<p>Even UF's Steve Orlando made a direct comment about "Gatorboy"!!!</p>

<p>Anxiety is magnified in Gainesville because UF is one of the toughest public universities to get into in America and it waits to tell applicants all at once whether they made it or not, posting online at 6 tonight.</p>

<p>For a few minutes on Wednesday, UF's admissions office accidentally posted partial results, which briefly electrified the talk.collegeconfidential.com chat site, where nervous applicants can stress and commiserate among their peers.</p>

<p>A Gator wanna-be nicknamed "gatorboy" was logged onto the UF page when his name popped up.</p>

<p>"I thought it was supposed to be on the 13th," gatorboy crowed, "but whatever. I GOT IN!!! YAY this is the best day EVER!!!!!!!!!"</p>

<p>"Yes, that really did happen," Steve Orlando, director of the UF News Bureau, said Thursday. "We shut it down as soon as we found out what happened, but gatorboy got lucky. It really feeds the level of anxiety."</p>

<p>Man, and I'm the one who tipped him off and called UF who was unaware. Gosh I hope the decisions we saw are the same ones we see at 6:00.</p>

<p>Why do you assume I'm a woman troll?</p>

<p>that's the socially acceptable way to make assumptions... if I assume you are a man, that's sexism, otherwise I have to write he/she. I'd prefer one pronoun. can't believe I have to defend this.... sheesh</p>
