Essay: I wrote about a humbling experience I had during the holidays a few years ago when I chose an Angel from an Angel tree at Panera Bread and he asked for a backpack, ‘if possible.’

Dad has an Associates degree and a Bachelor’s degree
Mom did not attend college
I qualify for Bright Futures FAS

I also don’t have many volunteer hours from my freshman and sophomore years because my school lost them, and foolishly, I did not think to keep a record of them for myself.

Date Applied: Nov 5
…Is anyone else still waiting for their application to be processed? Mine is at 4 weeks…

It took mine a long time. I was just about to call to make sure they received everything and then the portal changed and showed they had received everything. I would call. With other schools, everytime I called, it updated the next day and I was accepted. I know UF doesn’t communicate that until Feb.
