What do we wear to second look events?
are interviews done here?
This Friday is the last day of interviews, so my understanding is that invites are not being sent out any longer.
Finally rejected...
Good times.
Good times.
Rejected. Feels bad, man...

One of the only schools out of state I was hoping to get into, but rejected yesterday. Oh well, there's always residency right?
Decisions coming out for last two interview days today I think
If it's like last year, you will wear formal attire to the Friday evening event. For Saturday we wore business casual.
If you have questions on specifics let me know!

I'm very interested in UF and I intend to apply this year. I don't know if this is the appropriate place, but does anyone have any additional information about UF, good or bad?
I'm a student here, so I can answer any specific questions you may have.
You could send a Letter of Intent. You can find good resources to write one on SDN or /r/premed. The admissions office loves to know applicants are still interested in the program!
When do accepted students planning to enroll get their .edu emails?
Sometime in the Summer before matriculation. I got mine in late May.
Did you email or use the application portal?Waitlisted since October & just submitted a LOI - here goes nothing
Direct email since there wasn't exactly an appropriate tab on the secondary portal!
Where do we send an update letter to and a letter of intent to?
I did updates through the portal. There's a little tab for application updates.
Idk who could accurately answer this question..
I would just do both. And let them know u did in the email. Why not?

It was great seeing many of you at Second Look today. Hope to see you there in the Fall!
I wasn't able to make it, but would you or anyone else who attended be able to give their impression/a summary of how it went?
I'm one of the med students so any answer I give you will be biased... but it was awesome and I loved it! Can't imagine being anywhere else.

I'm applying here this May and I have a quick question: I did a Summer program at UF in 2016 and I'm wondering how this may help my future application. I know having done a Summer program won't get me in one its own but I fell in love with the school/area and could see myself attending, if possible. Would conveying my interest based on one Summer program be beneficial and how do I go about doing this? I formed a pretty good relationship with a program director (read: not in medicine, but related) and I'm wondering how this networking may be beneficial?
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!
I'd suggest incorporating this into your secondary application for UF when you eventually work on it. There's a prompt asking you for any additional information that the committee should know in considering your application.
I agree on its own, just one Summer program at UF won't be sufficient. If you can be specific and a tiny bit anecdotal to what aspects of UF (and not necessarily other med schools) really won you over, then it can help convey why you really like the school. Best of luck!
Does anyone know where to find the GatorLink username or email? The email is needed for the forms due 6/1.

Dr. Rarey is brilliant. He's probably among every student's favorite professors at the COM, if not THE favorite.
Don't worry, I'm also going insane from the silence.
I've heard anecdotally that the class is over-accepted at this point. If I had to theorize, I wouldn't expect much waitlist movement this year. I heard the waitlist was fairly stagnant last year too.
