@distant flower you were admitted to the major you applied for, uf doesn’t admit by major

You can change it at preview if you’d like!

slender cloud
#

or

#

native oak
#

You don’t choose major until end of sophomore year (unless you’re engineering in which case it’s end of first year )

sullen bobcat

#

Am I crazy or did UF not send out an email to check portals
like I got in anyways but that’s just cause I knew it was coming out

#

I feel like this is a trend now for college not to send emails to check your portals
Or they’ll send it like a day late

odd cosmos
calm moon
#

makes sense

#

people refresh in the portal all day anyway if they know the date 😭

odd cosmos
#

legit threw a message in red saying "stop refreshing"

calm moon
#

that’s actually hilarious

#

didn’t they like defer everybody too

odd cosmos

"your decision has been delayed"

#

0 emails with whats up

also my dad was apperantly talking with the assistant dean of the college of engineering

reef shuttle

lofty raptor

and he said "take my number. if your son doesnt get into honors, let me know - ill see what i can do."

#

soooo

#

chat did i cook?

#

*did he cook

reef shuttle
#

the answer will almost certainly be apply for 2nd year honors lol

lofty raptor

i may be wrong

native oak
#

She was my Engineering Design and Society Professor

lofty raptor
#

my dad said assistant dean but he may be wrong

#

ill dm you the name of the person im talking about

native oak
#

Yeah she got promoted to Dean the year after I had her but I was already out of the engineering college by that point

lavish night
#

I didn't even know uf wait listed bruh cursedmoon

#

How cooked am I

lofty raptor
#

not that cooked

#

i got deferred to accepted

lavish night
#

Well

lofty raptor
#

whats your major?

lavish night
#

Waitlisting is different

lavish night
lofty raptor
lavish night
#

But tbh people who get in oos probably get in somewhere better

#

So maybe

lofty raptor
#

if so i would do UCF as main and UF as another one

lavish night
#

Just maybe

lofty raptor
#

uhh

#

lemme check

lavish night
#

Nah I'm oos and I only applied for uf

lofty raptor
#

#

i have bad news

#

theres no info

#

you may be cooked

#

but im not sure

lavish night
#

Hmm

#

Oos yield rate was like 14% in 2023 but it probably got a lot more selective since

#

So

#

I shoulda put more effort into my essays cursedmoon

#

@lofty raptor are you committing to uf?

tired dawn
#

if my first year is PaCE, am i able to write my resume as if im a real UF student

#

is the true real disadvantage of PaCE is that i won't be in-person? there gotta be other obvious disadvantages

like do i have to mention i study as UF PaCE

Is it s liberal arts uni?

strange gull

#

sounds amazing if u like that kind of climate

#

kinda complete opposite of UF in that regard ig

strange gull
#

real uf is so huge, would've been so fit if I committed

empty frigate
#

Anyone know admission stats?

obtuse olive
#

i am thinking we will find out very soon

#

there is a board of trustees meeting later this month

obtuse olive
#

this year they prob accepted around 14-16k students

#

impossible to say definitively

#

so 90,000 confirmed applications = 15.5-17.7% acceptance rate roughly

topaz stirrup
#

maybe lower

empty frigate
#

That’s crazy. A lot of deffered people got accepted I’m seeing so that’s good ( one is me ) 😄

obtuse olive
#

correct

#

maybe even more on the space available basis

#

who knows if those kids are getting in

#

i think that deadline is like april 1

topaz stirrup
#

60000 EA applicants, 90000 applicants total (reported when ea came out) so it’s likely over 100k total if I had to guess

sullen bobcat
obtuse olive
#

thats prob a generous guess on the extended deadline considering the huge timeline shift on uf apps this year

#

meaning what would have been extended deadline kids is now RD (whereas RD deadline was november 1)

lofty raptor
#

hey everyone

woeful minnow

Hey

#

has anyone else been waitlisted from UF?

#

When I look on tiktok or reddit its so empty, theres literally two reddit messages talking about it

lavish night
#

Probably means there's a high chance of getting that waitlist turned into an acceptance 👀

#

I've only seen like 5 so far

reef shuttle

#

for comparison, UGA waitlisted 5500 people and there are tens of tiktoks talking about it and megathreads

# lofty raptor btw which florida day are you doing

…this is the part where I admit I got my first strike for not signing up because my schedule has been so whackadoodle lately with random meetings in Orlando popping up. I swore I told our AO I’d let her know when I could…I’ll keep y’all posted.

native oak
#

Gracie’s actually gets the hometown haha

#

But yeahhhhh I haven't exactly said to our AO directly I do this with y’all - I helped Gracie repackage how we know each other as “she reached out to me when she was an applicant”.

They don't teach this anymore but there are rules for us engaging with minors - we can't technically exchange social media until after an applicant has graduated high school and we can only give our school emails for any questions.

Promise is admission with additional resources to ensure academic success. Helps give a good foundation for those from underrepresented background or who are the first in their families to attend college (which means many also can be Machen Florida Opportunity Scholars)

Anyone have an official register of what the Florida university system considers a core class for purpose of recalculation, like are economics classes and personal finance apart of the core

#

Also anyone who did dual enrollment know how courses are treated, if the HS equivalent is a 1.0 credit class, will I get a full 5.0 weighted course or only a semester.

Core is Math, Science, Social Studies, and English, and then 2 consecutive years of the same foreign language

(I’ve done “tutoring” about how to fill out the SSAR for four years, it’s drilled in my head by now)

# odd cosmos btw do you like being a tour guide

I absolutely love it. Not only do I get to work with amazing people (some of whom have been a great support network too), I get to do something I love with a lot of variety. There’s nothing like seeing the faces of students the first time they see Century Tower or the Swamp. This is my third year as a tour guide trainer too - that experience is also really rewarding.

#

I’ve been a tour guide overall for 8 years - 4 in high school and now 4 in college, and I’m trying to find a job that hopefully lets me take some of the stuff I love from this into something I get paid for full-time

native oak
#

UF used to space-available admissions, so that was the closest thing that existed to a waitlist.

i can go between the buildings pretty well except for one

from my friday mac 2312 to cop 3504c

#

#

i would have to go from walker to malachowsky in 15 minutes

#

14 minute walk for 15 minutes...

#

idk man

obtuse olive
#

why are you building ur schedule rn?

#

i’m gonna assume this is fall also

#

because of the class lengths

lofty raptor
#

yes

bros ready for college

median glacier
lofty raptor
#

also i removed a class

and changed it out

#

real schedule

#

#

W, I’ll see you in 2 years UF ain’t ready for me yet 😎

median glacier
# lofty raptor

I don’t know too much but I’m pretty sure freshman have minimum priority for course registration are you certain you are going to get this schedule?

reef shuttle
lofty raptor
#

i would go from 13 to 18

#

currently im at 13 creds

#

which is fine

#

i dont wanna overload myself in semester one

reef shuttle
#

does benacquisto have the same scholarship renewal requirements as bright futures

lofty raptor
#

i have to take 18

#

*12

#

i have to take 12 minimum

#

and get a 3.0 gpa

reef shuttle
#

oh interesting

#

for BF you need to take 30 hours within an academic year

reef shuttle
#

ideally you should be as close to 15 credits as possible during a semester

lofty raptor
#

uhh

#

no

#

im taking:

engineering design and society
calc 2
discrete math
accellerated programing

reef shuttle
#

do you not have gen eds to do

lofty raptor
#

if i do it this way

#

i can be done with all the core cs classes in one yea

#

rather than two years

#

i was gonna take a humanities gen ed over discrete

#

but i was advised to take discrete math instead so i could unlock the final core classes for cs in my second semester

#

by a uf student

#

who is very cool

#

he runs the uf cs club

reef shuttle
#

@lofty raptor is the other class cop 3502

lofty raptor
#

the class i would have dropped

#

was a quest one class

#

which is humanities

reef shuttle
#

trust me you dont wanna jump right in to CS classes

#

taking gen ed humanities is a much better way to get acclimated

lofty raptor
#

what if i do summer start

#

because like

#

its an option

#

the only downside is that my housing food and other stuff wont be covered

reef shuttle
#

make a 4 year schedule plan

#

see if a summer semester is required to take all you want to take

#

Since im honors any classes I should prioritize and make sure I can take? Majoring in Cs

Yeah there’s a pretty stark policy in most syllabi that for any use of AI you have to disclose it, even if to just help organize ideas. I always go with the admission on the front end rather than get questioned later

lofty raptor
#

because i dont know how to code

#

i wont use chatgpt in class tho 😭

#

but in like actual coding

strange gull
lofty raptor
#

i use chatgpt to write certain code for react

#

which is a very hard language

#

but i have been working on learning it

#

its just the harder concepts are

#

well

#

harder

strange gull
#

ok so you know how to code, just not react?

lofty raptor
#

yeah

#

i passed AP CSP so yeah

#

react is just

strange gull
#

or like, the complex shit

lofty raptor
#

no

#

99%

#

listen

#

my librarian - cs grad from UNF

#

said

#

exact quote

strange gull
lofty raptor
#

"everybody in my senior project used chatgpt for the frontend"

#

frontend was react (next.js but still)

lofty raptor
#

but i decided on CSP instead

#

java 🤮

strange gull
#

isn't it java or c#?

lofty raptor
#

huh

#

no its java

strange gull
#

ok then maybe he just taught me c# for fun LMAO

topaz stirrup
#

@native oak I’m kinda worried about the ominous update..

strange gull
#

my csa teacher was the goat, wrote my lors and all that

topaz stirrup
#

But I’m gonna apply to be a summer tour guide!

native oak
topaz stirrup
#

I hope it’s not an SAO related announcement

#

or at least not a bad change

native oak
#

I have my feelings (tried to peek into tour director email and details were few and far between, and Lizzy straight up said the whole thing was being hashed out still)

#

Yeah it is

#

From what I gather it affects SAO directly

topaz stirrup
#

my suspicion is that it’ll be that fall/spring SAO will move to a summer tour guide type set up

#

but I have literally 0 proof to back that

lofty raptor
#

so

#

if I wanna become SAO

#

any tips

topaz stirrup
#

apply and show enthusiasm

#

Enthusiasm about why you want to apply specifically

You’ll thank yourself for APCS later COP 3502 is Java

lofty raptor
#

im taking COP 3504C

median glacier
lofty raptor
#

but theres no Java

#

its C++ and Python

#

so no public

#

no static

#

no void

#

no main

#

and definentally no args

median glacier
#

Oh well that’s good I’ll probably take that come college I’m tired of Java from FTC robotics

little siren
#

😭

lofty raptor
#

even though you are literally older than me, i will keep making fun of you just because you suggested learning java.

median glacier
#

Huh

little siren
#

I mean gotta learn the languages no one else will so you get a job

I’m a high school sophomore not college sophomore 💀

lofty raptor
#

yes

#

wait

#

do you actually not know the lore?

median glacier
#

No actually I decided to make getting into UF my whole personality only about 2 weeks ago

lofty raptor
#

ok well

#

im 14 years old

median glacier
lofty raptor
#

yes i am dead seriious

#

what is your question

median glacier
strange gull
lofty raptor
median glacier
#

Damn idk if that’s a good idea then

lofty raptor
#

and it may not be a good look unless youve had severe development between junior and senior

#

take the SAT

#

and check your current GPA

#

if you would be comfortable applying with those stats apply now

#

if not take an extra year

#

or just take a gap year and apply at the end of your gap year

#

or mid gap year

#

after internships smileee

strange gull
lofty raptor
#

hes a sophmore

strange gull
#

I'm aware

lofty raptor
#

he would apply next year

strange gull
#

that's why I'm emphasizing IN ADVANCE, because juniors graduating early applied to do so during sophomore year

strange gull
#

yep!

lofty raptor
#

so am i

#

if i may though

#

ask your counsellor

#

its not whether you can

#

its whether you should

median glacier
#

I’ll stop asking internet people and talk to my guidance counselor lol

strange gull
#

that should go without saying but yeah

lofty raptor
#

its like creating a new javascript framework

#

yes you can

#

but should you?

#

for js framework its a no

#

for graudate early its a maybe

median glacier
#

Your 1st mistake is using JavaScript

lofty raptor
#

vue is pretty good

#

its a js fork

#

but its good

median glacier
lofty raptor
