<p>@floridadad55 and everyone else against this admission decision: I am outraged by the selfishness and lack of respect in this forum, how can someone just say that he doesn’t deserve an admission? How you dare to call someone mediocre based on quantitative data only without even knowing this person? He was admitted PERIOD! The fact that someone “hard working disadvantaged URM kid” didn’t get admitted it is not our problem, don’t tell me now that life is fair. When I mean random -and that is not even the right word- I mean HOLISTIC, we take MANY factors into consideration and some people just rely on numbers, well, we are not Harvard. I have seen BRILLIANT students with great admission stats throw everything away in frat parties and by thinking they know everything. Sometimes when one sees something as a whole it makes it completely different and UF might have seen a this student as a good fit for the university community. GET OVER IT!</p>
