IB requires you to have 3 SL and 3 HL. You can, however, take 4 HLs and 2 SLs.
I have the same exact question… I applied for engineering and got accepted. I would say we are since we are just undergraduate.
Out of state student from Michigan, 31 act with 3.84 weighted, not sure Florida GPA, took 6 AP classes. Any idea what kind of scholarship money I might receive? that will probably be the difference whether I go here or Michigan.
That’s a bit of a low GPA for scholarship money, Brady.
Again, like I’ve said before, I’m not worried about being caught. They could screen through all the applicants from my school and still not find anything meaningful because my profile here doesn’t exist in their records.
@PupuLovesPickles; Keep in mind, even if you are not discovered for this, for a person that is an “ethics be darned” individual, beware; eventually you’ll be karma’d.
Seriously, a lot of students worked extremely hard at their classes, their EC’s, volunteer hours, etc., and coming in here and bragging how you did almost nothing and got in? It says a lot more about you than you sadly do not seem to realize. Be careful. Some youthful mistakes can have lifelong repercussions.
@MomofAlex1 I’m pretty sure he’s full of BS. Like someone mentioned earlier, if he really did put First Generation on his financial aid forms he would’ve been caught anyways, and probably would’ve known that already.
I supposedly go to the same school as him and some of the courses he says he’s taken weren’t even offered at the time he could’ve taken them. Some of the clubs he mentioned that he was a part of don’t even exist. Plus, digging through his post history, he mentions that most of his friends took Algebra 1 and Geometry in 6th grade, and coming from the same county school system, I can confirm that no middle school offers that class to a 6th grader, unless there is a very special exception in which case I doubt a majority of people would still be able to take it. To be honest, I think we got tr*lled (Why is this word even censored?). No one would purposely put that much information out there and then admit to something like that.
At this point it doesn’t matter, please stop responding/reacting to his post.
@sushipanda The “T” word isn’t allowed on CC, it’s against da’rules…
When does building and room type selection usually start? It looks like last year freshmen were not able to select rooms until May 20th. Is that correct? Here is what UF housing says in regards to building and room selection:
All students who applied on or before November 1, 2016 will be able to select their own room. Building selection for Fall/Spring contract students will begin on May 20, 2016 and building selection for Summer B will begin on May 6, 2016.
Building Selection Appointment
You will receive an email in late April to notify you when Building Selection appointment information is available. To view your appointment time please log onto HMS https://hms.housing.ufl.edu with your Gatorlink username and password. Once logged in hover over “Contract” then select “Building Selection” and your appointment time will be listed on the page.
I am assuming the appointment time you receive is based on how early you applied. Can anyone confirm this? I already tried logging into hms.housing.ufl.edu but it wouldn’t let me complete a contract. It does have my application on file, but clicking on contract doesn’t have any impact on what is displayed on my screen.
@UFgogators I believe it’s based on when you paid the $25 for the housing application.
You are unreal, I worked my ass off, was never home… Had high grades and scored in the top 1 percent on my ACT… my list goes on and on for EC’s along with having a job, one of my students has autism …Never pole vaulted in my life and the first year made it all the way to states and placed. team captain on track… Student ambassador for my school, tech ambassador, NHS, Mu Alpha Theta,National science honor society… I tutor. 400 volunteer hours… youth leadership on retreats… my parents never see me… every school I have applied I have been offered scholarship money… My father went to College and my mother went for one year but had to stop due to family issues… I have moved on and accepting a scholarship… I feel as though UF never even viewed my application… I can’t understand why students that I know with low everything got in… Kids at my school are in disbelief I didn’t get in… I wish you all the best and Congrats to everyone who got in… PS I can’t believe you lied…
Apparently you can take classes at Santa Fe as a transient student if you are in Pace or IA.
@kit4kat What was your GPA and Course load like? I’ve heard that although UF says they care a lot about volunteering and ECs, they always put GPA/Rigor as a priority. Most people at my school get in with only 100 Volunteering hours (enough for Bright Futures), but I think they have extremely high UF GPAs since our school allows us to take up to 22 AP/IB classes.
My sister said that having a high ACT/SAT score won’t help you that much unless your GPA is extremely borderline, but then again, having a low SAT score won’t help either. But either way I still think UF cares more about GPA/Rigor. I saw someone here get accepted with a 1210 SAT but he/she had a 4.7 UF GPA, and my Senior friend got a 25 on his ACT but had a 4.83 UF GPA and got in.
@sushipanda my gpa and course rigor were both not very good. It seems very random who gets in honestly.
@herosaurus17 Aren’t you Out-Of-State though? It’s easier for OOS students to get in because UF likes the extra tuition they’re giving. I never saw it as random since over 90% of kids from my school get in, and the ones who don’t are at the bottom of the class. I highly doubt UF randomly rejects very academically qualified students for no reason. Perhaps they wrote a bad essay or didn’t answer the prompt correctly.

@sushipanda yeah maybe I wouldn’t have gotten in if I were instate but the acceptance rates are very similar.
@kit4kat - I’m bummed about your situation. 
You sound like a great student!
@herosaurus17 Although they are similar that doesn’t mean that the people applying OOS have the same stats as Floridian students. I’ve noticed OOS students around here get in with like 3.7 - 4.0 UF GPAs and sub-quality standardized test scores. Maybe most OOS students applying have lower GPAs and they group them in a separate category ? I have no idea how the system works. All I know is that lots of colleges accept less qualified OOS kids for more tuition…I’m not sure but I think the UCs do it like this too.
@sushipanda I guess that makes sense. I can’t speak for other states, but public school kids in my state(I go to private school) don’t have as many opportunities to take AP classes. Kids in Florida can take so many in one year because of FLVS? And we don’t have anything like that… So I think Fl students are expected to have a much harder schedule and more hard classes. I’m just guessing but I see Florida kids with 16+ ap classes and thats impossible to do here.
