<p>I've gone insane and decided to count the number of says until Judgment Day, February 12th.</p>
<p>February 12th is 86 days away...I started this countdown when it was 99 days away. I've made headway :D</p>
<p>So without further adieu...COUNTDOWN!!!</p>
<p>86...</p>
<p>85 days left…still have no idea how to pass the time</p>
<p>Why would you do this? It’d be so much better if you cleared your mind of it completely (or as much as possible).</p>
<p>84</p>
<p>Perhaps your right. I don’t think I’m letting it consume me though, so as long as I’m not going into anxious shock I guess things are ok :D</p>
<p>Are you really going to post a countdown every day in this thread? Seems a bit obsessive to me. And in a previous post, you said you were “nervously fidgeting” about your admissions decision. </p>
<p>Just chill out, your stats seems fine, you really don’t have much to freak out over. I had lower stats than you and was pretty much expecting not to get in, but I’m here now…</p>
<p>what term did you apply for?</p>
<p>Me? Summer B, but it doesn’t really matter what term you apply for when it comes to admissions.</p>
<p>Per [University</a> of Florida - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/ugrad/frapply.html]University”>Freshman - How To Apply - University of Florida):</p>
<p>“Summer B is no different from fall in terms of competition, as all freshman applicants are evaluated as a class. There is no distinction between terms, so there is no admission advantage or disadvantage to choosing summer or fall entry.”</p>
<p>Yeah, thats what I applied for as well. Mainly so I can adjust to gainesville before the fall flood.</p>
<p>wait, i thought you already applied to UF? I saw your previous posts.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, last year. And I’m a freshman at UF right now.</p>
<p>Oh I’m sorry, I thought you were the original poster. My bad!</p>
<p>yeah I’m the OP.</p>
<p>83.</p>
<p>And, at this point its not really as nerve-wracking as boring. I just want something to happen… :)</p>
<p>UF is my top choice. If I get in, my tuition deposit is being sent ASAP. Until then, I have to occupy myself with a 5 minute countdown everyday haha</p>
<p>Are you really going to do this every day?</p>
<p>Seriously, all of us have to wait, and posting on here will only make it feel longer.</p>
<p>Ha, it’s so much better to forget about UF completely (well, do your housing stuff first if you need to!) and then be surprised when you get a “Greetings from the University of Florida” email on Jan. 30th with the status-checking instructions. Then you only have to freak out for 2 weeks as opposed to like 3 months.</p>
<p>ok so nobody wants me posting the countdown, so I’ll stop…</p>
<p>I’ll restart it Jan. 30, then.</p>
<p>A few ideas to make the time go faster: Work really hard at keeping your HS grades up. Even if you are accepted UF still has the right to revoke the acceptance if your GPA takes a dive or if a serious disciplinary problem pops up. Volunteer what spare time you can with a local charity or fundraise for that charity. You’ll help your community, feel great about the effort and time time will pass quickly. Work on finding a part time job. After HS swim season was over last year my son took a week long lifeguard training course in December and was able to land a job that paid for his first year UF dorm cost. He is still working part time on campus as a lifeguard. Pay attention to the other schools you have applied to. A large portion of UF applicants will not gain acceptance. Be ready to go on to another college or university by researching their web sites and learning what you can about their campus life, course catalogs and deadlines. Above all stay positive. Whether you end up at UF or another university this is a very exciting time in your life. Prepare yourself to succeed where ever you go. Good Luck!</p>
<p>I thought one had to get lower than a “C” to get revoked?</p>
<p>“GPA takes a serious dive” definitely means lower than a C</p>
<p>Yah, I wonder what kind of “dive” would make a school (UF) or whatever rescind their offer - anyone have any idea. Would it be more than going from lets say a 3.7 to a 3.5 ?</p>
<p>UF’s admission office spells out requirements (see below address) but doesn’t actually say what specific “low point” would trigger rescinding admission. It’s still a good idea not to let "senioritis"take over. It will make those AP tests easier in May, give you a head start on your freshman year and make the time go faster.</p>
