I applied for Fall, but was accepted into Summer B. I’ve heard that this happens to students that applied later (which I did, on Nov 1 because my guidance counselor told me the wrong date), that you didn’t “qualify” for Fall, or that it happens at random because of budget cuts. Officially, their site says something about room and the number of qualified students or something. Anybody know/happen to you? Still considering USF as well, but my sight’s mainly set on UF.</p>
