#University of Florida (UF) (2024-2025)

yeah I'd honestly advise against graduating early because that extra year is super important to be a competitive applicant (more aps, sat taking, extracurricular achievement, etc). the people ik who graduated early are cc bound, no tea no shade, but that wasn't what they wanted
And UF is just getting harder and harder to get into
God, I have a Tolerate/Despise relationship with SAP and Concur
Yea the colleges knowing your reapplying and having to lock in graduating in advance changed thing
lol fair I j want the internship
and yeah
well. not really. bc graduating early is a choice
btw
Yea I donāt plan to take a step back onto my high school campus after this year
Yea now I can tell your 14
lmao
real honestly and I'm not even uf bound
it's so glaringly obvious
Wait were you accepted into UF or are you doing full time dual enrollment @lofty raptor
full time accept fall 2025 start
which is surprizing
it's not bad you just. are a cringey kid. that's normal
i thought i would get gator engineering tbh
What even was the pathway you took to get to UF so early? Full time dual enrollment? FLVS spam?
(gator engineering is a program where you do some time in jail santa fe and then transfer to UF guaranteed)
Iām aware
skip fourth fifth sixth
and then go forward from there
tbh i would have done an extra year
Bruh š
but i took the psat
and got a high enough score for national merit
and i cant delay benacquisto
so i was just about cooked

is that just a homeschool thing
i had two options
1: delete the national merit and retake later
2: take the national merit and roll the dice
Tbh if my 6th grade self went to high school I would bully him.
i decided to roll le dice
oh i did virtual
not FLVS but virtual
Ohhh that makes sense now
that ruins the fun of school
i actually had alot of fun
virtual is so bad
i did NHS
i did martial arts
i had homeschool groups
i had church group
i was in a band
FLVS AP CSA worst thing I did
You live in Gainesville correct your not dorming.
And this is your 1st exposure to a traditional school environment.
gtg byeee
yeah wut u even do when everyoneās on a very different maturity level than you
I can picture this guys experience in my head before it even happens
Yeah
the home school kids transferring to traditional high school was already really bad for them I canāt imagine college on top of the age difference
like idk these are the prime years of our lives should be having fun with friends and stuff
not j grinding out college
and speedrunning life
yeah all the homeschool kids ik I canāt imagine them in college tbh
I agree with the maturity part but looking at his profile I can relate to him a bit, he seems to truly love computers and coding.He will likely have a good time in the classes he is taking. But socially this is a massive change, on the level of young Sheldon
yeah thatās fair and I used to have that grindset but I came to the realization best to live in the moment and just enjoy life. But yeah itās gonna be a rough change no matter what
You can't take 3504c without AP CSA. AP CSP won't cut it.
Sorry, you have to start from 3502c
Iām pretty sure itās a with instructor permission thing too. Several community colleges have Java courses, however I have a feeling that Java is a part of the curriculum for a reason
nvm
he's the CpE director
Thatās cool is he a good guy
he specifically said the edit part in the screenshot 1 yr ago to us.
from the discussions that I seen, butter will likely struggle with 3504c. better to take 3502/3503 route
Yeah from what I understand 3502 isnāt necessarily just about Java and its syntax but covers general Computer Science concepts as well
There is a test out
donāt do it
ill dm you my reason why
what test?
Can and should are different concepts
good point
Like I said Java is shitty language but that doesnāt mean you shouldnāt learn it. It is very useful in Robotics and mobile development and you will learn the language of Oracle one of the largest enterprise cloud companies out there
this is totally new. last Fall, Link didn't teach 3504c.
Also from the languages you have listed (Web and Python) it sounds like likely you havenāt really done anything low level yet which Java and C++ can help develop
GL with the test
Spamming C++ and Python into one semester in a class that assumes proficiency in Java is likely not a good idea.
bro joined and left the uf furry server
i was banned for underage
if it was my choice i would have stayed
i was also almost banned from uf minecraft but they voted to keep me
@lofty raptor do you mind listing what languages exactly you have worked with?
off to a lovely start
rightfully so omg š
i feel bad for you butter
at least one of us does
be nice š
I'm finding it....
life isnāt complete without bullying children on the internet
is it bullying to say that a 14y/o shouldn't be in a server that's probably going to have . 18+ activity
not at all
I can feel bad for butter and agree with their decision for banning him
just wait til he finds out he canāt play in the sandbox with the other VVers
wait
what
i was informed i could join VV regardless of age
they said i can rejoin at 16 btw
fair ! but he'll find another more fitting community
so
certain channels yeah
ive used scratch ofc
ive used sql as well
ive also coded basic python
im planning to spend the summer taking some coding classes so i'm not behind
i know the basics
by basics i mean
the methodology/idea of programming
i know the stuff that jobs look for
i also am a good problem solver
which is important for code
i just need to learn specific language syntax
Yea bro do not skip Java, itās not just for the Java language, but rather for Object Oriented Progamming, Type declaration etc, c ++is an entirely object oriented language
ill learn java over the summer
how does that sound
i got from 6/7 to 8/1
to learn:
Java
C++
Python
not too hard
Java is light
My point is that learning syntax is easy, however you may miss some important general comp sci concepts.
What do Comp Sci majors study
ive taken 3 years of general programming
Math
humanities
the art of flipping a perfect burger
In what way
Just curious since Iāve heard it was mostly theoretical topics so Iām just curious what it winds up being like
Calculus, Physics, Algorithms, Machine Learning, Computational Algebra etc.
Is ML in the CS curriculum?
Yes itās apart of Data Science, you can take plenty of electives on it
Then you take a single ethics class before accepting a offer from Lockheed Martin
Also thereās a opportunity for a little bit of Electrical Engineering if you want which is kind of math, you learn circuts and computer logic
its great
And engineering statistics
UF CS is amazing
Bro you havenāt started stop glazing
here are the requirements
https://catalog.ufl.edu/UGRD/colleges-schools/UGENG/CPS_BSCS/
UF's Computer Science program is one of the most respected in the country, and Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering graduates are highly sought-after by employers. University of Florida students learn the latest programming languages and technologies and develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary to succeed in the rapi...
alright
now
bye
good night
eh who needs the ethics class before interning there
is this a joke
I agree with him. simply learning the syntax of a language really is not that hard. Learning memory safety and all of the various other things lower level languages come with is not
i think you could learn the syntax and fundamentals, but you will be nowhere near proficient
snatched the words from my mouth I fear
it seems like youre just highly overcomplicating this matter
why do you want to take 3504c instead of 3502/3503? what's the rush?
He believes he has the prerequisite knowledge needed for the course
there's one big benefit of 3504 but doesn't apply to a 14/15 yo.
Which would be?
allows to take DSA in 2026 spring, which opens doors to SWE internships in 2026 summer.
being a 15 yo, companies won't hire him, unless he knows the CEO. If he has connections, he doesn't need DSA to begin with.
I have seen many kids struggle with the fast-paced 3504c. 1st semester with heavy course load will be a gigantic adjustment for any freshmen let alone a 14yo
Yeah thatās another thing I was thinking even at 18 a job is going to be tough.
syntax is fine but you should dedicate that to one language instead to get proficiency
learning other languages becomes easier then
@lofty raptor how did you schedule your classes like that
Find the class schedule that fits you best with UF Scheduler. View UF-recommended model semester plans, live course updates, and RMP ratings with unlimited sorting and filtering options for schedule creation.
couple reasons that I'd rather not share
im set on 3504c though
so please no more discussion of this
Alright man weāll respect your wishes we want the best for you. just please know what youāre doing.
I looked up what the fuss was about and damn
you're cooked if you don't have cs experience, better use those office hours + tutoring for that class
ok. hope you ace the placement test and get in 3504 along with discrete and calc2. expect to spend 30+ hrs a week on these 3 courses. you have been warned.
its only 13 creits bro
im taking 3504, discrete, calc2, and engineering design and society
it's 13 hard credits... lmao
if you enjoy studying like bhemh said, great! do ur thing
alr
FYI, my kid took 3504 + discrete + calc3 in her 1st semester. Calc3 is arguably easier than Calc2 at UF. She said Calc3 was the easiest of the 3. She didn't have much spare time in her 1st semester.
is she the type to love the grind or was she like "I'll never do that again"
Calc 2 sucked
lol. she's a grinder. Her spring schedule is even tougher. She went against everybody's advice.
oh . you know what hell yeah
all her hard work paid off. she's practically a sophomore took/taking all the key HW and SW courses. she got many summer offers ranging from EE to SWE.
and she's in honors... lord she's cracked
"calc3 is easier than calc2" ahh
š
sorry
but like
can you take calc3 if you dont know calc2?
no
your confusing tediousness with how hard it is
it may be less tedious
but is it more hard
no not really
its like
algebra vs calc
sure calc is faster to do
FYI, calc2 at UF is known as the weed-out course
but most people would rather do an algebra problem than a calc problem
oh ok
I'm not suggesting calc3 is easier than calc2 in general. i was talking about at UF specifically
UF made calc2 exams a lot harder than needed
cuz ive heard i should take calc2 and discrete at the same time
never heard of it and I don't see why one should
and you're confusing your with you're š
if you are talking about the advice given at CSU, you got confused. they never said it.
instead, they recommended to take 3504c with discrete.
The standard amount credits are usually balanced with philosophy and other shit relieve yourself of stress
Are āweed outā standard across schools or can I get Calc done at community college before I head apply to UF and save myself the pain in the ass
so should i not take calc 2 my first year
or should I do transient calc 2 at fau in the summer
or at my cc
CC is going to be easier assuming Iām right about CC not having weed out classes
I'm philosophyically against taking a less rigorous course from a different school. You got into the flagship school in FL. take courses at the best school. why go somewhere else?
good point
if you can't survive a weedout course, you don't deserve it. (I know I'm being harsh)
there's always some kind of weed out. personally I was planning to take calc 2 in college bc my cc genuinely treats it like a weed out for some reason š
it's a harsh world out there. only the strongest survive
So you can spend more time developing actually employable skills. IMO if a class is unnecessarily hard just to weed out students I would find that a waste of time and stress
Because sometimes the stuff is made way harder than it needs to be - I did better at managerial accounting at UWF because I didnāt have a bunch of assignments that have no credit and a professor that laughed in our faces when something wasnāt going to be in the exam anyway
If my kid couldn't survive, I may have a totally different take. I may advise her to seek easy way out.
my bad. calc2 + 3504/3053 + discrete are all pre-req for DSA.
didn't think of calc2 pre-req because my kid had the AP credit.
so if your 1-yr goal is to complete DSA, then you have no other choice but to take 3504 + discrete + calc2.
Is DSA a garunteed internship or something
oh wait, you can also take DSA in 2026 summer
dsa = cop3530
DSA is essentially required for any SW job
it's data structures and algorithms
ugh I wish I was going to uf bc bhemh just knows everything š
you will do just fine any where
I hope so!! just need to find a mentor
join SWE (society of women engineers) and look for a potential mentor.
noted! I'm also thinking of like. actually being active on social media so I can make friends early
Definitely join SWE - thatās a key association if thatās a field you want to go into
One of the people I worked with at Disney and then my desk mate at universal are both quite at SWE
Does UF have enough programmer baddies to go around or just dudes who need deodorant, Gender diversity in the program would be nice
um . i think it's 25% women in compsci . but i cannot confirm if they're baddies
This is weird. (# Of CS students) Is it because a lot of freshman donāt delclare majors yet or is the popularity dropping from CS as a result of layoffs
Hopefully itās just less majors š
nah i feel like i got this
wait actually thatās probably true lmao i forgot about reverse chain rule
girl I forgot calc 1
Iām gonna eat on this BC exam š
good for you! I'll be starving
yes that was the reason
my one year goal is DSA
for a summer internship
at 16
Probably because he thought we were going to immediately shit on his goals given our criticism of his schedule. However butter that is not true
@lofty raptor I currently work a database management internship at 16 with a insurance company working in python and vue js. I did not need an algorithm class or whatever. you can just simply go at a regular pace and then apply for internships anyways
Letās say you go down the rush route how are you going to have time to do internships with such a loaded schedule?
yeah but like faang
also u can j do codequest to get internship at lockheed
in highschool
You have to live near cape canaveral for the summer no?
nah they all virtual
also he isnāt technically a high schooler anymore
and then you get transitioned during college pretty sure
Professor chooses virtual class so my birthday gift is not taking the trek through pollen to class
Screw that working with a smaller company Iām 90% sure Iām getting more hands on experience then FAANG interns, they have working on actual production AWS servers. S3, DynamoDB, Lamda, Red Hat enterprise etc.
Looks like someone's brought up quant again!
I think itād be better if you analyzed some grass instead.
š
What the duck is a quant
Does target school matter for the quant side of finance on a serious note
I mean for like jane street and citadel pretty sure most of their candidates are coming from like MIT CMU and Harvard
Applied CS for finance.
Explain
So they have target schools just not the same Target schools as traditional finance like Wharton? Their all grad too right
making HFT models to gain a statistical edge
I mean Wharton M&T I would assume would also be a huge feeder
Using advanced programming and math to analyze financial markets to make decisions
U can get jobs undergrad but a lot rarer and fs only at targets or ur cracked at competitive programming
Is USACO still even prestigious for that kind of thing?
im prob j gonna go to UF because its a lot cheaper and then try getting my masters at a feeder
Same. I donāt think they care about where you went or undergrad
I meant more like codeforces but probably and also stuff like kaggle comps
yeah eactly just makes it a little easier to get urself into more prestigious masters programs
undergrad also a lot more competitive for top schools
ive gotten deferred/waitlisted everywhere but UF and I got USRP at UF
What is USRP
University Scholars Research Program top 2% at UF
you just do research every single year basically
How do you get it? Just raw academic performance
What if I made a ChatGPT wrapper and apply to do machine learning research 
yeah its just in your admission email
you can do research outside of that program
that program is more like your guranteed research and a mentor instead of having to find one I think
Just also write a really good UF Honors essay and include how you want to do research
your a sohpmore so I meaan you got a lot of time to work on your resume for college
Itās all the same qualification materials as applying for admission
So if I talk about research desires it may increase my odds?
well yeah you're writing why you want to be in the honors program and how it will help you
Oh itās a subcategory of the honors program? So I should talk about research plans in my Honors App part mainly?
actually not sure if its a subcategory, but I think the UF honors essay gives the best place to covey your research plans
I mean I think everyone who gets into USRP is in Honors but idk if they are fully correlated
i spoke about research and didnt get it </3
Wait Iām confused did you or did you not get into UF?
i got into uf honors ea, but i will not be enrolling
Ah I see what does lac mean
liberal arts colleges, admitted to every single one i applied to (williams, amherst, swarthmore, wellesley, and hmc)
Which one do you plan to a attend?
Or are you waiting for more decisions
waiting on more decisions. i applied to 20 colleges so!
I take it youāll have some important results tomorrow
Which college were you accepted in so far that immediately rules out UF?
6 ivies..... #afraid
Ivy day gonna be either miserable or hype
washu and hmc on the same day immediately killed uf, especially when my aid for all those colleges came out and theyre all less than my in-state options
Very skibidi. Congrats so far
thanks!
hiii guys
ya i got in EA
oh alr
lol
i got in RD lol
tysm
np!
im 80% sure
nicee
same tbh lol
waiting on UMich on Fri
but if i get waitlisted or rejected im gonna commit to UF
what other schools r u between rn?
congrats!
thank you! but i just got wl from vandy </3
sorry
tbh
are you in state for UF?
if so i would go the UF route
you cant beat free tuition
thats still great lol
regardless u have great options
im not lol im from the northeast
oh alr
but thankfully i got some money off
how much?
ooh nice
yeah its fine
real
have you toured either
esp for a school like UF
ya
i went around 2 weeks ago
it was sooo nice
the people there too
so community-oriented and engaging
i loved it
did you do a florida day event or nah
@native oak i know you havent scheduled your florida day yet so please pick april 14th
š„ŗ
alr
have u visited?
yeah
also r u in state?
im in state
nicee
i liked it
im debating between UF and UCF rn
u cant go wrong with either tbh
yeah
idk much about UCF but ik its large and located within Orlando right
lots of things to do outside the classroom + prob a lot of internship/employment opportunities in the local area i assume
r both schools rlly cheap for u rn?
sry what does coa mean?
cost of attendance
his usage of the term doesnt really make sense though
he's trying to say he has a full ride to both
Bright futures š¤
thats awesome!
benacquisto for him i believe
thanks for the clarity lol
i have a full ride to whichever i choose
Use bright futures as pocket money
full COA minus bright futures
Did financial aid package come out for uf?
no
Bruh
sheeesh
how good is uf with oos financial aid?
i'm not hearing a lot of good things from ppl but i was wondering if i could get any info from the actual sources lol
@native oak @topaz stirrup maybe?
i have yet to receive my packages but tbh that may be bc i submitted late
If you have any financial aid for at least semester Iām pretty sure qualify for instate after your 1st year at UF
oop i was asking bc i didn't get my packages up until yday but i just received them haha
i'm a bit confused though i'm ngl is there anyone who could help me figure this out
nvm figured it out!!
I woke up at 2pm and had a zoom meeting, so the brain is JUST waking up
im between this and gt
whats your major
and cost differential between the two
gt is math and uf is data science im instate for gt so ik bout hope and zell and it only costs about 6k to go to gt so yeah
im not sure about uf financially bc my package hasnt been finalized yet
UF just got a brand new sexy Data Science building š
gt almost certainly seems to be the move, besides a math undergrad there will set you up well for DS masters programs which afaik are pretty favored by DS jobs
i heard bout that
Im a freak in the (excel) sheets for that building
UF is getting a lot of data science funding but im not sure if that beats gt math
Where is Toast from
esp for so cheap
oh hell yeah go to GT man
ty
wait i forgot something
uf admitted me to honors but for gt honor program deffered me
honors just lets you take special classes and priority for some stuff thats it right?
I have several friends admitted into UF with honors but willigly did not do it due to all the weird stuff that comes with it, defintly not a reason to change colleges
the main benefit is priority registration but lowkey some of the other requirements are cumbersome
i see thanks guys
anyone know anything ab thte UF waitlist?
Decisions are out <t:1743116400> in your local time
44 minutes and 23 seconds until the decision date
yo godot
if u get into an ivy ur gonna turn down UF right
š waitlist is so cooked
unless i pay under 80k in loans
actually
40k total across all 4 years
i cant afford
this is including parent contribution
so basically
unless i get hella finaid
i cant
ill help u get finaid
scholarships
im feining for that UF spot
waitlist just means hey man, you were a good enough candidate to get in UF
but we dont have enough space
itd probably hurt ngl
bro
its the first year UF has a waitlist too...
Have you gotten scholarship info yet?
they had a similar program last year i forget what is was tho
uhh gracie
they have pace pathways
they still have it
i didnt get paced
the 14th
I just got waitlisted
im pretty sure it was similar to waitlist
it means u take online classes for a year
Yay!!!! Have fun
and then go on campus
Thatās a Friday right?
no
Or no thatās a Monday
monday
ok!
yes
i didnt get anything regarding merit scholarships so i assume i just didnt receive any ;(
my finaid was all loans and honestly i canāt afford that
Yeah thatās so valid
idrk, you should get at least some need based aid if you make <80k I think (but a lot of complex factors determine it)
You can appeal your aid, too
Iāve appealed my aid and been successful twice
i mean i got 8k in need based
Oh thatās good
and so iād still have to pay like
well i think so..? would u mind if i dmed u my finaid stuff
so u can check
but i think thatās what it is
sure
okok hang on
oos tuition is roughly 28k/yr
so the only other expense would be housing (6k/yr at cheapest)
so the rest is a variable price
i sent a friend request so i can forward u the ss ^^
like in my experience you can almost ALWAYS find a free way to get textbooks, food costs range really heavily
right lol my teachers were talking ab that today
ab how they all found ways to get books for free when they were in school
yeah lol
the only thing Iāve paid for to access for a class has been adobe cloud
but even that i couldāve gotten for free if i did work on uf computers
can you get wl -> pace
Malachowsky hall is honestly amazing, super nice spot to study too
Solid!
Congratulations!
(Princeton is my fave out of the three)
what the freak
bro made it out of florida
š
denied from all the ivies i applied to
congrats
so...
can you give @tulip forge ur spot 
overall congrats tho
you're gonna do great
Holy crap??? Insane
you're
Same i got swept todayš
i will drown you in a vat of butter
Got usc though somehow
congrats
Thanks
Cornell it had a link for me
bruh literally the one year that financial aid goes off of is the one my ec popped off for š

ate????
omg
Where are you going
same
congrats!! Going to repeat everyone else's question and ask where you plan on going now :p
ah are you gonna pick whichever is cheaper?
I have no idea š
Man I am not even trying to do all that I just want UF so bad š
I thought the same thing but I shot my shots yk!
You gotta start an ivy admissions counseling service now š
Cmon. you had to know your potentiol to apply to all those Schools š
I knew potential but um . I was expecting like 6 acceptances max. I have 13A, 4W, 2R, and waiting on duke
I'm fgli at a dookie public. I was a google warrior. idk shit š
who rejected u..
A few weeks after acceptance. If you got a scholarship you either got told in your letter or within a few days later
mit and brown
yield protect likeā¦
HELP
here's the spreadsheet queens
green is accepted, red rejected, yellow waitlist. dookie isn't out yet but I kinda dgaf
Damn not even considering FSU as a safety is wild especially over USF lmao
I HATE FSU
š
usf is close so usf and ucf were my safeties
whats your major again
compsci.........
I heard the FSU Comp Sci program is objectively a bad school rivarely aside
my bio lab was in the cs building
L or W
so I'm not missing out !
i cant blame the CS kids for being smelly because the AC in there did NOT work
also its like 1960s brutalist
I have a oppurtunity to take some CS courses at FSU dual enrolled and the FSU subreddit literally told be to go to TSC instead lmao
third floor cant be accessed by main stairwell you have to go to 2nd or 4th and take elevator or different stairwell
real
oh naur š
if you had to pick like right now where would you go
hellš
duke hasnt released yet though
idgaf about duke
after these decisions
especially bc my interview was lowkey hell
What do you think got you in? Essay?
doing my bestš i don't have a clue in the world
I've been reading online and all I see is people talking about how most AO don't take internships seriously due to Nepotism and they usually don't actually do anything, pmo given that I actually have work to do at my internship, only for it to be watered down by others :/
oh i have an internship!! common app asks you report ur parents jobs so they'll know if it's nepotism. my dad is a fucking waiter there's no nepotism here š
I wish I had more then 100 characters to explain that it also wasn't a "making copies and coffee" internship either.
was it rly just 100 characters . i forgot .
You put it in the EC category right? Side question: What did you do for your internship?
yeah! I just know it was short but now 100 characters sounds write
right
help
please guys I'm so tired š don't bully me
my internship was with my school district so like
not nepo
but my internship for this summer is with my moms company!
I can't relate to what your feeling right now as I have never been accepted into 3 ivies, but I suggesty you get some rest lmao.
here's what I put! it looks really dookie but I only had so much space so I couldn't flesh out much š definitely talk about what you did more in your essays
I'm literally so geeked. I'm like tired but I can't rest

girliepop just casually mogged all over us
girl might know how to exit vim guys but idk
HELP
point is it's okay to keep it vague just use all the space if possible!
think key points
Yea thats probaly a good idea, what I have so far names the actual technical terms for the stuff I used
"Preformed Database management utilizing Amazon Web Services to transfer information from legacy databases to modern cloud platforms using Python"
Drop the AWS and word Python
Utilized Advanced cloud platforms to preform data anyalsis and proccessing on large consumer datasets š
ok that's good
I think . not familiar with cloud but it sounds impressive and is concise
vim over emacs frfr (I use vscode ima be so fr)
vscode or notepadš
I use Vim on linux and VScode on windows, staying in the terminal for all your work is so nice on linux š
Wait a minute, theres way to many high seniors that know how to code this field is cooked š
lowkey if ur applying to a competitive college cs program with 0 programming experience.......... like at ALL...... ur friedš
SHUT UPPPPP CONGRATS
OMG IM SHUT. THANK YOU!!!
I'm on my linux distro rn (I Dualboot Win10 and Mint (Cinnamon))!!!
So cool to see other linux users
I should distrohop onto arch,,,, (or Endeavour because I do not want to set up arch lmfao)
Notepad++ for code > Notepad imo (also tabs over spaces ur evil if u use spaces)
I feel like to much emphasis is put on needing some super freedom distro for the day to day user I havenāt seen anything better about arch compared to distros like Ubuntu, mint and fedora
What I have had fun doing was hopping desktop environments like GNOME, I3 etc
yeah that's fair. I was saying it more for the memes tbh
Yeah, honestly I'm not a huge fan of Cinnamon, would prefer something else
xfce doesn't seem to be great either? not sure though
I want to rice my DE but I haven't the time
mainly because i'm kinda jealous of r/unixporn
Do you do mostly front end programming stuff? I use a tiling window manager and I enjoyed it but I primarily do CLI stuff
Yeah I was trying to get wayland (hyprland to be specific) but it wasn't working and I couldn't fix it and I just never got around to it
bspwm worked on linux on my previous laptop a few years ago but i didn't use it this time
I... do no one specific programming thing
like I know a bit of JS, a bit of python/GDScript, bit of java, bit of C
I did try doing the Odin Project but I didn't go past the foundation levels (and that took a few weeks in and of itself)
anyway I'm not going to be a CS major so I should prob focus on python for my degree (Physics and Math most likely)
and matlab, mathematica, etc. ig
R might be useful if your end goal of the math degree is some highly specialized finance degree
UF has a really good statistics program for that
WHAT THE HELL LMFAO
CONGRATULATIONS
cola u might be goated wtf
I'm probably gonna end up at washu unless duke pulls through š¤
can someone explain how the queue to get a housing appoinment works? do i get a spot in line based on when i submitted my housing deposit, or is it random?
The former!
thanks
also, i did my deposit in november and my roommate did their deposit very recently, whose position does it go by?
Whoever deposited first!
ok thank you!
THANK YOU!! I still don't believe it
wtf 2029 is such a flex
calc 3 is always easier unless ur teacher is stupid
Does UF also make a recalculated UW GPA or is only weighted considered?
junior yr became hell because my teacher herself didnt understand calc
fr and they just hand you a friggin packet yo 
she didnt even hand us the friggin packet yo
i lowk learn like that
she banned us from laughing, looking out the window and using pens
it was literally a prison class
Nope just recalc weightd
So they donāt even look at electives really?
Nope
But all APs are considered but and only core Dual Enrolled courses
No, all DE courses are considered
Probably to prevent cheesing with certain courses
didn't want a school with a quarter system š
wait
they have a quarter system?!
nvm no stanny for me
google is free
Agreed Stanford does not meet my rigorous academic requirements and hence I will not be enrolling there.
i...
i would have to pay almost 60k a year for stanford
Wait did you get into Stanford
no
this is NPC
i just checked
i hit the jackpot
777
and then two zeros
$77,700
this is after 15k in scholarship
Might not be working April 4 cause I might be going to Epic Universe lol
Don't say that too fast, means I might have to work the day you're there š
which would be good
right
a2a
Depends on your point of view, since you were just complaining haha
Also GRAD SCHOOL APPS SUCK OKAY
(signed, someone whoās doing one last minute because of the job market and having to take her own admissions advice)
your planning on UCF right?
At the moment yeah. MS Themed Experience with their new Producing concentration
At least I have most of the elements (resume, portfolio, etc) but having to write a statement of interest and pull teeth to get references
Because guess who has no job yet
(I'm venting, I can tell, thanks for bearing with me)
@native oak i picked UF over UCF with 30k scholarship⦠tell me itās worth it rn
It is!
UCF just feels super big to me
uf are we deadass
Are you from Florida I forgot
Bright futures not on there yet
dude me too
HOW THE FUCK DID THEY GIVE YOU NO AID
My sai is 6 figures so I had this comingā¤ļø
I wouldnāt expect to actually pay 18k
Like
no way unless ur living the most lavish life ever
mine is lmaooo
Wait nvm
i bet the football players get full aid š
Itās more realistically gonna be like 7K dorms 4k food
Like 11k a year
with bright futures
well they didn't pull these numbers out their ass right
probably because they got aid 
idc I'm not going anyway, just gagged that theyd prank me like that
uf results!

73% acceptance rate guys!
same for me
it doesnt include benacquisto tho
did anyone oos that got previous merit aid from uf get the financial aid and it doesnāt show your scholarships in the scholarship section of the financial aid page
Ur the one who got into like half the ivies right how did they not give you merit aid lmaooo
they hate me
i also got 0 from UF
i donāt even qualify for any financial aid aside from scholarships from FL so itās fine anyways
thatās just the UF estimate of living/food/books/etc
Yeah I didnāt when I had applied myself
are the different college specific scholarships competitive? for ex, ik a few for the college of engineering and i wanna try applying to some but they seem tedious and look like something that is competitive
Take a shot, you never know!
i know, that's a lot of money
Bro be quiet you got a full ride lmao
coulda shoulda woulda
!
Definition of could've should've would've in the Idioms Dictionary by The Free Dictionary
The surprising thing about benacquisto was that nobody mentioned it to us, even though her high school has over 10 National Merit semifinalists each year.
We only discovered this scholarship after she applied to UF. It was completely unexpected. We stumbled upon it on the UF website and were shocked.
i have pretty much been my own advisor
and i found out about it while eating dim sum
i spit out my dumpling in shock
"FULL RIDE TO A T30?!"
(note: i was scrolling on UF website looking for any scholarships and i saw this)
We found about it while eating at Reitz union during a campus visit.
nice
same here
i do have some other good news
im going to tour UF the 14th
as a florida day
im contacting a prof to see if I can sit in on a CS class that day (as I have already done the UF regular tour and the engineering tour)
the tour is mainly for my mom tbh
good idea
my mom also wants to stop by UCF and drive around so she can see how it looks as well
do you have a specific CS class/prof in mind?
I don't think DSA has a class on 4/14
check the schedule using https://one.uf.edu/soc/
University of Florida - Schedule of Courses
im taking COP 3504c that day...
What does departmentally controlled mean?
Also, how can I make my first year calc class as small as possible?
alr
CISE advisor will ask you for eligibility (4+ score on AP CS A). Then manually add you to the course/section registration. We didn't know, the preview advisor didn't know. It was a 2-hr nightmare on Preview day.
did you get her blessing yet
she wants me to go to cc
she called ucf
the lesser evil
shes coming to the tour
Wooo!
If they arenāt at FL Days thereās a statue not far from the Union
im at fl days
Very likely yes cause I still need to work my shifts
April 4th was my original plan but I MIGHT GET TO GO SEE THE THEME PARK I HELPED BUILD on that day
YEAHHHHH
wait
nvm just YEAHHHH
what part will you do
any ideas
I donāt know until the week before but I often get put on hall directions because I like talking and Iām experienced
whats hall directions
Helping people find their way and pointing them to the right place
Just look for the blonde curly hair, blue polo and khaki pants, and the waterbottle clipped to the hip
@sacred parcel is it acceptable to ask them if they are the a2gator
Thereās literally only one of the people working that fits the description haha
Ask anyone in a blue polo if theyāve seen TG
That should help
Or ask at the info desk who you should ask about theme parks
TG is probably a more reliable method tho
Itās the default way I show up on most admissions communications in GroupMe so yeah just aboutš
Also my nametag is one of the older styles that does not have the hometown on the bottom
I know @topaz stirrup found me pretty easily the one time we met at Florida days
alright
hi team

I checked my finaid for harvard and it is in fact a full ride

"i got nothing but a full ride"

Why did you dm me a link to Uf csu? š

Be the change you wish to see in chat
Any UF engineers going to GEE Day tomorrow?
Nope but I probably know a few of the people working! Have fun!
where do you see that at
That may include housing/food/etc. I do feel like sometimes itās an overshot
I would say a significant overshot
one ufl
$17,790 too muchš
but like where in that? I only see stuff in my financial aid statements
and it doesnt look like how it was for you
do you see the 2025-26 button?
Hello!! Could I speak to someone that currently attends UF about one of the majors
Yeh is that just it?
I mean. it should have a net price and everything.
My costs are just other costs. Which donāt even factor in my dorm pre paid
But see no official net price
Which major?
Mathematics
If yk anyone or you are that major
Itās not for me itās for a friend
I just wanna know how good UF is for math, how good classes are, programs, opportunities, etc.
Iām not that major but the people you would contact would be based in Little Hall
