<p>Other comments: UF was my backup, although I'd be happy enough to attend there because of Bright Futures. I also got accepted to MIT after being deferred early action; I'll probably go there if the finaid works out.</p>
<p>Wow, congrats on acceptance to MIT. Don't go to UF. Trust me, MIT is worth the extra 45k. You'll hate UF.<br>
It's kind of cool that there are three people on here from Naples: me, amandatraci, and otw. I always thought that I was the only one.</p>
<p>Either my school didn't send the transcript or UF lost it. Either way, my application to UF somehow got cancelled. Good thing I got into Caltech...</p>
<p>michael stop bashing UF! the majority love it there. why did you even apply?</p>
<p>i am happy for you though. a full ride to penn state, that's amazing. not that i'm surprised.</p>
<p>i think some other people from naples read CC, they just don't post.</p>
<p>bomb bradenton--something doesn't sound right. did you call to ask why you were rejected?</p>
<p>Regarding UF and MIT....My son goes to UF and I am an MIT grad. I have no issues at all with the quality of his education versus the one I received. Just a data point.</p>
<p>That's very good to know, rogracer!</p>

great EC's and recs
essays sucked because i did them literarlly in 2 minutes and 14 seconds (the first one) and 2 minutes and 27 seconds (the 2nd one)</p>
<p>i won't be going, though. i was accepted at william and mary, university of michigan-ann arbor with scholarship, and university of virginia. and i was waitlisted at cornell. i'm just lucky my family can pay/is willing to pay for my education. but for all you kids out there going to uf, it's still a great school and you really do get your bang for your buck.</p>
<p>p.s. i'm from central florida. 407 winter park represent</p>
<p>There is really no need for UF bashing, hiding behind anonymity notwithstanding.</p>
<p>You will never know whether you would cross path with any gator in the future. Don't burn your bridges, a moment of indiscretion can come back to haunt you. Be constructive.</p>
<p>That said, go gators!</p>
<p>IvyHopefulDad, Is your son going to UF? How could you have graduated ten years ago? I saw that on another post.</p>
<p>Arilmada:</p>
<p>I thought I said "more than 10 years ago". Anyway I was at Grad school then. My S was then just at kindergarten and had many years of memory of Lake Alice and Cory Village where we stayed. So looks like he will relive his memory yet again.</p>
