Better Acceptance Chance for Summer vs. Fall?

<p>Maybe someone can answer a question for a friend who is applying to UF for 2008. Does an applicant have a better chance of gaining acceptance to UF if that applicant applies for Summer B instead of for Fall? Did anyone hear any tips like that on their campus tours and talks? My daughter will be a sophmore at UF this fall, and started last year as a Freshman Summer B. She thought it a very good, gradual start to life at UF. This new applicant wonders if he should just request Summer B instead of Fall, maybe increasing his chances of being accepted to UF? He has excellent stats, but maybe not ivy league stats.</p>

<p>Well, UF says that it doesn't make any difference in terms of admission, for what its worth at least.</p>

<p>Although UF says it doesn't make a difference, I think applying for Summer B gives you a slight advantage. Think about from an economic standpoint, UF will obtain more money from you for another semester in addition to your four years.</p>

<p>I don't think that there is any admission's advantage to summer B at UF. The UF literature repeatedly says that there isn't any difference. They have plenty of applicants to fill the spots.</p>

<p>Thanks all for your responses. I will pass this on to the young man who asked this question before he sends in his application.</p>

<p>I just want to say that I have been a "lurker" on this bb for quite awhile, and have gained so much valuable info from you all to pass on to my daughter, a UF Nursing major, and my son who very much wants to go to UF in several years. My daughter will be moving into a Fletcher Hall single this fall.</p>

<p>Thank you all so much for your information and posts, esp. to the "regulars." You are such a helpful resource!</p>
