<p>Anyone else find it interesting that ilovethe47 is practically the only person I know that calls the University of Florida UFL instead of UF?</p>
<p>Ha, I’ve noticed that to. It seems like ilovethe47 is part of the minority (ironic) that call UF UFL.</p>
<p>@CORNandTOOTHPICK: can’t tell if you were trying to insult me or not, but whatever. Mechanical engineer, minor in entrepreneurship. </p>
<p>@ilovethe47: was that really your rebuttal? “I’m right and your wrong, now just leave it” is what you’re basically saying. You may as well say “well I got nothing, but I’m gonna say I’m right, you’re wrong anyways and will hope that you’ll drop this because I said so.” Come on ilovethe47, every time before you at least TRIED to have a rebuttal but this time you have nothing? Look, I’m not here to insult you, but you keep doing the same mistakes, the reason you are almost always wrong is because you do the same mistakes and you keep speculating. I don’t care if you don’t admit your wrong, which I would recommend you do, but, AT LEAST, fix your errors. And the only person at fault for having nothing to do is you. Write a book or do volunteer work.</p>

<p>I’ll tell you wanna be Gators why----
It’s UFL as in—
On blackboard, its myufl
On email, its <a href=“mailto:xxxx@ufl.edu”>xxxx@ufl.edu</a>
Etc.</p>
<p>I am not a wanna be Gator. I am a proud parent of a current Gator. I’m well aware of myufl, but that doesn’t mean I call UF anything other than UF. My daughter tells me that none of her friends refer to the school name as UFL even though they use myufl almost daily. But thanks for the comment.</p>

Understanding that you are an adult, I’ll bite my tongue and say…
You are really a wannabe Gator. You are living the life as a Gator vicariously through your kid.</p>
<p>"it doesn’t matter if you’re OOS, you’re a UF applicant, period. People have their speculations and all saying “oh yeah they want OOS more because of more money” or “they want in-state since they are a flagship” but let’s stick to the facts: all of that is mumbo jumbo with no proper source or weight; it’s fabricated information, mere assumptions, not the truth. And the truth is that it’s the same thing between OOS and in state, in terms of competition; and that’s the truth because it’s from a legit source, the actual admission officers here at the university. "</p>
<p>I agree with this post! We heard from an admissions rep during the on campus presentation (in their admissions auditorium type room) that is does not matter if you are an In State or Out of State applicant - they are the same in admissions. It was part of the presentation at the time (February 2011) and a question about this subject was asked in the Admissions Q&A.</p>
<p>@Sabertooth None at all. You just sounded like an engineer. I’m in mechanical and aerospace too. :P</p>
<p>I don’t find it strange. It’s an abbreviation. Even UF calls themselves UF.</p>
