@sdsupride I mean, I don’t know why I wouldn’t take it seriously. If someone said that they were attending a university here I wouldn’t really doubt them. I wasn’t trying to track you down and analyze every point of your post, I just remember reading it on another thread and it stood out because of your distinct name lol
SDSU, so you’ve applied to schools on both coasts? Anyway I think your grades and scores are too low for UF. But, i do like your Teen Court and Eagle Scout ECs, that will look mighty fine at SDSU. It takes a lot of work to reach Eagle.

Comments:
So it doesn’t matter to update your first semester senior grades? Our guidance counsler said it can’t hurt…
@kit4kat UF doesn’t even see the updates. Even if you edit your SSAR, they lock it on their end so they do not see it.
Thank you, several kids are updating their ssar because they have done well senior year! I’m not going to since you said UF has locked it at their end.
If they lock it how do we see if we have a schedule change?
@soyunchico You are supposed to directly contact the office of admissions.
@JPGator98 ok thanks. I don’t need to I was just curious. Also, does anyone get irritated that uf makes us wait so long and also sends no admissions material by mail? Like i applied in September and I never got a card, letter, packet or anything. Every other school I applied to sends me material all the time and I have also gotten handwriting Material. I understand uf is a big school but so are the others that I applied to.
@soyunchico I applied the day it came out, August 15th, nothing since. Personally, I do not get upset as receiving a letter here or there doesn’t mean anything. An acceptance letter would be the best letter and well worth the wait.
I heard UF is cutting out their acceptance virtual college. Basically you would have to go to Santa Fe to get into UF.
@kit4kat PaCE? I haven’t heard that
Yes, I heard they aren’t doing anymore starting class of 2021.
@kit4kat where’d you hear that? It’s still on their website, etc.
Kids at my school, they are probably wrong then.
@JPGator98 yeah I get it doesn’t mean anything but when it honestly makes you feel like you’re only a check. Like other schools are sending happy holiday emails and even though it’s not hard to send out a mass email, it’s annoying that uf has practically no interaction. I still love uf and it’s a great school but even my mom pointed out that they don’t seem to care about applicants.
Please chance me!

Comments: I am also tri-lingual and moved to the US speaking little English at the beginning of high school, hopefully justifying my low freshmen grades.
You’re looking good, Jnjrs, I’d put my money on you getting in. I like the trial/debate stuff, and it certainly doesn’t hurt to be tri-lingual!
