What is up, everybody? I saw ChemObsessed’s thread for students who were accepted/rejected for the Summer/Fall of 2015. However, there are probably other students, like myself, who have been offered admission for an alternate term. I applied in January 2015 to try to gain a spot in the Summer 2015 term. However, I was deferred a month later and had to send the school updated high school transcripts, teacher letter of recommendations, and had to play the waiting game. I just received my admittance packet today and am stoked to be offered an admission spot at the University of South Florida. It may not be the desired term I had wanted, but nonetheless an admission spot. This option gives me the opportunity to take a few classes at Hillsborough Community College (no more than 11 credits as stated on the letter of admittance), establishing a small financial career, and not have a lot of stress on my back. I am also eligible to participate in USF’s HOT (Herd of Thunder) Band since i am a band geek from Bloomingdale High School and plan on attending a nearby college close to USF. Well that’s enough about me for the most part. I would like to see what credentials you’ve been accepted as I’'l use ChemObsessed’s format on a previous thread he made. Many thanks to him and good luck to everyone who got in! I hope your experience at the university will be a great one!
