<p>My philosophy is "everything happens for a reason" and I was not even going to go to UF, so I believe in fate. I got into UW and would much rather go there, and just wanted to know if I would get into UF.</p>
<p>Rejected....ah well I was not interested in going to UF anyway.</p>
<p>UF is really ****ing me off. That is wrong to get 1300+/4.0+/30+ stats and not get into this school. I mean seriously, even with "affirmative action," their decisions are in some cases are unjustifiable. Being diagnosed with cancer and still maintaining high stats should be a hook in itself, but obviously UF is too stupid to realize that. Oh, and so far only 5 kids from my school have been rejected out of about 30. And we're stupid at our school. So many other people deserve other kids spots.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all who got in, but I'm certainly not going to apologize for raining on everyone's parade. No one can deny that simply overqualified students (even kids who would have been in honors college) were rejected, and they need a place to rant their anger.</p>
<p>haha, that's nothing. My friend got rejected with a 1240ish and a 5.3 Weighted GPA. And its funny, cause he WAS peruvian.</p>
<p>It seems purely random.</p>
<p>i just can't believe that someone with a 970 SAT got in.......WHAT IS THAT??? tHIS SCHOOL MAKES NO SENSE.,,,,,,</p>
<p>how do you get a 5.3 weighted gpa?</p>
<p>getting all A's in AP or IB classes</p>
<p>That still wouldn't be a 5.3.
5.0 max, but even lower considering that you won't be taking full 5.0 IB courses until your junior year.</p>
<p>its definately possible because i have slightly above a 5.0 with some B's on my transcript...and many dual enroll at local colleges which gives them extra credits and a chance at more 6.0 weighted grades</p>
<p>lol what's next? 12.0 gpa's! I think having a 5.0+ is a little ridiculous, and kinda unnecessary.</p>
<p>The valedictorian at my school had a 6.333 last semester.</p>
<p>hate it how schools do that. my valedictorian has a 4.3 i believe. cant get over 5.0</p>
<p>My school goes up to seven, its a full ib magnet...our valedictorian has about a 6.5</p>
<p>S rejected. 1400/1600 SAT, 32 ACT, 3.8 GPA, 4's on six AP exams, 4 more to take. Excellent EC's and rec letters. Thankfully, he's not disappointed at all. He'd already chosen school he felt would fit him better, liked that they'd given him merit money and honors admittance. He just wanted to be able to turn UF down ... LOL. So, since he's cool, I'm more than cool. As he's always told me, he's never bled blue and orange. </p>
<p>Congratulations to the rest of you, though! Have fun! :)</p>

<p>UF has a different grading scale than our school's GPA system. You may have a 4.4 weighted at your highschool but it may be lowered in UF's grading scale. newayz soo congrats to all those who got in!! see you in the fall =)</p>
<p>Apparently UF admissions is a mess. I'm not surprised though because its recruitment programs in the summer at segregated. I guess they never heard of Brown v. Board of Education. My mom has been a Democrat for 30 years and even she was kind of appalled by UF's politically-correct forms of discrimination.</p>
<p>Anyway, it seems like the office of admissions in generally is very sloppily run and this is the effect of that coupled with thousands of applications.</p>
<p>I got rejected! Yaaaaaaaaaaaayyy!!! XD, hahahahaha!!!</p>
<p>I was SO HAPPY when I found out yesterday! :) I have absolutely NO intention and no desire of going there anyways. Oh well :D No harsh feelings, haha!!! That $25.00 I paid for Housing was a freaking waste of money though! Grrr! Lol, I want my money back! ...could've used it for something else more useful.</p>
<p>Besides, I got accepted to a bunch of other AWESOME and nationally recognized schools anyways! So, got plenty of choices to choose from, GOOD schools too! :).</p>
<p>Why did I apply? Parents said so. Too bad I didn't get in! :) Better to leave that spot to a more deserving student who really wants to go there!</p>
<p>Congrats to those who got accepted!!! Have fun in UF!</p>
<p>alot of the ppl rejected from UF were accepted into Georgia Tech.</p>
<p>I applied to Georgia Tech (because parents said so) and got rejected! Another happy moment! :) :) :)</p>
<p>college18, where did you get into?</p>
