<p>Satscholar,</p>

<p>You felt you were entitled an acceptance because you thought you were some kind of "academic god."</p>

<p>"sorry if it alarmed some of you"
I don't know how that can really "alarm" anybody. It really shows how arrogant you are. </p>

<p>I can't believe gator12 did not see my post. Perhaps he did not want to respond directly to my post.
The admissions officers did not see the "poignant" part of your essay.</p>

<p>Again, I'm sorry that you have been rejected, and I agree with Orchid_2010's comment.</p>

22

<p>i might just drive up too the admissions office monday night and arrive tuesday morning. from miami. i feel robbed considering my classmates who got in and others i know. i feel if i put the effort to make it up there that i should at least get a second look at. i want to know why i was rejected and if there is anything i can do. i really cant see myself going anywhere but florida. sante fe but then wth was the point of IB. i coulda gotten into sante fe last year, skipping senior year entirely.</p>

23

<p>I would have taken a deferral.....but a straight up rejection? It's just kinda a surprise after my scholarships and other acceptances. I don't know, it's just a disappointment after having people reassure you that you would get in all week. Then I got into Illinois-Champaign, and that only left me more puzzled! I'm not sure if I have the determination to appeal though. I'll have to think if I really, really, REALLY want to go to UF and go through the long process.</p>

24

<p>dvm, where do you go to school in ft. lauderdale?</p>

25

<p>Heritage......it's very competitive. Maybe UF just received a lot of applications from my school and thought I was on the lower end of the spectrum.</p>

26

<p>yeah, i know a lot of people from heritage..i'm at cypress. I know what you mean though. I'm 100% shocked at my outright rejection and the only thing I can think of is that my gpa put me in the 85% whereas everyone who got accepted was top 10%. yet my test scores and extracurriculars bested most of them.</p>

27

<p>With no ED and only one application period, there are no deferrals. There are only acceptances, rejections, and waitlisted.</p>

28

<p>how do u know if you are waitlisted. i have yet to hear of someone who got waitlisted.</p>

29

<p>there are no deferals.</p>

30

<p>Actually, My son's status says "deferred" and goes on to say that a final decision will be made in March. I was actually surprised to see this as well. So basically, they have accepted, rejected, deferred, accepted for Summer or Spring. I haven't seen anyone "waitlisted", but the night is still young.</p>

31

<p>Actually, they have one more admission deadline. (March 1)</p>

<p>It's only for the "space available" basis applications though. They probably defer you to that pool. I'm sure they may waitlist some students after that round.</p>

<p>johnnytremain, you didn't get in?</p>

34

<p>hm......do you think ethnicity played a part in admissions. i.e. hispanic vs asian?</p>

35

<p>Why would you say that?</p>

36

<p>no, I got flat-out denied for summer B. :|</p>
