I think I might try and switch my entry term to Summer B…I’ve heard a lot about students finding it way easier getting used to campus and everything. My cousin is a senior there now and told me today one of his regrets is not starting in summer. Any one else thinking this? I also literally cannot wait until August! I wish I was there now :))

@aaajones Yeah that’s the main reason I applied to the summer b term.

OOS student from New Hampshire
Keeping my fingers crossed for an OOS scholarship…Does anyone have any information on OOS scholarships for UFL?

What is Summer B?

Alright guys, I have been looking at all the previous posts and I am astonished that I even got in with my stats. I must have slid through the cracks some way. I don’t feel like I deserve this acceptance but with my stats I hope to give hope to other students with similar stats and that anything is possible. Just work hard and just believe in yourself.

@khanam Summer B is a 6 week semester that starts in late June. If you start in Summer B, you finish up those classes, take two weeks off for the rest of summer, and then go back for Fall.

@SouthIndian1998 your stats aren’t that bad

@BeastofRP apparently they accepted about 2000 students early who they considered their top 2% of applicants… I found out on the CC Berkeley thread that there was a press release to that effect http://news.berkeley.edu/2016/01/11/more-than-100000-students-seek-admission-to-berkeley/

@mhans21

UF offers 3 levels of OOS merit scholarships, $8,000, $12,000 and $20,000 a year, to somewhere between 10% and 20% of the admitted OOS students.

Look for merit info around mid to late March.

Posting this for my daughter:

If anyone else is planning to apply to Honors program, please highlight it as well.
