<p>So, I applied to a few schools by the Nov. 1st deadline, one of which was UF.
UF has this whole thing where if you apply after Nov. 1st they only admit on a space-available basis.
Well, I finished my application at like 9AM on the 31st so I felt pretty fine about everything, but for the past few days (Yesterday and Today really) I've tried making a Gator Link account so I can view my status and such, and eventually today after a little investigating I found out my application fee never went through online.
I'm freaking out because UF is my main safety school, and I mean safety in a way that if I don't get into one of the amazing out of state schools I'm applying to I was reallllyyyy counting on UF to be MY school.
So now I don't know what the hell to do or how I'm going to sleep tonight.
Does anyone have any advice? I know I should call but do you think they will believe me or think I'm full of it?
My entire application was DONE the 31st, is there any way they can see that?! I only realized BECAUSE I couldn't use create a GatorLink account (which I was going to call about tomorrow anyhow)
I really really really don't know what I'll do if I get put in the late pile, because I hear that its EXTREMELY hard to get in, even in state.
Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!</p>
<p>Colleges are lenient with their early deadlines. Resubmit it and give them a call, you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Thanks, I really hope so 
If it were another school I wouldn’t worry, but since UF is so big I feel like it must be more impersonal, along with the fact that its there regular decision deadline essentially.</p>
<p>The November 1st deadline was not early decision/action. It was the final deadline for regular, Columbiafan.
And I honestly don’t know, I’d say call. Unfortunately I can’t promise anything, the applicant pool has shot up 300% over the last three years. I don’t think they’ll be handing out many space-available acceptances this year. </p>
<p>But honestly, UF isn’t a safety for even top students. Many even 5.0/2400’s get rejected.</p>
<p>Thats exactly what I wasn’t hoping to hear…</p>
<p>So I just called and the lady said thats its fine to submit your application fee after the deadline as long as you have your application in. HURRAYYYYY THank godd</p>
