Comments: I will be graduating with my AA as well as my HS diploma in the spring of 2018, so if I don’t get accepted as a freshman, I could apply as a transfer student, I have 200+ hours of community service, which is good. I guess I’m just scared to see my UF decision since it’s my first choice, but I’m sure all of you are anxious too. Good Luck Everyone :slight_smile:

So, how will FSU let us know if we go in? Will it say on the Application Status page or will we receive an email? Thank you!

On Friday, Feb 9th after 5pm, you logon to their site to see your status once you sign on.

Sorry, I put FSU and meant UF Ha. My son applied to FSU but is no longer interested anymore. We are hoping he gets into UF. That is his first choice. If not, he will attend either UCF or USF. Good luck to everyone.

@BillyMadison123 HUGE MISTAKE! lol

Ha! I hear you! Good luck to everyone.

@natsumio If you don’t get in as a freshman they will AUTOMATICALLY consider you for transfer admissions so there’s no need to worry about applying separately. You basically get two chances. A friend that I dual enrolled with got in through transfer admissions BUT she didn’t know until April (which is super late). So if by chance you don’t get in through regular admissions you’ll have to wait a while and be patient. Also, as a transfer admit it is much harder to change your major (or so I have heard).

does anyone know if there have been people that have been denied from the innovation program at uf? i applied for summer, and innovation academy

2 weeks from today, people! Can’t wait!

@randomname87 Yes, students get denied to Innovation Academy. No one yet because the decisions aren’t until Fe 9th.
