Hello all,
UF is my dream school. I have shown extreme interest by contacting the admissions office, going on a tour, tweeting them from time to time, and each year when an Adcom has visited my school I have been there. I called the office of admissions the other day and the woman saw one of my tweets to them (not important but I’m acknowledging it anyways).
I am very close to submitting my application. At this point I am just tweaking my essay more and hoping for the best. As I get closer I become more anxious. I don’t have the best stats as other candidates, however I can’t see myself at another school.
