Official USF Accepted/Rejected thread for Fall/Summer 2014

<p>Congrats :slight_smile: see you in Aug.</p>

<p>Thanks! @anthonydillon1</p>

<p>I was just accepted to USF! Sent in application on Nov 19th, application was complete on December 6th. State of residency: MA</p>

<p>Congrats, are planning to attend?</p>

<p>It’s my #1, USF and UMass are the two I’ve narrowed it down to. I still have to visit but it seems like the perfect college based off of what I’ve seen online. How about you?</p>

<p>Same, it’s my #1 and I was accepted last week. Based on what I have seen online, this school is perfect for me. Also haven’t visited yet but would be very soon. :)</p>

<p>Congrats cornerback!</p>

<p>Is there any scholarship money i can recieve? With a 24 act and 3.4/3.6</p>

<p>Where are you from Dillon? And thanks Julia!</p>

<p>@Robby- its possible but most of the merit based scholarships require at least a 25 ACT (I have a 24 too)
And its Julie :)</p>

<p>O ok! Also how does finamcial aid work and when can we fill those out!</p>

<p>-- hoping to hear soo! Its been almost 4 months :((</p>

<p>I am from Tobago, it’s a small island in the Caribbean. Wbu</p>

<p>Ohh sorry about that! And Anthony, I’m from Massachusetts!</p>

<p>My Daughter was accepted at UCF, USF, Alabama, and FSU thus far, UF pending. We are strongly considering USF as they offered her a $2K per year scholarship, and this would be on top of Bright Futures with in-state tuition. I went to UF and FSU was top of her list, but we need to take a good, hard look at USF now.</p>

<p>@cornerback- its ok!</p>

<p>Still waiting and I know what borderline feels like. I know the University has a complex acceptance matrix, including if you are local and might request a waiver and try and commute. USF is trying very hard to get away from being a commuter campus.</p>

<p>My father went to USF and it has really grown up over the last few years. If you haven’t seen the campus, it looks like a city. Greek life is growing, but they need to improve that experience.</p>

<p>Everyone seeking financial aid at USF should be sure to submit online the 2014-2015 FAFSA application asap after January 1, 2014 when apps may first be submitted. Jan 1st is best day to submit the FAFSA…the early bird gets the financial aid/scholarship worm!</p>

<p>Too, new freshmen beginning classes summer session B 2014 at USF might as well go ahead and do the 2013-2014 FAFSA application now. Summer B starts June 30, 2014 and is considered part of 2013-2014 academic year. Do the 2014-2015 FAFSA application January 1, 2014, or asap after Jan. 1st. The Christmas school break a good time to work on this FAFSA stuff and get it started.</p>

<p>I am currently a college student and 2 years ago I was accepted to:
UF (summer)
FSU (fall)
UCF (fall)
USF (fall)
UT (fall) </p>

<p>I applied to 5 schools and got into all 5. I’m going to list all of my answers below and hopefully this helps everyone out a little bit. As a whole I found that acceptances were based off of extra curricular activities, service, test scores, GPA, and strength of senior schedule. I applied to summer at UF and everywhere else applied for fall.</p>

<p>I wish you all the best of luck! As you’ll see below I did not have the greatest test scores, so that being said it’s hard to say what every university is really looking for. </p>
