<p>Has anyone gotten their letter in the mail saying you have been accepted/denied? If so, where are you located? I know it is online, but I was also wondering if it has been sent out in mail. The letter online said a few days but I am so anxious to get it now. lol. Also, do we get information about scholarship in this packet like UM does? Thanks!</p>
<p>UMcane what does it say on the website? were you accepted?</p>
<p>I believe that a letter will be sent out soon with financial aid information etc. But do not expect anything like UM. U of F costs 1/2 of what UM does including room and board.</p>
<p>“Your official notification and additional materials will be mailed to you in the next few days.” This was on Friday, so I am assuming it will be in tomorrow- at least I hope! I also live in Orlando so thats relatively close to Gainesville. But my mail didnt even come today. I sware the mail lady skipped my house. haha</p>
<p>Yes, I was accepted. Thats what it says online when I go to my status check. Are you a current student? And yeah I’m not really expecting any scholarship. Im not even sure if UF offers scholarships that you dont apply for like FSU and UM does?</p>
<p>UF generally doesn’t not give out scholarships. very very very few people get scholarships as freshmen.</p>
<p>but it is still possible to get a scholarship without paying at UF? I hadnt even heard of it at FSU and I got one…</p>
<p>besides the ones for national merit, the only scholarships I think UF gives out are the opportunity scholar ones, which are only for people who qualify for the Pell Grant. There is also the Presidential scholarship, which I got, but to be honest I have no idea why or how to qualify for it. I think it has something to do with being a minority or maybe lower income that don’t qualify for pell grant.</p>
<p>what do you mean opportunity scholarship? And I qualify for a pell grant, but Im so confused on how all this financial aid stuff works.</p>
<p>I don’t know exactly how it works, as I didn’t get that one, but I think it’s not something you apply for, they just pick who gets it based off of your qualifications,like qualifying for the pell grant and still being competitive I guess. only some people get it, not everyone who gets the pell grant. I do remember that I wasn’t notified of getting the presidential one untill about a week after UF notified me of what financial aid I would get. so you’ve still got a long way to go before you find out if you got the oppurtunity one.</p>
<p>Also, for anyone else reading this, could you tell me what the “Presidential Platinum” scholarship is for? it has been eating away at me for almost a year not knowing why I am getting this money.</p>
<p>so has anyone gotten their letter in the mail? Its been nearly a week…</p>
<p>In 2009, the letter came to Central Florida about 14 days after the admissions were posted online.</p>
<p>UF tuition is 1/10th that of UM!
Take it from a UM parent!</p>
<p>I just recieved my letter and stuff from UF today 
I live in Jax which is like an hour or less away</p>
<p>I received my letter too today. I live around Daytona Beach</p>
<p>I got mine today too! Did yours say “Your tuition deposit requirement has been waived; however, you are required to secure your place in the 2011 Freshman Class at the above website no later than May 1, 2011.” </p>
<p>I am wondering why it says this? Its in bold in the center of the page.</p>
<p>Yes it did, and it is true. I’ve already reserved my spot! My mom was so happy that she didn’t have to pay the $200 deposit and so am I. </p>
<p>Did you pay your Application fee with a SAT or ACT waiver?</p>
<p>I received mine today in the mail and I live in Jacksonville, so everyone should be getting theirs soon. It was only postmarked yesterday, I don’t know why it took them so long to send them out.</p>
<p>Anyone else disappointed by lack of information in the packet? Both UCF and UNF gave me huge brochures and folders, and UF is just a letter and a two page packet. Haha, Oh UF, gotta love 'em!</p>
<p>Ya even JU gave more, so I thought there would be more information. But I was just happy to see that letter!</p>
<p>A 2 page packet? I didnt get that…what it say?</p>
<p>It was titled “Freshman Information” and just held the “9 steps to ensure you had a successful transition to UF”. It also had Tuition and Fees on the back of it.
Thats strange that you didn’t get it.</p>
<p>yea for whoever didn’t get it, don’t worry too much. I live in town and still haven’t gotten it.</p>
