💔 bc im truthfully NOT

[native oak]

Neat means you’re human

[strange gull]

thank u celeste

I literally just want to be able to see the floor and not have mold/food mess

[lofty raptor]

Who the fuck is NORTHEAST CHRISTIAN ACADEMY?!

I did not go there

[native oak]

Sounds like either they processed whatever was in your zip code or you got a reason to call the admissions office!

[lofty raptor]

they said call northeast christian academy lmfao

also

how calculate gpa lmao

[sullen bobcat]

Check out

https://uf.swe.org/
https://ufwicse.com/

[native oak]

SWE is awesome, they host their own career fair

[lofty raptor]

whats SWE

[native oak]

Society of Women engineers

[upbeat imp]

We thinking next week for the merit scholarships?

[native oak]

Sir, we have no idea. SFA works on their own schedule, but 3ish weeks after decisions release is as good a guess as any. If we know, we’ll tell you.

[strange gull]

do men overrun it I've seen so many videos of dudes going to women's engineering career fairs bc it's "less competition"

[sullen bobcat]

check the link above. 0 male leaderships

[native oak]

I don’t believe so but there’s also a good amount of respect amongst the engineering guys here. Like they actually have manners

I’m thoroughly impressed by the personalities and bearings of the first years I work with in Gator TPED

[strange gull]

it's not about leadership, it's just how much respect the dudes have for the organization

[sullen bobcat]

when you visit UF, go to SWE office hours. It has a permanent office in Weil

office hours are posted in their website

[strange gull]

thank u thank u

I also moved my Florida days registration bc they decided to have one during grad bash ????

that's genuinely so evil

[native oak]

If that’s the universal grad bash they don’t plan to that schedule but I will happily deliver that message to our events coord 😅🤣

I live right smack dab next to universal so it affects traffic for me going home

[strange gull]

yeah idk if yall care but the dates for grad bash are 4/4, 4/5, 4/11, and 4/25

so um . stay off the road!

[hazy shuttle]

oh no, not scary at all. it’s just all my cs classes r so different than a lot of other classes. the cs department is extremely hyper focused on internships, which is REALLY good, but sometimes draining and so starkly different to my other more interesting classes

[hazy shuttle]

Gator TPED honestly looks so intriguing I’ve been thinking about checking out a gbm

[native oak]

COME SAY HI

our next guest speaker is actually one of my dearest industry friends

[hazy shuttle]

I can also say that from my perspective, there is a lot of woman inclusivity. I couldn’t tell you first hand as a guy of course, but from an outside perspective I have seen open and fair treatment

[hazy shuttle]

when is the next gbm?

[upbeat imp]

On the topic, how's East Hall? Is it still a bit antisocial engineering types? Maybe not the cleanest. Engineers do seem better rounded than when I was in school. ha

[native oak]

This upcoming Wednesday at 7:30pm!

[hazy shuttle]

Awesome, threw it on my calendar to attend

[sullen bobcat]

Despite its name, East Hall is located to west of most class rooms. It's Engineering LLC and close to (older) engineering buildings. But freshmen usually take GenED courses or engineering courses in large lecture halls, which are not closest to East Hall.

expect 10-15 min walk to lecture halls

[obtuse spindle]

y everyone hate on antisocial engineering types

ong they are actually goated

i cant stand talking to social white people theyre cooked af

[strange gull]

https://tenor.com/view/ariana-funny-face-ariana-grande-ariana-wicked-glinda-face-glinda-wicked-gif-16676633091675246962

what a string of words that was

[strange gull]

introverted is fine, but the true antisocials are extremely difficult to interact with and even harder to like

[obtuse spindle]

i think ur a social person so its difficult

[strange gull]

I'm actually not

like at all

but if someone tries to have a conversation with me, it's not like im going to struggle immensely

[obtuse spindle]

i unironically cant make eye contact with my parents sometimes like if ur not that cooked ur fine

i get along with korean shut-in league grinders better than nice bubbly social ppl they keep it real af

🙏

[strange gull]

ok... I just like people who are considerate of others, usually the shut-ins are not that

like if keeping it "real" is making a comment on my gender, race, or appearance on the first meeting, I'd rather them keep QUIET !

• colalations #729

question for current gators... are there any residence halls that are like . notably far away from anything to eat?

is that something I should even care about when considering my future dorm

[native oak]

I live far from both dining halls but I make my own food usually

Gator corner is closest to East Hall, Cypress/Honors Village and the ones near Norman are closest to Broward

Infinity is rather far out but is close to the good Gainesville dining

IE 4th street food market

[strange gull]

I wasn't sure if living near a dining hall was important bc apparently the dining plans apply to ALL restaurants and cafes on campus?
-# important note: I can barely cook

[strange gull]

infinity is infinitely far from everything 💔

[sullen bobcat]

meal plans are optional.

if you are considering meal plan, I 100% suggest you eat at the dining hall when you visit.

[strange gull]

that was the plan!!

my parents don't really cook so I think my standard for food is considerably lower than everyone else's. I DEVOURED usf/ucfs dining hall food 💜

[sullen bobcat]

I believe you can use the meal plan on campus food courts. 1 swipe is $7.25, which isn't enough for 1 meal.

[strange gull]

I'll probably end up getting the lowest meal plan and see the vibe after it expires

[sullen bobcat]

fyi, my kid is in HV and none of her neighbors (including she) has meal plan. Her roommate cancelled during grace period.

[reef shuttle]

my mom insisted on getting me the unlimited meal plan despite my best efforts to convince her i won’t use it that much

i’ll hopefully have a kitchen next year though meaning i can forego the meal plan

[strange gull]

my dad is the same way like I don't even eat that much at home dude 😭

[reef shuttle]

my mom is paying for my meal plan so i just let her buy the unlimited

[strange gull]

genuinely could live on 2 swipes a day if I continue being . sedentary

[reef shuttle]

you aren’t sedentary in college

especially at uf and ucf

[strange gull]

no same but like . we don't have the money to get an unlimited plan that I won't use

[strange gull]

that + having a goal to actually exercise helps

[reef shuttle]

then yeah definitely try to talk them down

i’d assume uf has a weekly 14/ 2 swipes a day option

[strange gull]

it has a 10/2 I think!

I'll get whatever is lowest first

[reef shuttle]

yup

theyre always happy to upgrade your plan

but never downgrade!

[lofty raptor]

im gonna go the weekly 14 at uf prob

cuz

i eat alot

but like

i eat alot in one sitting

so two meals a day plus the $7.25 meal credit should be good right

[reef shuttle]

does the meal credit not use a swipe

[lofty raptor]

nope

its for like

chickfilla

and stuff

[reef shuttle]

yup

we have the exact same thing here

[lofty raptor]

yes ik

but like

is it enough

or is it nothing

[reef shuttle]

what this means is that you can do either two dining hall meals or one dining hall meal one restaurant meal

[lofty raptor]

huh

you cant do like

two dining hall meals one restraunt meal

istg i thought it was

$7.25 plus 2 meal hall swipes

[reef shuttle]

no... the equivalency uses one of your meal swipes

[lofty raptor]

wait really

[reef shuttle]

its not in addition to a swipe, its in lieu of

[lofty raptor]

i would have never guessed

[reef shuttle]

yikes

this is also part of why you got shit on in the UF thread over meal swipes

[lofty raptor]

well

[strange gull]

WHAT ?

[lofty raptor]

ima have to do unlimited

[lofty raptor]

i didnt get shit

someone said

and i quote

[strange gull]

you do get a bit of shit

[lofty raptor]

"meal plans are not worth buying"

and they miscalculated the value of one swipe

is retail equivilancy tax free?

[reef shuttle]

the swipe and dining dollars are both tax free here

[lofty raptor]

oh alr

so like

it has to be unlimited

my meal plan that is

damn

i was hoping not to go for the super fat person meal plan

they need a weekly 21

[reef shuttle]

this is practically unlimited

nobody has time to eat 4 times a day...

i use the meal equivalency every day and try to go to the dining hall at least once

[lofty raptor]

where does the 4th one come from

i just wanna eat 3 times a day without going unlimited

and seeming like a fatass

[reef shuttle]

what was your sat english again

[lofty raptor]

720

[reef shuttle]

the three times a day crowd is served by the unlimited plan

[lofty raptor]

oh alright

[reef shuttle]

hmph

[lofty raptor]

what was yours

or did you not take it since AA

oh wait you have to have an SAT on file to dual enroll

what was it

[reef shuttle]

???

[reef shuttle]

i didnt dual enroll???

[lofty raptor]

istg i thought you said you had an AA

[reef shuttle]

that would be gracie

i did only AP

[lofty raptor]

oh alr

[reef shuttle]

i had a 35 ACT english which is what i submitted

are you excited for FSU decisions in 2 weeks

[lofty raptor]

so a 760ish

[lofty raptor]

hope i get denied

so i dont ever come close to that school

hey why is there an explosive on my desk labeled "from wiggle"?

[strange gull]

2 meal swipes / day + the ~$500 flex cash isnt enough </3

bros gonna get the freshmen 40

[reef shuttle]

is 500 per semester or year

[strange gull]

i couldnt tell u

[lofty raptor]

oh yeah

hmm

[strange gull]

https://tenor.com/view/glinda-wicked-ariana-grande-wicked-movie-galinda-gif-11334476120655637821

[lofty raptor]

thats like $4.7/day

[reef shuttle]

i reserve my dining dollars to be exclusively for topping off meal swipe equivalency

[lofty raptor]

honestly makes sence

[reef shuttle]

sense

[lofty raptor]

ok

[strange gull]

10 meal swipes per week plus $550 per semester

[lofty raptor]

i am bad at writing

and good at reading

the sat pretty much tests reading and like 2 writing questions

[strange gull]

is this more coping

[lofty raptor]

yes

[reef shuttle]

this seems solid

[strange gull]

[reef shuttle]

i have like... 250 or 300 per semester?

[strange gull]

nobodys starving on that

[lofty raptor]

on the maximum gator plan

oh wait

thats uhh

idk

wait 1 sec

375

on the weekly 14

[strange gull]

the max gator plan is unlimited swipes, $300 flex, $100 mobile credit, 10 retail equivalencies/wk, and 10 bonus meals.... per semester

[lofty raptor]

thats literally $25/week

[strange gull]

how far are you reaching into your rectum to pull out these numbers

[lofty raptor]

16.66 on the blue unlimited

[strange gull]

im CONFUSED !

[lofty raptor]

$375 divided by 15 weeks in a semester

[strange gull]

just the flex dollars? yes that makes sense

overall? NO

[lofty raptor]

no

but like

$25 for a weeks worth of restraunt lunches

[reef shuttle]

restaurant

[strange gull]

ur not supposed to be eating restaurant lunches everyday unless ur rich

[reef shuttle]

i use a retail swipe every day

[strange gull]

$25 is more like.. 3 nice restaurant meals a week

[reef shuttle]

we get $7 from the swipe and a panda bowl is $8.30

[strange gull]

not counting retail swipes king </3

just the raw flex cash

[reef shuttle]

i literally do not eat on campus if its not a retail swipe

i go off campus its cheaper and better

chipotle chicken bowl for $9.50 whereas its $14 for the campus run mexican place thats both smaller portions and tastes worse

[strange gull]

thats bc u go to fsu

the dining hall workers were so mean to me there

imagine paying for that treatment

[upbeat imp]

Just asked on CC and she said they were finishing up and could possibly be released today. Fingers crossed.

4h ago. Merit Scholarships

so close!

probably early next week

[sullen bobcat]

Last year, it was emailed after 6 pm

so could be any minute, if it's released today. GL!

[strange gull]

i got an email inviting me to apply for scholarships like

5h ago

OH I GOT ONE

[upbeat imp]

email or portal?

[strange gull]

^

but i see the honors scholarship in my portal

thats all i got

OH THEY JUST SENT ANOTHER EMAIL

[wind patrol]

W I got that too

[strange gull]

i think every honors student gets it tbh

but its better than NOTHING !

[wind patrol]

Does that mean you can still get presidential scholarships?

[strange gull]

i dont think they have presidential, but you apply for all other scholarships ur eligible for

i LIED they do have presidential but i feel like they wouldve been relased w this

[wind patrol]

yea idk

[strange gull]

actually google exists so

[sullen bobcat]

I don't think so. That $1k/yr scholarship is in the same category as Presidential

[wind patrol]

Oh alright

[strange gull]

i dont think it is?? the presidential ones are all listed here

[little siren]

yeah

you can

[sullen bobcat]

https://www.sfa.ufl.edu/types-of-aid/scholarships/

I'm pretty sure the 1st one is called "Honors scholarship"

Congrats on the merit scholarship! The recognition is a big deal!

[sullen bobcat]

As you can see above, SFA and AO post different information on their respective webpages.
We found this is not an isolated incident, as UF is a big university. It's frustrating at first but now minor contradiction is expected.

[muted vale]

Anyone know if these roll out all at once or over a period of time? Also where in the portal was this?

[strange gull]

thats an email

• going to guess all at once since thats what some people in chat said

[muted vale]

rip

still a gator doe

[sullen bobcat]

Honors director posted this a few days ago:

2025 UF Merit Awards / Scholarship Info (subject to change)

• NEW THIS YEAR! All students who were admitted to Honors via EA will be eligible to apply for the John V. Lombardi Scholars and Stamps Scholars programs - the Honors Program Signature Merit Awards. Those students will be notified via email very soon, and there will be a quick turnaround for the application. Unlike previous years, applications are not limited per high school - any EA Honors admit may apply.
• Lombardi / Stamps are not typical UF Merit awards - in addition to requiring a separate application / in-person interview day for finalists (w/ esteemed faculty and staff), both awards involve required summer enrichment activities as a cohort, as well as expectations for other scholarly engagement outside of the classroom.
• The award is managed by Student Financial Aid & Scholarships, but the program activities are managed by Honors. https://www.honors.ufl.edu/.../lombardi-scholarship.../
• Other UF Merit Awards / Scholarships do not have a separate application process. Those selections are made (not by Honors) using the students' UF applications for admission.
• EA admits should be notified by 1/31 if they have received a UF Merit award. RD admits should be notified by 3/21.
• Honors admits who do not receive any other UF Merit aid (including URSP) should expect a $4000 merit award ($500 tuition waiver / semester for 4 years).
• Comprehensive financial aid packages (including need-based aid) should be available by 3/31 for all new admits.
• Financial Aid / Scholarship questions should go to UF OneStop (virtual appts recommended). https://www.onestop.ufl.edu/

[little siren]

Did merit aid come out

[sullen bobcat]

yes, scroll up to 6 pm

[upbeat imp]

Same for my son. He's hitting accept tomorrow

[native oak]

Welcome to the Gator Nation!

[little siren]

Yeah that’s honors has presidential

[frank stone]

anyone got merit?

[hazy shuttle]

Am I misreading that acceptance in honors guarantees 4k scholarship barring the receiving of any other scholarship?

[strange gull]

id cry

[hazy shuttle]

Isn’t it the one you received?

[strange gull]

I think it's saying that honors students who get no other merit aid get the $4000 thingy

[strange gull]

yes but I can apply for many others so I won't cry

[hazy shuttle]

bro let me become a ‘29 what

[strange gull]

https://tenor.com/view/glinda-wicked-ariana-grande-wicked-movie-galinda-gif-11334476120655637821

me arriving to uf getting paid $100k/semester in excess merit scholarships
-# this is not serious .

[sullen bobcat]

(not sure what your q is) If you are asking, whether an honors students can get $1k/yr Honors + Presidential, I doubt one student can get 2 different scholarship from this category.

But he can get other scholarship not in the above list.

[sullen bobcat]

Jodi thinks $1k/yr Honors scholarship and $1k/yr FL merit scholarships are 2 different scholarships

[topaz stirrup]

This is what I would guess too

[woeful minnow]

How does it work if I have bright futures, Pell and Fl prepaid. What gets charged first for tuition? What can I use for housing? What can I use for other fees like books codes and other class fees?

[topaz stirrup]

Bright futures pays for your tuition after add/drop week

I’m not sure about the other two

[topaz stirrup]

Tbh you can get around paying for books 90% of the time

[muted vale]

@topaz stirrup i am STRUGGLING to get my gatormail working

just gives me errors every time 😦

nvm they responded
!

[sullen bobcat]

Q to admitted students: Do you have access to https://one.uf.edu/ before committing to UF?

[strange gull]

yes bc of the gatorlink. this is where i saw i got the honors scholarship b4 they emailed me LOL

[midnight sparrow]

uf ily

let me in bbg

[native oak]

I wanna start playing virtual whacka mole or a drinking (water) game everytime someone comes in here saying “uf let me in”

[strange gull]

we would be so hydrated

[native oak]

Good haha

[hazy shuttle]

I can say for Pell i just get the full as refund because my bright futures pays off the tuition

Unless I have other costs that go over my tuition, pretty sure it just auto deducts from my refund

[hazy shuttle]

uf let me in

[obtuse olive]

you have to understand deferred students going thru hell rn

it was bad enough waiting for decision day 1

im so excited for decision day 2 electric boogaloo

[woeful minnow]

I am new. How does the meal plan and swipes work? Can I use swipes at the retail places off campus?

[sullen bobcat]

not for off campus. check out meal plan FAQ at https://dineoncampus.com/UF/faq

[reef shuttle]

can’t use it off campus, just on campus for the $7 discount

[frozen perch]

man UF making hella weird decisions this year lol

saw so many people who were accept/defer at UIUC or GT get defer/reject at UF

even FL residents

[topaz stirrup]

The only thing I could think of is their essays

Idk

a lot of people underestimate them i think

[topaz stirrup]

Also, UF doesn’t admit by major and I think UIUC and GT both do

[topaz stirrup]

IMO!!!! I think UF looks for well rounded people, not just super geniuses who don’t socialize too much

but I am not an AO

[frozen perch]

i mean yeah there’s a lot of inherent randomness but UF is becoming far more selective this year

even last year

[topaz stirrup]

I think that the random 1200 SAT admits were a fluke, but most of the admitted class is high academic

no offense to those who got in with a 1200 but that’s def the exception to the rule

[strange gull]

aggressive upvote

[sullen bobcat]

It's hard to generalize because this is the 1st time UF had EA round. Can't really compare UF EA results with other schools (who have decades of experience)

I speculate that UF only accepted exceptional students in the EA round and deferred a lot to RD. (they had 1 less month to make the decision this year, despite the same number of applicants who submitted by 11/1/2024)

[frozen perch]

yeah fair

[native oak]

You are not wrong on this at all

[lofty raptor]

[sullen bobcat]

lol. Many parents in FB are debating whether UF practices yield management or not.

[topaz stirrup]

I would say no

it’s just that the “lower” end of applicants get more attention/coverage

plenty of 1500+/34+ 4.7/4.0 applicants with crazy ECs were let in, per usual

[broken plaza]

Was UF just particularly harsh this year? Maybe they’re tougher in schools that have a lot of people applying there.

I got in for CS out of state from Cali

[sullen bobcat]

can't answer because UF didn't have EA results before

[broken plaza]

I see

[sullen bobcat]

congrats

[broken plaza]

🎊

[native oak]

I saw that haha

[sullen bobcat]

Wish UF released this kind of information.

That's GaTech. I doubt UF will.

[native oak]

I remember that happening when I got deferred from Gatech - I’m going to “check the temperature” at our meeting this week and parse how our AOs are feeling or what might get mentioned

[sullen bobcat]

Last yr, I thought UF enrolled 6700 freshmen for c/o 2028. But "6700" is from 2 yrs ago for c/o 2027.
ppl are now saying UF enrolled 7500+ students last year (overenrolled by 1000)
if these are all true + 30k more applicants, the acceptance rate for this year will be a lot lower than last yr.

[wind patrol]

Yield protection is cope

[topaz stirrup]

I’m so excited for our SAO shirts!!!

[acoustic gyro]

been saying florida schools don’t yield protect

[strange gull]

did yall see the reddit post on ufl that was like "my baby has a 1560 sat score and a 4.0 gpa and was rejected. why? i can't imagine the essay mattered much."

[acoustic gyro]

i seen that😭😭

[strange gull]

like I'm gonna hold ur hand when I say this....

[obtuse olive]

Facts

[topaz stirrup]

yeah, I don't know of ANY florida school that yield protects

i think you're right

[topaz stirrup]

we're also missing a crucial detail about what their ECs were

[native oak]

Ditto!!! It’s been a good bit of time in the making!

ALSO GRACIE CONSTITUTION STUFF IS GOING UP FOR A VOTE

WOOOOOO

I’m finalizing the last proposal thing once I get my laptop plugged in again but Keely approved voting on the first one tomorrow so I’m a happy camper

[topaz stirrup]

Yay!!!

[native oak]

https://tenor.com/view/finished-elijah-wood-lord-of-the-rings-lava-fire-gif-5894611

[lofty raptor]

hmm

lemme post my deferral letter

[woeful minnow]

How does the application review happen? For example the app gets deferred. Does the application now have some kind of notes from the 1st reviewer so now when the app goes to RD, the 2nd reviewer can see the notes on why the 1st reviewer thought that the app deserved to be deferred and not rejected?

[lofty raptor]

Does deferred mean "considered as RD" or "we need extra time"?

[native oak]

That’s a great question - I’ll ask our AOs! This is the first time we’re doing EA and deferrals so I’m not too clear on the process. However, in prior years, AOs have taken notes so applications can be discussed in a group review after the individual review - usually this is to help figure out who is a definite for on campus and who could possibly be admitted via Pace or a Pathway.

Sometimes it’s just comparing the applicant against the pool thus far, but don’t stress out too much about notes. If I remember correctly, a lot of the discussion tends to be what opportunities someone might fit into on campus based off of the ECs, areas of interest, and essay

[lofty raptor]

hmm

wait

cant they just like

average the sat scores

and just see where you stand

or whatever

[native oak]

The former. Deferred means delaying a decision until it can be reviewed in the RD pool

[lofty raptor]

Alr

I had question

should i apply for uf online

[native oak]

It’s not just numbers - it’s also personality/interests. Applications are reviewed within the context of your school profile (usually like a three page doc that lists available advanced courses, important demographic statistics, and sometimes even clubs/class clarifications

[lofty raptor]

hmm

that may be an issue

can I dm you my school profile

because like

[native oak]

So if you didn’t take any APs but you took honors and your school only offered honors, then you would be seen as having challenged yourself with what was available

[lofty raptor]

its 1 page and just talks about some dumb stuff

[woeful minnow]

I would like to hear back from you after you hear back from AO. Also Pace would really work better for me instead of the campus admission. Is there a way to let them know? I was always interested in 2+2 Pace

[native oak]

If you have access to it, sure! I probably won’t be able to do much actionable stuff with it.

(If it’s a troll Gracie gets to deal with you muahaha)

[native oak]

When you applied, did you list a Pace major?

[lofty raptor]

its 2 pages

[native oak]

(Also if you’re business you’re technically reverse pace but it’s very similar ish)

[lofty raptor]

whats reverse pace

[woeful minnow]

Yes listed Pace

[native oak]

I pretty much have had all online classes my last two years of my degree

Because business is special

I only have one in person class this semester and it’s for my communications minor

[lofty raptor]

https://tenor.com/view/university-of-florida-pace-online-school-education-gif-428611879638784125

[native oak]

Pace still means you’re a gator - doesn’t even mention you were pace on your degree 😉

[lofty raptor]

i mean

isnt there alot of fun stuff on campus sophmore year

research

internships

drug trafficking cult

[native oak]

I did not experience any of those

Most of my activities sophomore fall were online and sophomore spring was a weird haze (though I had the closest thing I’ve had to a relationship but ended up being very misaligned so that trauma helps me remember what year I stopped being a sophomore lol)

Oh wait

That was the stupid trauma of a girl in my theme park club letting power go to her head

And is what ended up pushing me into much more direct industry involvement to get around the power play

[lofty raptor]

i mean

drug trafficking cult is very common at UF right?

we traffic drugs into tallahasse to ruin their economy

and boost the gainseville economy

correct?

[woeful minnow]

Can’t you still participate and contribute to to research online?

[lofty raptor]

idk

[obtuse olive]

im going to ucf on the 24th and 1st

[native oak]

You can! My marketing class had that option - I just don’t do a lot in the academic research stuff myself

[lofty raptor]

mov why does yours say deferred

oh

uf

[lofty raptor]

same

i just remembered

[sullen bobcat]

If any one applied for UF Innovation Academy, here's an important announcement posted in FB:

"Innovation Academy statement from UF
Dear Students, Parents, and Campus Community,
We are writing to provide important information regarding the admissions and enrollment process for the Innovation Academy.
It is important to note that admission decisions for the Innovation Academy have not yet been released. While Early Action admission decisions were announced on Jan. 24, no admissions to any Pathway Programs, including the Innovation Academy, were made during Early Action. Admissions to UF’s Pathway Programs, including the Innovation Academy, will be announced during Regular Decision on March 14.
UF has received a record number of applications for this year’s admission cycle. As a selective university, the admissions process is highly competitive, and not all applicants can be admitted.

The Innovation Academy was created ten years ago with a unique Spring-Summer academic year, which provides many advantages. Over time, the university began allowing Innovation Academy students to enroll in the Fall semester and begin taking non-degree classes, but this schedule change departed from the intended model of the Innovation Academy.
Beginning in the 2025 Fall semester, the university is reverting to the original design of the program. Students newly enrolled in the Innovation Academy will begin in the Spring of 2026. This decision was made by UF administration and reflects a strong belief in the value of the Spring-Summer schedule. UF is committed to providing a transformative experience for all students, regardless of the semester they begin their studies.
We understand that there may be concerns and confusion regarding this decision, especially among students or parents who expected to be allowed to enroll in the Fall. If any student who indicated an interest in the Innovation Academy on their application wishes to withdraw from consideration for this program, please email the admissions office at [email protected] by Feb. 24.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Office of Admissions
Division of Enrollment Management
201 Criser Hall - PO Box 114000

[strange gull]

innovation academy is such an evil program

has anyone ever benefited from ia

[sullen bobcat]

Nobody at r/UFL likes IA

But some parents in FB like it

[lofty raptor]

IA funny asf

is IA admit rate higher then reg admit rate (EG, does admit boost chances)?

[strange gull]

the name sounds so cool but then I did my research and I . did not feel it

[sullen bobcat]

I bet many HS students applied to IA for its name without doing any research.

[strange gull]

I almost did ngl 💜

[lofty raptor]

hey BHEMH

odd question but do you know when is the last day to select my top choice college

[flint wharf]

for NMSC it’s May 1st

[sullen bobcat]

May 1st is correct. For now, leave it as "undecided" in NMSC. After you commit, then select the school. It can get a bit tricky, if you select one and NMSC notifies the school and later you change the school.

3/1/2025 is NOT the deadline

[merry frost]

oh crap I already selected UF back in october but well...

can I change it to undecided rn?

nvm i changed it

is there supposed to be any acknowledgement of change?

got an email

[sullen bobcat]

fyi, the bold part in the screenshot is what I was saying.

[obtuse spindle]

bro publics r just random

idt it has anything to do with the application at all

i think most publics get too many apps so they use rng with slight bias based on a rating given by aos skimming through files

like some guy working in IT for ut austin said most apps just fell off into the void and he didnt know what happened to them or if they were read or not

[lofty raptor]

lmao

uhh

this is march 1st

[obtuse olive]

…..

[topaz stirrup]

pls dm people to coordinate, don’t share where you’ll be here

[native oak]

If any of y’all have people saying admitted student tours are full….no they aren’t, folks

(And more tour dates will be dropping within the next few weeks!)

[lofty raptor]

oh alr

dm me if you will be at the ucf scholars event pls

i dont like cold dming

(if thats not allowed lmk)

[topaz stirrup]

@native oak pinging bc you may know, but do the IA changes affect current students?

[frozen perch]

looks like i was in the bottom 62% of GT applicants 😭

[native oak]

Currently enrolled we don’t think so but Gillian was saying IA keeps sending people over to admissions when admissions is like “…why?”

[reef shuttle]

wdym IA changes

[native oak]

They aren’t allowing freshman to take UF classes or be involved in student clubs first fall

They are a hard spring 2025 start

[reef shuttle]

was this not the case originally?

kinda thought that would’ve been done from the start

[native oak]

It was and then it got reverted and now it’s back

Like you could take online classes for fall and live off campus

[lofty raptor]

the essay mattered that much

[topaz stirrup]

But now IA kids can’t do fall rush either which is pretty big

[native oak]

Not to mention get recruited to SAO

Or other orgs that only do fall recruitment

[reef shuttle]

sigma alpha omicron

[native oak]

Yeah haha that

So close to us getting stoles

[woeful minnow]

What kind of clubs or orgs available for admitted to Pace ?

[obtuse olive]

if there is no pathway for a student that would otherwise have gotten pace or the like, are they more likely to be admitted in their major summer/fall or rejected

[tough nimbus]

Rejected

[midnight sparrow]

uf most underrated uni

half of the people dont know what im talking about when i bring up uf

[hazy shuttle]

thanks university of washington

[hazy shuttle]

like pace specific clubs/orgs, or which campus ones are open to pace students?

because if its the latter, idk of any orgs that reject you only because youre pace

[woeful minnow]

Both

[reef shuttle]

its rated

[brittle fern]

hi, I need help deciding between Purdue vs UF for computer engineering. any advice?

[tough nimbus]

Purdues prob higher ranked

[reef shuttle]

what is the cost of each?

[tough nimbus]

However I have friends that r currently in fye and they are not huge fans

Prob very similar

Unless ur in state for one of them

[brittle fern]

I am in Florida

[reef shuttle]

go to UF 100%

do you have full bright futures?

[tough nimbus]

Do you have bright future

[brittle fern]

yes full BF

[tough nimbus]

Take the full ride and go to uf

[reef shuttle]

erm ackshually its full tuition 🤓

[tough nimbus]

I’m from oos idk how it works

Do u have prepaid?

[haughty stirrup]

is it alot harder to oos florida

[brittle fern]

yes I do prepaid too

[tough nimbus]

‼️

UF it is

[reef shuttle]

110% UF

[reef shuttle]

for UF specifically, state residency isnt considered in admissions

[tough nimbus]

160k out of pocket for Purdue isn’t justifiable when u have uf

[haughty stirrup]

wait thats so nice

[reef shuttle]

@tough nimbus UF oos is like, 30k tuition right?

[tough nimbus]

40

[reef shuttle]

total cost or just tuition

[tough nimbus]

Total

Ohh tuition

I think maybe like 33-35

Depends on credits

[brittle fern]

how is Computer engineering in UF

[reef shuttle]

FSU has an in state only EA, but i think RD is also fair game

[brittle fern]

I am interested more in CE then CS

[reef shuttle]

i dont have personal experience but ive heard their engineering program overall is solid and know theyre investing heavily back into the tech sector rn

[tough nimbus]

Not as good as Purdue but still strong

Yeah idrk how Compe is bc I’m ise

But they’ve spent a lottt of money on the supercomputer

And like ai initiatives

[reef shuttle]

per the dept of ed website computer engineering is UF's 2nd highest paying major

1st being CS

median salary for CE is 118k at purdue and 115k at UF

a 3k/yr difference is definitely not worth 30k/yr extra

[brittle fern]

agree

[strange gull]

u know its time to leave the college of engineering "ask a gator" when the questions go from helpful to a subtle competition of whos taken more advanced classes

"is there a limit to how many ap credits i can bring in?"
"what if i've gotten 5s on ap chem and both ap calcs?"
"what if i've taken multivariable calculus?"

https://tenor.com/view/tole-tole-cat-cat-vro-cat-gif-17161343143756375842

[haughty stirrup]

uf admits on major right

Are life sciences very competitive

[reef shuttle]

no

although some deferral pathways depend on major, or at least used to?

[haughty stirrup]

so id have somewhat the same chance of like

[reef shuttle]

not all majors are offered for innovation academy and i think the same goes for pace

[haughty stirrup]

business aplmicants?

[reef shuttle]

youd have the same "chance" as the 90000 other applicants

[haughty stirrup]

dang

[sullen bobcat]

check DM

[sullen bobcat]

who hosted the engineering session? Michael Todd?

[strange gull]

joel parker! what an icon

[sullen bobcat]

I know him. he's good

[strange gull]

i only knew his name bc i was stalking that uf in lille page while i was writing my uf essays

never ended up including it in my essay but . i observed it!

[woeful minnow]

Does UF use AI in applications review?

[topaz stirrup]

no, humans look at your app

[woeful minnow]

Love it

[topaz stirrup]

it isn’t “filtered” by ai or anything either

[woeful minnow]

I just read somewhere that UNC uses AI

[native oak]

COA just about but it’s lower than a lot of instate stuff for northeast schools

[native oak]

Not at all

[native oak]

Oh my gosh he was my advisor when I was in engineering

He was honestly amazing

I still get to bump into him at Admissions events when I work and it’s always a nice convo

[strange gull]

this is kinda tea
https://www.dailytarheel.com/article/2025/01/university-admissions-essays

[strange gull]

he seems so chill i wanna go to france with him and take his lil class

[sullen bobcat]

UF in Lille is one of the popular summer program. gets filled up quickly

[strange gull]

ill have to lock in

true engineering would be making a bot to snipe the application as soon as its open
-# THIS IS A JOKE!

[haughty stirrup]

🤢

[hazy shuttle]

Yeah I don’t believe any clubs or org prevent pace students from participating, at least none I’ve heard of. you’re a student regardless. it’s mostly about choosing whether to live near campus or not

@native oak that tped gbm has me hooked. was super interesting and fun

[midnight sparrow]

i don’t know anyone who’s applying there except me

at least in my entire school

and everyone keeps making fun of me for applying to it too 😭

[hazy shuttle]

see in my humble opinion, uf is the ivy of the south. really its the ivy of the nation tbh

[native oak]

YAYYYYY

(I don’t think I got the chance to say hi)

[hazy shuttle]

haha all good, I dont believe you’d even realize who I am there tbh. if the gbms are always weds night I’ll definitely keep attending, the club seems to line up pretty close to my passions

[woeful cypress]

Guys for UF transfer, the question asking you for a short answer about why your major, do you just write a short answer or a supplemental of sorts?

[native oak]

It is! I was the gal with the blonde curly hair

[hazy shuttle]

idk if you saw me but I was far back left with a blue sweater. I’ll make sure to say hi next time!

[lofty raptor]

hello

i am so in pain

from waiting for UF

hmm'

lets apply for UF Online :3

actually no

hmm

[strange gull]

get a hobby

like and subscribe for more cola advice

[native oak]

Learn macrame

Play Cult of the Lamb

[sullen bobcat]

I'd look for summer internships that hire rising freshmen. They exist. Oh wait, they may not hire minors.

Many job listings ask "Are you 18+ yrs old?"

[strange gull]

id play roblox and focus on school
-# current plan for waiting on ivy plan...

[reef shuttle]

it’s not even just internships i couldn’t apply to a case competition because it required everyone to be 18

likely because of travel, le sigh

[native oak]

And liability

[reef shuttle]

yeah that

[woeful minnow]

In anticipation of the RD acceptance, what would be my next steps? When is orientation open? Meeting with an advisor? Etc

[reef shuttle]

i presume you will meet with an advisor as a part of orientation, thats how it was done at FSU at least

not sure when slots open up, but youll find info on the admitted students homepage

[sullen bobcat]

you can skip these and just attend the Preview

admitted student events are mostly for the "undecided"

the same information + a lot more will be presented in the 2-day Preview

but if you close to GNV, good idea to visit UF as an admitted but undecided student, as they will treat you well.

[tired dawn]

why did UF extend their RD deadline to March

?

does this happen every year

[sullen bobcat]

2024/25 is the 1st year that UF switched to EA/RD 2 rounds. Last yr, no EA round.

[woeful minnow]

I like that idea

[strange gull]

insanity

[woeful cypress]

Is there anyone applying to UF as a transfer

Or anyone that knows about that process

[wind patrol]

Where was this posted

[strange gull]

screenshotted from the honors program zoom i attended

[wind patrol]

Oh wow

bro got that unreleased info

[strange gull]

lowkey the facebook moms already leaked this days ago

I just got a pretty picture of it

middle 50% sat went down, I have no idea why but I imagine someone will respond with a very good idea

[wind patrol]

Yea was wondering about that

[sullen bobcat]

for honors admission, test scores are not as important as other factors

[strange gull]

there it is

they're very like... character oriented, right?

[sullen bobcat]

imo, the honors essay is the #1 factor for honors admission. UHP looks at whether the student will be a good fit for the honors mission.

This probably explains why not many Nat'l Merits (with high test scores) get into honors program.

[little siren]

yeah my national merit friend didn’t get in and I did

[haughty stirrup]

so thats honors

😭 i thought that was regular and my heart dropped 💀

[strange gull]

it says uf honors admissions statistics at the top 💔 don't get any heart attacks yet

[native oak]

No no, gosh no

[sullen bobcat]

If anyone wants tips on Preview Day, DM me. I have written "What we learned from 2024 Preview course registration". Because of some controversial opinion, I'm not willing to share with the public.

[native oak]

(Don’t worry, I cover my nametag badge when I say what I really feel like to families that ask me about preview)

[topaz stirrup]

oh woah I had a positive preview experience

it’s just so much information which isn’t fun but like … it’s necessary imo

[native oak]

I had class selection online and the social parts as a separate program

[topaz stirrup]

Oh

How did your class selection go? Mine was different cause I was at the associates degree one I think

I met with my actual advisor and she helped me pick my classes + a rough graduation plan

[lofty raptor]

hmm

guys i am anxiously stalking chanceme rn

[strange gull]

literally the worst subreddit ever

[lofty raptor]

yes i know

but

im nervous

[strange gull]

chanceme does NOT help with that

it's either overachievers flexing or overachievers whining about a rejection not including the toxicity of the community and a certain issue i don't think I can name here

[reef shuttle]

what’s with the new username

i will say you’re greater than me in terms of being delulu

[strange gull]

clocked

[reef shuttle]

admissions is something completely out of control once you submit so why even stress

[strange gull]

LITERALLY I'm so over the 17 decisions I'm waiting on

[reef shuttle]

you can p much consider that your decision is made the moment you submit

[reef shuttle]

real

[strange gull]

hoping for 3 acceptances for my ego but that's all

[hazy shuttle]

[lofty raptor]

i just thought it was funny

i'll change it

[reef shuttle]

i never said it wasn’t funny

i just gave my two cents on the matter

[lofty raptor]

you thought it though

hmm

[reef shuttle]

no it made me chuckle

it’s like reading an absurdist comic

[lofty raptor]

also I may end up doing FAU

but my mom said its too far 💀

its less than half an hour away

she wants me to go to community college (where i will not get Benaquisto) and live with her for 2 more years 💀

[reef shuttle]

when do you turn 16

because less than 30 minutes is an easy enough commute

[lofty raptor]

i would turn 16 summer before my sophmore year

i really hope I get PaCE tbh

because then

i can live at home

do like 60 credits in one year smh

and yeah

not all 60 in one year

ap credit, and summer enrollment

[reef shuttle]

yeah i was about to say

[lofty raptor]

that would be stupid if I did 60 in a year

[reef shuttle]

pace is summer start?

[lofty raptor]

with my APs though

I already have

[lofty raptor]

i dont know

maybe?

so

15 credits from AP

9 credits in a summer

30 credits in a year

9 credits summer 2

63 credits before I start my sophmore year

[reef shuttle]

having done 9 credits in summer B i wouldn’t recommend it

[lofty raptor]

hmm

6?

[reef shuttle]

that was hell on earth

[reef shuttle]

yeah

[lofty raptor]

so i would still have 60

[reef shuttle]

i literally got a migraine for the first time because of it

[lofty raptor]

summer A+B i could do a full 9 though right

[reef shuttle]

a+b you can do 12

[lofty raptor]

yeah but I only need 9

[reef shuttle]

but summer start is summer B

[lofty raptor]

so

[reef shuttle]

hmmm

[lofty raptor]

2 4s on my APs
15 ap credits
6 summer credits (summer B)
15 credits my first semester
15 credits my second semester
9 credits my second summer

start college with 60 credit

[reef shuttle]

well if you’re aware of a uf online course that’s like known for being insanely easy i’d consider

[lofty raptor]

whats the course

i was gonna take like

college algebra

[reef shuttle]

i’m asking if you know of any

[lofty raptor]

not rn

[reef shuttle]

are you not doing ap calc rn

[lofty raptor]

oh yeah

dont I need a college algebra credit though

[tough nimbus]

Do ur quest

[reef shuttle]

no???

no to college algebra not quest

[tough nimbus]

Ya

If u have calc credit u clear everything below it

[lofty raptor]

oh

[reef shuttle]

i used ap calc and ap stats to fulfill my entire university math requirement

[lofty raptor]

hmm

alr

so

[hazy shuttle]

i took an online biodiversity class that was SUPER easy. theres 2 of them i believe

[lofty raptor]

alr

im prob gonna try and max out my transfer credits

but i wont get alot of em

if I take the math placement and I get really high do I waive some credits

[reef shuttle]

aleks?

[lofty raptor]

yeah

[reef shuttle]

i think that literally only waives college algebra here

[lofty raptor]

oh

alr

[hazy shuttle]
