The OFFICIAL 2013 Decisions Thread

<p>Accepted! Very happy!</p>

<p>2110 SAT</p>

<p>4.0/4.0 GPA unweighted</p>

<p>Honestly, I am so relieved to have been accepted. There are some seriously good candidates in this thread who got rejected and I feel bad for you guys; especially when UF randomly accepts other kids with much lower stats.
My good friend got in with a 1640 SAT, and I’m super happy for him, but seeing these 2000s denied, I can’t help but feel bad for you guys.</p>

<p>Also do all acceptances get an e-mail? I received an e-mail from my admissions officer and that’s how I found out before I could get on the UF site. I contacted her several times during my application process though, so I wasn’t sure if that had anything to do with it.</p>

<p>Does anybody see anything about an admission fee (200$)?</p>

<p>Did anybody get deferred?</p>

<p>Well, I got in, I guess. Applied for Fall Term, but sadly got IA… I have yet to decide whether I’m going to commit on the off-chance that sometime in Mid-May (after the commit-deadline), when they start to look at term change requests,that they move me to the fall term… 'Cause what if they don’t move me? I’ll be committed to UF and stuck in IA.</p>

<p>UF is a flop, and its admission policy is not only ridiculous but also irregular/inconsistent. From what I can tell, UF places EXTREME value on class rank, seeing as the only people who posted an acceptance with under a 4.0 UF GPA/2200 SAT were in the top 5% of their class or better. I was no where near the top 5% of my class, so I can understand how I didn’t get fall admission if that was the only thing they cared about.</p>

<p>I am truly sorry for anyone with similar (or better) stats than me who was denied. And to anyone who got fall admission with worse stats than me: Go screw yourself :)</p>

<p>Accepted - Fall 2013
UF GPA - 4.2
SAT - 1850
ACT - 29
Rank - 2%</p>

<p>What got me accepted - Awesome course load </p>

<p>Go GATORS!</p>

<p>

Looks like we got some passive aggresion tied bitterness in here…</p>

<p>If someone with lower stats than you ws accepted and you were denied, that applicant probably had something that you lacked.</p>

<p>…and UF really likes IB students, so if you know anyone that really wants to go to UF and is deciding between IB or not, tell them to go IB.</p>

<p>Ah, yes! IB! My friend, who is IB, was accepted.</p>

<p>Denied OOS</p>

<p>33 ACT
4.0 UF GPA
3.5 unweighted
Worked for 1.5 years
Met with two admissions counselors who pretty much lied to me about the process.</p>

<p>UF does love IB
I think about 20 of my friends were accepted :)</p>

<p>@ oohtobeagooner</p>

<p>Same thing for my kid. </p>

<p>Checked out previous yrs acceptance threads and same thing was mentioned as happening. All seemed to be of the same texture of issues. Are you going to be a “transfer student” (posses an AA or have over 60 real college credits/not AP equivalents)</p>

<p>Seems that once identified as one who might possibly change statuses of Freshman admit to Transfer admit, triggers further records reviews and stalls the admission from decisions on the posted decision date. </p>

<p>I feel relatively confident in my kids records as once accepted as a degree seeking student, an AA from UF is achievable in the first term at UF. As a majority of the classes are from UF (40 credits) and the rest from an IVY league school HS summer program. </p>

<p>Don’t sweat the weekend. You’ll know the process your admission is hung in on Monday. Once you get through to admissions on Monday. Just remember they have probably just talked with 20 angry people that did not get in.</p>

<p>Go Gators!</p>

<p>Just woke up, logged in again, and I am still a GATOR— I guess it wasn’t a dream!
By the way-
What ever happened to that “genius” ILOVE47”, I wonder if he got accepted and if so, please tell me which dorm he will be living in so that I can avoid it></p>

<p>I don’t get it, I got accepted to Michigan OOS and I live in florida so idk what the problem is. I’m not a transfer student (I’m a 3 year HS graduate, maybe that’s the case?) and I haven’t taken any dual enrollment classes. I didn’t apply to any other state schools because I was confident of getting accepted to UF, I just want the peace and mind of knowing that in case I don’t get enough aid for the other schools I get accepted to I can always just go to UF.</p>

<p>UMich- I do qualify for a lot of finaid and I have prepaid so I don’t think it will be that much of a big deal. Plus I’m applying to a bunch of schools that “meet 100% need of aid”</p>
