University of Florida CALS Applicants (Fall 2015) Transfers

I still have yet to hear back from Cals I applied to the biology preprofessional major.

Same and I applied to animal sciences. I feel like they haven’t even started looking at them yet. This is like ridiculous. I have to fibd a place to live… I cannot sign a lease until I know. I already had my immunization form filled out.

My son just got admitted today to CALS Horticulture/Organic Crop Production. He had around 3.5 GPA pre-prof, and AA from EFSC. It says he needs to complete BSC1011 (which he already did in the Spring and they got his transcript - so they are a little confused unless the record somehow did not get updated). I will try to keep posting whatever particulars we find out. Now we must wait to see if his girlfriend also got in (Forestry). Fingers crossed.

They really are painfully late to respond. If I did not live here already and if I were not confident in my application I would have chosen another university. I hope they accept my app. I have a 4.0 at Santa Fe and completed all pre-reqs last fall.

@2015CalsApp hey what major did you choose?

still nothing on my end…Im getting nervous.

@angioDAN I applied for the cals biology pre professional major. Med school is my goal.

How do you find out? by checking your status? or is it by mail?

Hello, I’ve been following this thread for a while, I’m transferring from Miami-Dade College into Animal Science and I’m currently in the same situation as some of you patiently waiting for a response from the college.
I went to Gainesville last weekend to try to speak with someone from the college and to make sure they had everything in order. Pretty much they told me that I just had to wait, but that if I had completed my AA by the summer and done all the pre-reqs I should be accepted. I’m already looking at houses and will probably sign a lease before they send me an acceptance letter lol They said to keep checking online everyday and that hopefully I’ll have an answer by July 15 (the last day to get accepted, I know they’re so terrible)

My son found out by checking his status online. No email from UF. No letter from UF yet. His girlfriend just got in Friday (checked online) to Forestry. So, the notifications are coming. They still know nothing about orientation or advisement/registration.

@cqmomee they have to sign up for a preview date. Which is transfer orientation. They’ll get their ID, they’ll be able to register for classes, abd they’ll get a tour of the campus.

I heard there is a preview on June 22

@FutureVet2017 Thanks, my son signed up for Monday’s Preview on June 22 and invited me along for Family Preview as a guest. His girlfriend can’t make it Monday and will do the next session in July, I think.

I was accepted today!!! Omg, I am ecstatic!!! Definitely worth the wait. I was going to apply to the june 22 preview but i felt that was too little of time to get all my requirements in before hand. So the director of student affairs put my name on the July list :slight_smile: For those who have not been accepted yet, they are going through applications everyday!! As long as you finished all the required prerequisites and your gpa is at least the minimum then please, you have nothing to worry about. I also met with the Dean of admissions for this college awhile back; she is super sweet and outgoing. Trust me! Start looking for a place to live. You shouldn’t have anything to worry about if you meet the requirements. Also, the preview dates are June 22, July 20, and Aug 10th or the 17th. But goodluck to all those who are still waiting. And for those who have been accepted, Welcome To the GatorNation!!! :smiley: YAYYY! I will follow up with everything that goes on for those still waiting to hear back. So y’all know what to expect :slight_smile:

@FutureVet2017
CONGRATS!!! I still haven’t heard back but hopefully this means I will soon!!

Thank you :slight_smile:

I was also accepted to the cals biology preprofessional. Initially I was rejected because I failed to explicitly communicate that I was earning my AA degree. After that was cleared up it took two days to get accepted.

Accepted yesterday! Go gators!!

Those accepted hurry to sign up for the July20th preview!!! I just think the August one is late… Congratulations to those. Welcome to the Gator Nation. WooHoo!!!

I’m still waiting :frowning: congratulations to all you of though! I hope they tell me soon…

What are your stats @PaoParVet
