2018-2019 University of Florida

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Been stalking this thread for a while now but just wanted to say so excited for all of you! 🙂 Regardless if you were waitlisted or accepted I have faith if you got an interview some school out there is a great fit for you! Could also just be me being optimistic but I've been taking too many Ls this semester so trying to change my outlook. 🤣
 
Super early and random question-- does anyone know when orientation would start here/when it's been historically?

I believe in the first or second week of August. Atleast 2 weeks before the undergraduate fall semester begins is a good timeline to follow!

Last week in July/very beginning of August. It was 8/1-8/3 this year.
 
So sad I haven't received an interview from here yet 🙁

In state, 3.95 GPA, MCAT 519, complete 8/15

similar stats and also in-state, got one over 2 months after submitting. I think you will get one soon!
 
When would be an appropriate time to send a letter of intent (if other acceptances are on hand)? I was thinking December, as I know they do take into account continued interest. It’s definitely my top choice for many reasons!

Also does WL movement only happen in the summer or do some schools do it throughout the cycle?

I would maybe use some updates lol then drop that loi
 
I don’t think I’d have any significant updates since I already told them what I’d be doing during my gap year (working mostly)
If you have acceptances and feel confident that they "compare" to UF, go ahead and send that Letter over. That's my take but Idk u do u

Unless I get an interview to a couple specific schools I haven’t heard back from yet, I’m also planning on sending a LOI to UF. I personally will not send it until next year (around March) because I think they strongly implied they won’t look to the waitlist until their interview season is over. Also, I don’t want to look desperate by sending a LOI too early and I want to maximize the number of acceptances I have in hand prior to reaching out. I’m sure for UF most waitlist movement probably won’t happen until April/May since it’s the state flagship 🙁
 
Is there any waitlist movement here? I know they dont interview that many people but msar has no WL info
On our interview day they said there def was! They said if you got waitlisted to be active - write updates, letters of intent if you were serious about them, etc. Good luck!
 
Ok so excited! Like this post if you for sure know you're coming here to the lovely UF (like secured your spot for next year?)

Where you accepted on 10/30? Have you gotten the next steps email already?
 
Anyone else having trouble accessing the portal?
 
Does anyone know if this school accepts "in the area" emails? I am from FL but go to school out of state so I figured Id let them know when I was going to be home...? I have a 3.94 with a 510 mcat and submitted late July and still no word from the school. Does anyone know when they stop sending out interview invites?
