Official 2010 UF decisions thread

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Florida

<p>Well, everyone, the big day is less than 48 hours away so it is time to get everything started. Everyone from past admission days, present admission days (us), and the one’s applying for the future and the Gator alumni are excited to know the kind of people heading to Gainesville. As you receive your decision, share your excitement (starting with us, of course :)) and don’t take it too hard if you don’t get in. It’s not the end of the world and if you really are committed to becoming a Gator, you will get another chance some day. Well, without further adieu...</p>

<p>Instructions: For the part where it says “pick one” below, make sure to backspace on the spaces between the brackets. Take note that I changed the questions around from other schools that are related more to UF and not to other universities.</p>

<p>Pick one:
[ size=+2][ color=green][ b]Decision: Accepted[ /b][ /color][ /size]
[ size=+2][ color=red][ b]Decision: Rejected[ /b][ /color][ /size]</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0):
SAT (breakdown):
ACT:
Rank:
Total number of academic classes (use your fingers, lol):
Total number of AP classes:
IB student (Yes/No):
Senior year course load:</p>

<p>Extracurricular activities (position in parenthesis):
Job/Work experience:
Volunteer/Community service (list your total overall hours, too):
Honors, awards, or recognitions:
Essay (be honest):</p>

<p>State or Country:
Ethnicity:
Gender:
Income Bracket (low, middle, or high):
Hooks (URM, first generation college, legacy, etc.):</p>

<p>General comments (how you feel, any advice for future applicants, etc):</p>

2

<p>instead of putting unweighted GPA put UF GPA because that is the only GPA UF Considers in their decisions</p>

3

<p>A lot of people won’t know their UF GPA, so it’s fine to put the unweighted one and just list the AP and IB courses if you didn’t actually calculate your UF GPA or call to find out.</p>

4

<p>it’s still misleading. the UW gpa is useless, as well as any other weighted GPA calculation a high school gives. it’s not that hard to do your UF gpa…
A in regular 4.0
B in regular 3.0</p>

<p>A in honors 4.5
B in honors 3.5</p>

<p>A in AP/IB/Dual enrollment 5.0
B in AP/IB/Dual enrollment 4.0</p>

<p>why would you post a decisions thread not including a vital (if not the most important) factor in their decision??? If you can get in to UF, hopefully you can calculate your UF gpa :wink: but i may be wrong lol</p>

5

<p>I think most people don’t calculate their UF GPA, so that’s why I didn’t put it. If someone knows theirs and is willing to post it, that would be great :slight_smile: I will give out both. (It won’t let me edit the first post btw).</p>

<p>man, i can’t wait. good luck to all of us!</p>

8

<p>I copied last years UF 2013 Decisions Thread. Good luck! My daughter found out an hour earlier than when they were going to post them online</p>

9

<p>sorry roffles, I didn’t mean to post the same thing as you. I thought I was posting it to February 12th post. Good luck!</p>

10

<p>this question might have already been answered, but what time do they post decisions?</p>

11

<p>5 PM Florida time.</p>

12

<p>ok thanks torioreo</p>

13

<p>No problemo! Just be aware…the server will be extremely flooded at that time, so it may take a while for it to load ;)</p>

14

<p>My daughter found out an hour earlier then when they said they were going to post last year. I thiink they said 6pm but we found out at 5pm. Good luck!</p>

15

<p>24 Hours exactly.</p>

16

<p>where do you go to view the decision? do you go to the check status and put in the gatorlink username and password?</p>

17

<p>yep! just like you said.</p>

18

<p>It’s no problem g8tor nurse :)</p>

<p>Anyone can use whichever they like.</p>

19

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s fine. Those who know their UF GPA can still add it, but an UW GPA should still be posted and we can kind of guestimate the UF GPA when they list how many IB or AP classes they’ve taken.</p>

<p>Good luck everybody! Ahh I remember this day last year, the most nerve-wracking day of my life!! Go Gators</p>
