<p>I thought they were supposed to be cutting down on admissions this year.... From what I've seen it almost looks like the class of 2013 had it easier than 2012...</p>

108

<p>that's exactly what I'm thinking alexithymia. I was actually freaking out earlier because I thought my 33 ACT and 4.34 UF GPA was too low!</p>

109

<p>well you all will see the stats soon, and see how much they have cut and what not, and more students probably got admitted with the 100% bright futures.</p>

<p>Anywho, congratulations everyone! Welcome to the gator nation =)</p>

113

<p>I've spoken to 4-5 people from my class that either didn't get in, or were accepted Spring 2010. 2 of them were rock stars with higher SATs (one 1420) but lower class rank (still 3.4-3.6). </p>

</code></pre>

<p>WHAT I WANT TO POINT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>UF is my fallback school. I am looking towards the most selective ones out there. I just want to let you UF people know, IDK WHAT THE **** HAPPENED this YEEAR. the amazing people that got rejected is just disgusting. Kids with many AP classes and club activities, top of the class, and superb SAT scores. A kid with a 1410, girl with 1370, and guy with 1430 were rejected. You guys, i took UF as a little game, but my friends dreams and hopes were crashed. So many ppl from my school that got rejected that shouldve gone in.... it makes me so sad. I was about to not even put effort intoo the UF app, just make a fast one, but it came out okay. Take the app serious those of you who think you are too good for UF.</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! I WOULDNT MIND GOING TO UF! IF I DONT GET ACCEPTED TO MY TOP CHOICES, IM GOING THERE</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK!</p>
