@ cody27, no act or sat score?

@Harryp17
Yes, but that didn’t go over too well

Atm I’m just waiting for march 31st to roll around! But it’s great to know I have UF as an option. And yes @SouthFloridaMom9 and @Harryp17 CS is quite nice at UF, lots of great research options to consider!

Why do they accept 13,000 and there’s only 6600 spots open?

@snicks1234 about 51% of students will actually enroll

Comments:

stats?

It is really weird how random they are, I had friends with way higher stats than me who deserved this and didn’t get in. Honestly, it had to have been my essay or else I don’t know.

I don’t understand how one SA can outweigh everything else… I had a great SA and everything else, whatever I’ll take the scholarship money and decide on another school…
