<p>Still no decision for me. I really thought it would have come in by now. I’m a bit nervous that it will automatically reject my application because my gpa is not quite the 2.5 that’s required for my major (overall…that includes horrible grades from 14 years ago). I did note on the application that my current gpa since returning to school is a 3.15 and I was accepted for fall, but if the computer automatically rejects it, that may not even get read.</p>
<p>Stay positive and confident.</p>
<p>agmama…I was kind of the same situation you are right now. About 8 years ago I did horrible in college, then I grew up and I decided I wanted to go to school haha. Anyway, I had a 2.1 OVERALL GPA with my AA when I applied to UF and got accepted it for FALL 2013. I was accepted 12 days before the beginning of the term, so stay positive :).
Good Luck! :)</p>
<p>Agmama it seems like CALS hasn’t even started their big round of decisions yet… I think only a few here and there, so don’t feel down! Just stay positive.=]</p>
<p>Thanks Noneof. I was initially rejected for fall 2013 and then went into to talk to someone at CALS about what I needed to do to be accepted for a different major in the spring. I was going to transfer to UNF and do the prereqs I needed for the major (I am out of hours for my AA so I can’t get any more financial aid until I start a bachelors). When she found out that I wanted to teach she sent me to talk to a professor in the program and he gave me a letter of recommendation because he could see that the only reason I wasn’t at the required 2.5 was the old grades. Then it was sent back through and I was accepted.
My new app was merged with the old one and I retained the same UFID and log in etc, but I’m not sure if that letter is still in my file. With grade forgiveness I have a 2.39. I was told that UF doesn’t do any type of grade forgiveness, but if you earn an AA from a Florida community college, they do…which is why I wasn’t able to attend for fall. I got a D in my last class for my AA and wasn’t awarded the AA. Without it, I didn’t get grade forgiveness and only had a 1.79 and didn’t qualify to be admitted. If it had still been a 2.0 I would have been able to attend. </p>
<p>So basically, if they’re going to reject me again, I need it to be in time for me to meet with the lady that helped me before and resubmit the app. She told me to keep her updated on what’s going on.</p>
<p>I had one W on my transcript, but it wasn’t any of my pre-requisites. Looks like UF overlooked that or didn’t calculate it into their GPA.</p>
<p>I had 3 W’s on my transcript, and I was accepted. They were medical withdrawals, but UF didn’t know that because I didn’t have a place to explain that on the app. I wouldn’t be worried about W’s.</p>
<p>My status updated and I was rejected. I’m trying not to get upset about it. I expected this to happen. I already emailed the lady who helped me before and I really hope that she’ll help me again. I wouldn’t blame her one bit if she’s written me off. I had my chance and I blew it. I want to email the stupid Humanities II instructor who made her class and grading system so difficult and nitpicky and tell her about herself, but it would do no good. I did the work and scored just fine on the parts of it that mattered (displayed understanding of the concepts, etc). If she didn’t take 20% of the grade away for 2 spelling/grammar mistakes, I would have passed without a problem. I made a B in Humanities I (with a different instructor) with the same level of work AND I missed an assignment that was worth 15% of the grade. There’s no reason I should have made a D in Humanities II. In fact, I’m retaking it on campus where it’s harder and more work and I’ve got an A average. I turned in the same paper that earned me a C the first time and got a B+ from this instructor. I hope that everyone else gets better news than I did! Cross your fingers that this isn’t over for me!</p>
<p>Don’t feel down, at least you have tried to accomplish your goals which is more important than the result (win or loose) good luck on your future ventures</p>
<p>5 more days until the 15th…</p>
<p>Anyone else hear/not hear? Still at step 2 and today was the deadline.</p>
<p>I went today to meet with the lady at CALS who helped me get in for fall. She is resending my application and my letter of support from the department. 
Yay! Looks like I’m getting a second chance. I won’t be screwing it up this time!</p>
<p>Megan,</p>
<p>Last term they gave a date that apps would be done by and then ended up extending it. I don’t remember how long because I had already gotten my results. Check the CALS page on facebook, maybe there’s something posted there.</p>
<p>That’s awesome agmama, glad to hear that!! I spoke to Mrs. Emelie Matthews at CALS and she said the apps are with the committee now and I should know hopefully by the end of this week.</p>
<p>Glad I was right! I realized that I just assumed you had applied to CALS! I hope you get accepted! I’m so excited…it’s just like the first time I was admitted lol.</p>
<p>Just checked my status not even 5 minutes ago and I was accepted!</p>
<p>MeganFL, Congrats! and welcome to the Gator Nation.</p>
<p>MeganFL,
What was your major and your stats?</p>
<p>Thank you! I’m so excited!
florida1on1: I’m majoring in Nutritional Sciences at CALS, my overall gpa is 3.55 and pre-professional gpa is 4.0, coming from EFSC</p>
<p>Has anyone else signed up for orientation yet, when I try to it says,</p>
