<p>I'm just curious....D sent app in on 9/28 and requested HS transcripts on 9/30. Just received a letter from UF admission's office, requesting the transcripts. She checked gator link and they received them on 10/3. I'm just wondering why they would spent time and $ to mail these out knowing they will, most likely, come in shortly. We didn't get them from any other Schools.</p>

<p>Good point! But I know since I have son who is a freshman at UF this year that they nickle and dime you to death. Like that $25 hold a spot for housing whether you are accepted or not fee. Imagine how much that adds up to.</p>

<p>The housing fee is great. If your son is accepted and already paid the fee, he is guaranteed the best housing… the sooner the better. A lot of people wish they had paid it sooner.</p>

<p>What ufgator18 said! Pay the $25 fee as soon as you get the notice. It’s worth it.</p>

<p>When and how do you get the notice to pay it?</p>

<p>The department of housing will email you about 2-3 weeks after you apply. Or go online to their website.</p>

<p>Don’t wait to get a notice!!! </p>

<p>Make a gator link account using the ufid of your application. Go to the housing site and reserve your spot on the housing list. I did it about this time last year and was able get my choice of housing.</p>

<p>Same thing occurred to me. I actually got the mail from UF asking for the transcript the same day they updated my application status saying they requested and received my transcript from my high school.</p>
