<p>Okay, All I have to say is that
I WAS DEFFERRED!!!
Who else was?
and do we have a chance of getting in at all</p>
<p>could you possibly post your stats?</p>
<p>My stats?
26 Act 4.54 weighted high school GPA 3.8 unweighted 1190 SAT
Summer B
My dad's an alumni
I am an officer of 4 clubs and in a total of 8 clubs
Laureate Diploma Canidate
instate</p>
<p>Now....why didn't I get in? I have no idea...maybe I am just unlucky
Or maybe I will February guys!</p>
<p>maybe I was the only one deferred....</p>
<p>naw. out of my private school's 11 applicants, i was the only one accepted. i dont say that out of bragging because its kids i grew up with that i really think deserved to get in. so your not alone</p>
<p>i know what you mean, the depression of my friends not getting in almost kills the excitement of me getting in...</p>
<p>No... I meant in the forums....
What were your friends stats?
How can I get in?
Is it possible for me to get in?</p>
<p>I keep telling people the legacy (alumni) factor doesnt help that much anymore unless you family is really rich and can donate to the university. They just have way too many applicant that have family that went to consider that important. </p>
<p>Other than that from looking at your stats, you should be able to get in RD.</p>
<p>Thank you so much!</p>
<p>legacy really does matter
many people who got in with just high gpa's and huigh sat scores because their brother/sister/mother /father went there</p>
<p>My friend from IB school with a 4.4 recalculated GPA and 1280 SAT score got rejection. He knows a slew of people with 1300s+ who got rejected.</p>
<p>From last year, I can tell you many qualified candidates were rejected by UF and ended up very happy with alternative schools. In most cases, the alternative schools offered more honors and scholarship opportunities for them. In some cases, the students were accepted at higher ranked universities like Penn State and UNC Chapel Hill for example. Some students choose to do the SFCC route, which seems ridiculous to me if you don't live in Gainesville, but never the less it is an option for transfer to UF after you have your associates degree. You can also try to appeal to admissions and try to get in like some kids we know who ended up in Summer session.</p>
<p>I am sorry for your disappointment but I would rather be out right rejected than dragged on with deferment all year only to later be rejected. If the UF path is closed, move on and take a new path that is presenting to you. You may open your eyes to a whole new possibility which will end up being a much better fit for you.</p>
<p>I refuse to give up...
I am going to keep trying to the very end
I also WANTED to go Summer B
I know people who got in who aren't as qualified as I am so I refuse to give in untill I get the second rejection letter
Why should I...my only other choice is UCF(already accepted)....I don't want to really go to New College they won't give me my 32 Ap hours worth of credits(UF only gives you 30)
Thank you all for your help!</p>
<p>Applying Summer B is kinda of a double edged sword though. When the admisson officers came to my school he said, if you apply Summer B you better want to go to summer school because if you do so you are ONLY being considered for Summer and that could hurt you maybe. If you aplied fall you could have possibly been reconsidered for summer. And he also said that it didnt give you any advantage applying then because they are all competitive.</p>
<p>They have a right to. I would do the same thing If I were rejected. Its their future, I would be mad as well. But in the end, the admissions process is so random. Some people who got in, I believed shouldn't of. And some people who didnt, I believe should of.</p>
<p>Admissions should be based solely on merit.</p>
<p>i agree lansing..
im so dissapointed
i cant express
its like seriosuly everything is shattered
i keep asking myself wat i could have done better
my friend told me to appeal it but im like ok i dont know if it will help
some people even on here talking about their friends getting in with 2/8 uw gpa's kills me. Whats even worse is wen i told all my friends that i didnt get in they were like " liar..ur such a liar". they all thought i was kidding. idk i keep thinking it wasnt meant to be..but i cant earse the fact that i feel cheated out of a chance. I wasnt deffered and at times i feel i simply wasnt good enough. Isee people posting on Facebook " class of 2011....GO GATORS!" and it kills me because they party all weekeend..get drunk...smoke **** and they are going to the school i have working for my entire life. IT JUST ISNT FAIR!!!
ive given my all..done all i can..but i still feel like i have some fight left in me...til the end!</p>
<p>sorry if that post was kind of a vent i was ranting...ive ben crying over it constantly...ugh! also...i reaaaaaaaaaaaaallly want to do summer B. y cant they give ed applicants an edge over Regular Decision ?</p>
<p>Coffeecrazy..I totally feel for you...
but guess what?
If we go to Central Florida we won't be with such a hard and ruthless school schedule...If u of f is sooo hard to get into. Everyone must be pretty smart there It's going to be harder to get the A in a class because all grades are curved. If we go to an easier school we will not have to stress as much.</p>
<p>G-U-NOT
it DOESNT have all the amenties of UF
but who cares?
It's called TV
I love it,you can dig it
So what if the mascot is a pegasus/knight
Gators=dragons (sort of)
Knights kill dragons
you see..it isn't so bad
if you think of it that way it isnt so bad
besides aren't we going to school for EDUCATION not to go to some football game</p>
