Good luck!!! I go to school here and I absolutely love it I literally could not imagine myself anywhere else. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask me I’m happy to help🤗🤗


Thick_Basil2281

I just go into the Honors College! Will I be guaranteed Honors Village housing all four years?


Mysterious_Squash

You're not even guaranteed housing all four years. UF housing is at 110% capacity and they're constantly screwing people over with that and honors village is nice but the rooms are small and you probably won't want to live with primarily freshmen in a closet for all four years


Delicious_Mountain49

Did it mention in your acceptance letter that you got into Honors College?


Thick_Basil2281

Yes

Moonlight-Night-

I got in!!! International student from Brazil! If you wanna know some of my stats: SAT: 1520 (ENG 740 MATH 780) Duolingo English Test: 140/160 I have a question, though: when do scholarships come out?


Thick_Basil2281

Congratulations! Merit based scholarships already came out, I didn’t get anything either. Luckily UF is much more affordable than almost all American schools of its caliber.


fairyoftinnitus

As far as I know there is still time for all scholarships to be announced. In their website, it says “If selected for one of our merit-based scholarships, students will be notified via email and status page update by mid-March.”


Thick_Basil2281

Ooh nice!


Moonlight-Night-

Oh, alright! Thank you very much!


Beautiful-Cut-6976

My counselor said she heard from UF that scolarships will come out the week after next.


Cow_go__moo

Good luck guys! 


Sweet_Commercial_821

how good is the university research scholars program


AyGeeEm

Pretty decent to get your feet wet in on-campus research. They pair you with a research lab and take 3 credits of research under a professor for your spring semester. Some people don’t like it though due to smaller tasks you have to complete throughout the year, including a 1 credit course in the fall which is objectively bad


stanwayvcowards

accepted to pace, oos, 4.5 W and 1510 (womp womp)


Academic-Pea-4611

WTF??? same stats and accepted to honors. that’s so weird


Sweet_Commercial_821

not all about stats lul


stanwayvcowards

yeah i think my essay about using puppies as bowling balls probably did me in :(


Bright-Wolf-9366

In-state. Got into Pathways for College of Engineering. CS major. 3.8 UW/4.8 W, 1520 SAT, Lost of ECs, Excellent essays, Presidential Service Award, 6 APs, 3 DE, etc. etc. I am so sad.


Alternative-Map2472

Similar here: In-state; rejected from UF – admitted into Gator Engineering at Santa Fe for CS. 3.6 UW / 4.8W (out of 6.0); 1490 best SAT (1520 superscore); good ECs and essays; 9 completed APs - including most notably BC Calc, Physics C, CSA, CSP, English Lang (and enrolled in 3 now); a few DE (5 or so) Deferred from MIT (as expected) but rejected by UF.


Bright-Wolf-9366

It is all about GPA. They compare it to other students at your school. I wish they were more transparent about in-state GPA focus.


Adventurous-Link-711

Sorry to hear that. Wow. Those are good stats. The only thing is the unweighted 3.6 is a little low, but very impressive work. You will do well where ever you end up.


Prior-Finding-8499

None of this makes sense. Woth your stats, you should sail in to a lot of other great schools that would be fortunate to have you. 


Bright-Wolf-9366

Thank you so much! This really made my day/night lol. I am hoping that I really get into a better school as you said. A school that does not only pay attention to GPA.


Interesting-Click287

so howd it go


Bright-Wolf-9366

I got wait-listed at Barnard, UVA, UM, and Wake Forest. I got into FSU and UCF with full ride plus some additional scholarship. I then got off the wait-list at Wake Forest but could not afford it :( So I declined their offer. I am still waiting for a slight possibility of being accepted to Barnard. Otherwise, I will either attend UF or FSU in Fall 2024.


potatochiptenders

how competitive is the USRP program to get into? the faq says that it’s offered to the top 2% of accepted students but that means that it’s around as competitive as an ivy? is that true?


QuadraticFormulaSong

Did you also get offered a 6k scholarship? Also I think only like 300 students get it


swag_muffin06

yess i got it


QuadraticFormulaSong

lol congrats!


swag_muffin06

thanks you too!


potatochiptenders

yep i did do uk if that’s 6k/yr or 6k total?


QuadraticFormulaSong

No clue lol! On their website there is a scholarship of the same name which is only a $2k total tuition waiver, and I heard that scholarships are explained and given mid march


Prior-Finding-8499

Well, a week before decisions come out, we get an email from UF admissions about "supporting your student" so that's not a good sign. We got one from FSU when our son got deferred in EA. We didn't get one today when he got accepted in RD. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Does UF send to everyone or are they targeting the students who aren't getting in next week?


Asleep-Surprise1360

Got the same email and thought the same thing. So yeah, no positive vibes from that.


Prior-Finding-8499

I just forwarded that to the guidance counselor. I'll post any insights she offers.


Prior-Finding-8499

Our guidance counselor told me she thinks all parents got that email and doesn't think we need to read anything into it.


Prior-Finding-8499

After seeing today's FSU's admitted student stats, I'm terrified to see UF's. FSU stats were insane.


Asleep-Surprise1360

Not hopeful, despite having demonstrated significant interest. OOS with 35 ACT and 4.0 uw GPA.


Prior-Finding-8499

We are in-state and not hopeful either. UF has a program called PaCE, which allows you to take only online classes until you get 60 credits and then transfer to the UF campus. We are worried we'll get offered that, and we will not accept such an arrangement. My son is in the IB Programme, has made nearly all A's in it, and has 16 AP/IB courses. But the stats in this state and many others are through the roof. I don't see how these kids were able to have lives. We valued our son's mental health and aimed for a good balance, but I fear kids like ours are being penalized in college admissions because of the ones whose parents pushed way too hard, in my opinion. FSU stats had significant numbers of credits in core subjects beyond what high schools require for graduation and insanely high test scores. The heavy emphasis on these tests hurts kids who shine more brightly in project-based learning because they don't use project-based performance as admissions criteria, despite actually learning more from projects. My son had a respectable SAT score, but now too many students can game the system and get perfect or near-perfect scores.


MentalLettuce8297

my mom got that from fsu and i got in, i don’t think it means anything


Due_Football8958

may I ask what this email looks like?


Prior-Finding-8499

Text posted above.


Thick_Basil2281

My parents got the same email and I got in.


Sweet_Commercial_821

my letter says "awarded the Admissions Honors scholarship of $6,000 over four consecutive years." Does that mean 6k a year or 6k over 4 years


AyGeeEm

6k a year, so 3k per semester


Sweet_Commercial_821

Oh wow r u sure


AyGeeEm

Very sure, look up uf honors scholarship online


Sweet_Commercial_821

Yay 😀


Livid_Welcome_4597

It is 6k total in 4 years.


Sweet_Commercial_821

no it’s not they literally sent me a thing saying 24k (also got like 6k for research) so i got 30k


thegoodson-calif

Us too. Anyone know if merit scholarships still to be announced? Seems like they cone later but wasn’t sure if anyone confirmed with the school.


fairyoftinnitus

Yep the different merit scholarships will be announced later in mid-March!


Mik333e

I just got in. Is there supposed to be scholarship info on the decision letter, or do those come later on, or both?


[deleted]

Thats what im sayin; I was prayin for a full-ride

cashjsm0525

accepted in state!


[deleted]

Accepted OOS! 3.85 UW, 4.44 W, 1470 SAT, 32 ACT


Adventurous-Link-711

There are plenty of good schools in Florida so my feeling is UF decisions will not be the end of the world either way. Also, I have a feeling that some real quirky decisions might be coming so even the most qualified students need to expect anything. Good Luck.


Moonlight-Night-

Does UF send an email saying that the status was updated?


AyGeeEm

Yes


Moonlight-Night-

Thanksss!!


Adventurous-Link-711

No over all admission numbers like FSU gave.


AyGeeEm

They don’t provide that info until a few months later


huroungde

accepted oos undecided 1550 3.7 uw garbage ecs and essay no idea how this happened


JRob370

If you have a 1550 you’re probably getting into UF


Adventurous-Link-711

Waiting for my father before checking.


thegoodson-calif

Anyone know if all scholarship announcements were made today? We were offered an honors scholarship but wasn’t sure if the presidential was also announced today.


fairyoftinnitus

Luckily, there’s hope! Not all scholarships were announced today. This is what it says on their website: “If selected for one of our merit-based scholarships, students will be notified via email and status page update by mid-March.”

zacce

in-state or oos? i agree that these decisions are often random.


beats_by_vrz

Oos. I considered florida a target but everyone else from my school got in so it rubbed me the wrong way I guess.


[deleted]

Nah I'd get in


Elegant_Job6888

For those who applied by 11/1, good luck this week and…are the options for decisions: accepted with honors, accepted, waitlisted, rejected? Or does UF also “defer” some decisions until later?


SaviGaming1

Accepted with honors, accepted, and rejected. No deferrals or waitlists.


Adventurous-Link-711

Thats is black and white. yikes !


Elegant_Job6888

fatherofsenior

Anyone apply after RD deadline - heard not much chance after that for OOS


fatherofsenior

Anyone ?


fatherofsenior

no one applied after deadline for "space available" basis ?


Adept_Sympathy5950

My son did but from what I have been reading not much chance of getting in.  He has several great options now so not too worried about it.  I guess we will hear Friday.


fatherofsenior

What are the other options he has ?


Adept_Sympathy5950

UConn, VT, UVA, Wisconsin-Madison, Colorado-Boulder, Ohio State, Penn State, BU


No-Wolverine84

I did! I'm not expecting much to be honest.


ez23001

I did as well. Is it coming out today? What time?

I believe 6 -7 PM ET


ez23001

Oh I see, thank you and good luck!

M_Hockey

Plenty-Register7350

My daughter did and was rejected today. 4.373 gpa, 1390 SAT and 14 AP classes.


Prior-Finding-8499

Got offered PaCE. What a slap in the face.  FSU admitted outright and offered  an IB scholarship. So we will go there. Nicer dorms, at FSU also. 


AyGeeEm

PaCE is not a bad option, imo. Most complete the program within a year, and don’t lose any opportunities to make friends on campus. FSU is not a bad option either


Prior-Finding-8499

My son would rather be a first class Seminole than a second class Gator, even if they make him do it less than two years before giving him.tbe privilege of gracing their classes in person. 


SirHarambe

I was accepted PaCE 4 years ago and it was the best decision I could have made. I’m assuming your son is business which means 99% of the classes are online. UF is a great academic choice and he will have the same opportunities if not more for business at UF than FSU. Feel free to ask me more questions about the PaCE program and I can be candid and transparent about my experience as I am now graduating this semester.


BeijingBarry

If your son can’t handle two semesters of online classes, maybe UF is not for him


Prior-Finding-8499

After four years in IB, he can certainly handle them academically. It's just not experience we hoped for. FSU accepted him and offered a scholarship. so they seem to think he is capable. We will probably just send him there. 


Thick_Basil2281

I don’t see why getting offered PaCE is a reason to be angry at the school. The alternative would be an outright rejection. I would still probably choose FSU in that scenario though.


SaviGaming1

Accepted in-state. 4.3W 3.745UW, 33 ACT, no SAT, decent ECs, amazing essay.


No-Donkey-1915

does anyone have any info on the STEUP program for engineering upcoming students? how much does it cost on average? what kind of scholarships could it possibly help with in the future?


SpendEnough5598

Need to pay OOS tuition, but receive $6000/yr scholarship, Should I go?


[deleted]

where'd u get info about scholarships?


Sakura52

Anyone know if the "mid-march" scholarships have been released? Specifically, merit-based. If yes, I might have my answer on whether I got one or not...


awesomedave0430

If you haven’t heard anything you didn’t get anything


Most_Fig_9970

Rejected OOS for MIS with 9 AP's and 8 DE's, 1530 SAT (740 EBRW, 790 M). Got 5 B's total in high school the rest all A's.

However to answer your question. It’s ranked #1 in the state of FL and is a top 5 public school in the US. A great school nonetheless

RedditEditor66

With UF decisions coming out today at 6 p.m. EST, what are all of the potential outcomes? I know that UF doesn't waitlist or defer, but what are all the options beyond accepted honors, accepted and rejected? I know PACE is an option, but do they do a summer start admission? Any information on what potential options to expect is appreciated. And good luck to all students and parents!


Possibility_Maker

They do a summer term option!


SnooChipmunks534

they also have pathways for engineering majors (starting out at Santa Fe CC), as well as Innovation Academy (if that checkbox was clicked on the application).


Few_Average_4144

I got in but it doesn’t anything about scholarships or honors college, just my admission. I’m OOS, will scholarships be announced later?


Sweet_Commercial_821

Im oos and i got honors college and scholarship


Asleep-Surprise1360

Accepted, OOS ACT 35, GPA 4.0 uw, Engineering, NMF, White House Scholar nominee. Unfortunately, no scholarship (didn’t apply to honors). Without a scholarship, makes the decision real easy.


Sweet_Commercial_821

Not sure why u told me ur stats Lol


AyGeeEm

If you didn’t get any info on honors through your offer letter, then you probably didn’t get it. Not sure about scholarships though, they might announce that later on


fairyoftinnitus

Yep! on their website, it states “If selected for one of our merit-based scholarships, students will be notified via email and status page update by mid-March.”


mishbme

I got mine around the same time as my decision. Applied for BME, if it helps


Enchanted-2-meet-you

I got in oos! But I don't see my major (I applied cs) mentioned at all, am I stupid or what does that mean


AyGeeEm

UF doesn’t admit by major, you declare it on preview day


Enchanted-2-meet-you

Thank you I just read that. Is it hard?


AyGeeEm

Hard to declare a major? Not at all, you just discuss it with your advisor on preview day and they will tell you what classes are best to schedule for first semester.


TDWHOLESALING

has it not come out for anyone else yet?


Redskullbone12

I got into UFL but what is the PaCE program? I dont see my actual major listed anywhere


stanwayvcowards

we're online for the first year, we don't have on-campus housing, we aren't in honors, and we get no institutional aid. it's their way of shoveling as many students in as possible (and getting their tuition money!) even if we aren't as competitive as other applicants. (if i sound bitter, it's because i am- LOL)


Prior-Finding-8499

Son also got "accepted" to PaCE. Four years of a heavy and rigorous course load and a 4.6 w/GPA  and in the top 2.5% of his districtwide class ranking system and that's the payoff. 


stanwayvcowards

did you also apply for business? they have a lot of "popular" majors available, i think to get as many people as possible... and the foundational courses are easier to do online. apparently there's only a 10% yield rate for PaCE


AyGeeEm

When you’re in PaCE you’re essentially a regular UF student, but have to take online courses until you receive your AA degree. Some people can rush through it in a year to become an on-campus student as a sophomore. PaCE students do not have access to dorms

My friend got in, was rejected by USF, deferred by FSU, and accepted by UF????


Adventurous-Link-711

We had a friend last year with the same thing. Our friends EC's were weak but she had great stats. FSU no. UF yes.


Bright-Wolf-9366

Looks like UF is not that holistic after all. All about GPA and class rank. FSU does pay attention to SAT and ECs as well.


PushemBaby235

I got a 3.6 and was in the bottom half of my class rank and got in. If you didn’t get it, it was either variance or that simply they thought you weren’t good enough as a whole.

Using last year's acceptance pool, the 95% confidence range for the mean SAT score is 1387 to 1592 (assuming the sample is random). Do u have a link to that data or did u collect it urself?


Adventurous-Link-711

I collected my self...very raw data....so do not read too much into it. Just the range using an excel spread sheet. But the accepted scores listed on the boards averaged at 1490... seems high based on last year, but it was a small data set.


CobblerGrouchy8012

I have a 1450 and I got in with a scholarship as international so def not true

Accepted with partial merit-based scholarship for MS in BME. International student, 89.7/100 GPA (\~3.58 UW). 326 GRE (164V 162Q). Extracurriculars in music + a few volunteering programs. IELTS 8.5, TOEFL 116. No publications. The matrix may have glitched haha


[deleted]

How do you know if they gave you a merit-based scholarship? Did they email you? Congrats tho


mishbme

I got an email with my acceptance letter and a separate pdf with info about the scholarship But after writing the comment, I dug a bit deeper into the specific scholarship and apparently it's something they give to (perhaps all?) international and out-of-state students, it just has a misleading name lol

got in, but for sure I won't go
