<p>Does anyone have any information about UWF? My daughter applied to USF and UWF (her safety) and 12 other schools, mostly LACs. She’s still waiting to hear from USF but was accepted at UWF. While she would much prefer to attend one of the LACs to which she was accepted, the financial reality is that she may have to attend a state school. UWF seems like a pretty good fit for her, but we haven’t visited yet and don’t know much about it. Any info would be much appreciated!</p>
<p>This is the board about Florida Gulf Coast, so you might want to find the UWF board to get more responses there. Also, if you’ve been waiting FOREVER to hear from USF, you might want to call and make sure there’s no problem. They somehow never received my DD’s transcripts (sent electronically from her school) and I heard from someone else where they waited so long to decide on him that they said they needed first semester grades now. So just make sure they have everything they need.</p>
<p>Thanks Alex. I don’t know if there is a UWF thread and I figured that since folks were weighing in on a few different FL state schools, I’d try to get some info here, but I will try to find the correct thread - sorry. As you can see, I’m a newbie here! I have been following the USF thread so I know all about the problems that people have been having, my daughter included. Her school sent her transcript immediately (supposedly) and her status had “did not receive” for weeks. Finally I asked the school to send it again and miraculously, USF got it and posted it to her file within a day! I think that my D’s problem is that she is falling in a somewhat uncertain color in their grid. Good GPA, 4 Academic Success Factors, but low SAT scores. Sigh…we’ll just have to see…</p>
<p>*UWF board, not thread. Sorry, still learning terminology!</p>
