That is very rude. My son is not “mediocre”. I am very proud of his acceptances to Ohio State, NC State, Penn State, etc. computer engineering programs.

I think merit will be out today. On my one.uf portal: “The Campus Finances (Bursar) system is down for maintenance between the hours of 8am and 12pm today. Please try again after 12pm.”
… maybe updating the information?

I was rejected last week. I am definitely planning on appealing. Does anyone know in the event they were to accept me, is it more likely that I’ll be accepted for PaCE or Summer B? Thank you!
I only have anecdotal information, but I know several that successfully appealed over the years and all were offered Fall. I supposed that anything is possible, but that is what I have seen.
Here is the appeal info. It seems like they are very tough on appeals.
Frpm the Website:
Information Not Considered:
- Appeals written by someone other than the applicant
- Test scores received after the decision was released
- Mid-year senior grades
- Additional activities, honors, or awards earned after applying
- Interviews or meeting with admissions staff in person
- A strong desire to attend the University of Florida
Will merit scholarships be communicated through the admissions portal? D liked both UF and FSU, but got the OOS waiver for FSU already, so merit (or no merit) from UF will be a factor in her decision. I’m so ready for her to be done with all the waiting and be able to start planning for next year!
Yes, last year my son received an email telling him to check the admissions portal for a merit award. The award was detailed on the admissions portal.

Anyone else planning to visit this weekend? We will be up from Miami on Sunday and early Monday if anyone else plans to visit. Maybe the “kids” can hook up. I have a son who is admitted freshman… going to look around and show him the campus
Visiting with daughter next Wednesday, 3/10 - from Georgia.
We will just miss you.
Does anyone know if we will be getting portal updates regarding merit scholarship today? Or will we have to wait until it arrives in the mail?
Where did you see this?
@laritar Seven days ago, on posting # 643, Melissa96, who works at UF, posted that merit scholarships would be out in about one week. If that is correct, it should be today.

@Melissa96 it looks like last year the financial aid was out on 3/13 which was a Friday based on this FB post of class of 2024
Will it be safe to assume that it this year will be on the 12th or the 15th?
TIA

Does financial aid include merit scholarships or are the two separate?
Merit should come out today and financial aid, next Friday

Just attended a UF accepted students presentation and financial aid (merit and need) is not coming out today! AOs stated that it’ll be out by mid-March, so the 15th is probably accurate.
