<p>A 3.5 UW GPA with a strong schedule is not low at all. I think you have a good shot for Fall admission. Remember that the whole class is evaluated together, regardless what semester of entry is chosen. However, if you are deferred from Summer or Fall, you could be offered a slot in Spring. I think you have an excellent shot for Fall or Summer as long as the rest of your stats are up to par. </p>

<p>I don’t have much experience with the readmission process aside from knowing 2 people that applied for it. From what I do know, being caught up on critical tracking will give you a great shot at being readmitted. In the meantime I’d suggest taking some courses at Santa Fe or another CC to show that you can do well. If you’ve already taken some CC classes and upped your GPA, that should help you get back in as well. A friend of mine had a GPA not much higher than yours, was behind on tracking and had 3 or 4 full semester withdrawals (not medical) and he was readmitted. My other friend had basically the same issues (behind on critical tracking, 4 full semester w/ds) but had also failed two classes at Santa Fe - he was also readmitted. I think readmission is usually pretty lax, honestly. </p>
<p>Yes, you can apply for a retroactive medical withdrawal. I believe you can do it up to a year after the semester you withdrew from? That rule might have changed, but look for any deadlines on the official [University</a> of Florida](<a href=“http://www.ufl.edu%5DUniversity”>http://www.ufl.edu) site. Explaining your health issues on your readmission application should help your case.</p>
<p>Thanks, I am currently at my local CC. Not sure exactly how I’ll do but it’s going pretty well so far. If there is some sort of condition with acceptance I should be able to meet it. The advisors seemed to be much more opposed to taking these CC classes but it didn’t make sense to me as a CC semester generally wouldn’t represent a 5th or 6th semester for critical tracking.</p>
<p>Do you know anything about the workload/grading of ECO3101 Intermediate Microeconomics? Myedu says ~2/3 get an A or a B how does that stack up to standard classes? I’m considering taking a pretty tough courseload that might be too much if this class is very tough</p>
<p>Chance please?
1300/1920 sat, 3.8 wgpa, AP
Strong EC w leadership, great essay (according to AP eng. Teacher)
Does it help that was prof there for 12years?</p>
<p>Could you order the admission components in order of importance (freshman) and describe how much important. (I.e. Essay is worth a third of the application)</p>
<p>Hey all! I will make it a point to check the boards these next few days just incase any seniors have any last minute questions about the application process. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Congrats on your readmission! I’m happy to hear about it. I am not personally familiar with intermediate micro. but I believe that distribution is roughly equal to the grade distribution in most business courses. I know that most professors in Warrington prefer to have the class average cluster around a C. </p>
<p>Since this is your first semester back, I’d really recommend taking a bit of a lighter course load, especially since you must take ECO3101 next semester. I would suggest this whether or not the course was required or not, honestly.</p>
<p>Any econ. majors around that can give more insight into ECO3101? </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yea, no problem. I applied with a 1410 SAT (720 M, 690 V- year before CR was included), 3.7 UW GPA. I went to a well known private school and had some quality ECs. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You have a good shot. Looks like a good match. One of your family members is or was a prof? That will not impact the admissions decision. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Applications are reviewed on an individual basis. However I’ll give you a general idea of the weight these aspects usually carry. </p>
<p>Your SAT or ACT & GPA carry the most importance. An edge goes towards the tests scores because a “good” GPA is dependent on the school you go to. Course rigor is significant and tied into the review of your GPA. Your resume and essays have a smaller impact on admissions decisions generally. This is not to say the resume and essays are not important and that you shouldn’t put effort into these areas (far from it).</p>

<p>hollis731, if your weighted UF gpa is 4.7, and unweighted is 3.9, AND you have all those leadership club positions…you’re definitely in. <em>-</em></p>
<p>You’ve an excellent shot. UF is a good match. Your class rank reflects well, your GPA is solid and your test scores are in range. If I remember correctly, you have an interesting backstory that’ll make for great essays.</p>
<p>Have you a submitted your test scores yet? If not, I’d recommend that you submit the ACT score. It is comparatively better than your SAT.</p>
<p>Congrats on your class rank! </p>

<p>Not sure if you got the answer to this but this is all of you have to do: </p>

<p>Remove the spaces within the tags and voila ! </p>

</p>
<p>There is no limit to the amount of times you can take the SAT. However, a 4th attempt is often viewed as overkill. </p>
<p>Keep in mind that UF will superscore (take the highest score from each section). Admissions will ALWAYS take the highest score from all your attempts. Your June score (which is still very good, btw!), will not be the score admissions uses. </p>
<p>Right now, your superscore is a 1400/1600. That is an enviable score and I would recommend that you stick with it and not attempt the SAT again. Obviously that is ultimately up to you though.</p>
<p>If your desire is to enter the honors program, keep mind that you can always petition for entrance or apply during your 1st semester at UF.</p>
<p>Do you know anything about readmission through Fresh Start Program? It seems to be a HUGE secret. ANY information would help, even if its just that you “know someone who knew someone…” LOL!</p>
<p>Fresh Start and Readmission are two separate processes that occur at the same time. To be eligible to be considered for fresh start you would have to have been dismissed from UF for poor academic performance (15+ deficit points) and out of college for at least 5 years. [University</a> of Florida - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/ugrad/readmission.html]University”>Readmission - University of Florida)</p>
<p>Basically, if you meet the requirements above - you would apply for readmisisons and then contact the college you want to be readmitted into and ask if they would be willing to consider you for the program. They would have to write a letter to the registrar on your behalf asking that you be considered and the registrar’s office would have to agree for you to be admitted into the fresh start program. If admitted, your GPA starts over and you get to keep the credits you earned that were at least a C.</p>
<p>Obviously, given all of the conditions above - it does not happen frequently.</p>
<p>I am familiar with the application process as my application is currently under review, and I do know that it is not traditional readmission but it is still classified as readmission THROUGH the Fresh Start Program as per the CLAS Fresh Start Program committee personnel I have been in contact with. My question was more about odds of acceptance. I have never heard of anyone accepted into this program and there isn’t any information beyond the application process available anywhere. Thank you for shedding more light on what happens after they have received my application though, any new information is appreciated.</p>
<p>I’m living in Jennings hall next year, and I got room number 01** but I’m still confused about what floor my room is actually on. Because I know there is a ground floor, so is the “first floor” more like a second floor in the sense that you have to climb a flight of stairs to get there? Or do you enter on the first floor and go down to the ground floor?Thanks for any answers</p>
<p>I believe that is sort of the basement. If you enter Jennings from the front you are on the first floor - room numbers start with a 1. Jennings is built into a small hill and the land drops down from the front of the building. So when you enter the front on the first floor, there is a two story lobby and you can see down into the “basement” floor. However, the basement is not a dark, no windowed place. There are full windows on the back of the building and you can enter into the basement floor from the back of the building. I think there must be windows in the front of the building too for the basement rooms based on the layout of the floor. There are a lot fewer dorm rooms on this floor. See photo here of the windows in Jennings: [File:UF</a> JenningsHall.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:UF_JenningsHall.jpg]File:UF”>File:UF JenningsHall.jpg - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>Okay I see what it means now by ground floor. Thanks! Do you think living on the first floor is a bad thing? Like will there be a lot of people walking through because it’s the floor that you enter the building on?</p>
<p>I think since your room number starts with a 0, you are on the basement floor. I don’t know if they consider the basement or first floor, the ground floor. There is an entrance door to the building on both floors, but on all floors there is a locked door to the hallways where the dorm rooms are. The lobby and big lounge areas are in the middle of the two wings and are where you enter the building. The dorm room hallways are off from there. Unless you live on that hallway, you can’t get in and walk by the rooms. The only bad things I can see to living on the basement floor is that there are fewer dorm rooms (some might see that as a good thing), people on the outside of the building would be able to see in your windows, and your view is of the ground and not the tree tops. Maybe a little less secure feeling too. On the plus side, you’re near the laundry and the large lounge areas and can join in any fun easily! Do you know if you’re in the east or west wing?</p>
