Was complete back in early August, but still no II. This was my dream school, but my mcat was low. Not completely surprised but still very disappointed lol

Do you know if this school accepts "in the area" emails? I am from FL but go to school out of state.[/QUOTE]Current student here. Congrats to all who have been accepted so far and best of luck to everyone still waiting. If there are any questions about the school, feel free to send a message
We've heard the good. Lol. What's the biggest flaw?[/QUOTE]Do you know if this school accepts "in the area" emails? I am from FL but go to school out of state.

Reading into it lol, I think everyone gets the same emailGot an email (the one with the picture) post interview stating they hope to see me again soon. Does this mean anything or am I reading too much into this?
agree with diene_daily. Everyone gets the email with the pic after their interview.Got an email (the one with the picture) post interview stating they hope to see me again soon. Does this mean anything or am I reading too much into this?
So I know that this is pretty impossible to know for sure, but how is waitlist movement here generally? I want to know if I’m wasting a letter of intent by sending one here
On a Sunday? That's some dedication right thereII! Complete 7/29
I thought I had zero chance when I sent this app in
I mean Saturday lolol my bOn a Sunday? That's some dedication right there

II this morning. I'm in state but I've kinda already run out of money flying to interviews from Hawaii. I'm in Hawaii because I'm a military dependent.
Put plane tix on a credit card? What do you think?
What did you like best about Florida?Coming from someone who wasn't very interested in UF prior to getting an interview, UF absolutely blew me away. If you want to stay in Florida, I'm not sure you can do better. It's the highest ranked school in Florida (if that means something to you) and the in state tuition is pretty cheap (although if you're planning on doing the military scholarship this probably doesn't matter). I think if you are already accepted somewhere else, only go if you would strongly consider Florida over your current acceptance. If you're not accepted somewhere, then run that CC bill up. It's gonna be much cheaper in the long run to buy that plane ticket now than lose out on a year of income as an attending because you didn't get accepted.
I'd like to second what my buddy said here. UF easily becomes people's top choices even when it wasn't on their radar.Coming from someone who wasn't very interested in UF prior to getting an interview, UF absolutely blew me away.

I’ll third it, they really blow you away on interview day. I actually was in your situation in regard to deciding whether or not to go to mine and I’m very glad I did.I'd like to second what my buddy said here. UF easily becomes people's top choices even when it wasn't on their radar.

+5 You seriously won't regret it. This was my first interview and I felt spoiled as I couldn't help but constantly compare other schools to my experience here
The culture. Interview day had the same vibe that the UF secondary did, and Dr Lynch goes to a lot of effort to demonstrate that the core value at UF is caring about others. Every school talks about how they care about their students, but UF really showed it. From the phone call for an interview from the director of admissions, to the selection of an interviewer that you shared something in common with, to the lunch with the entire class (and not just the student ambassadors) who all seemed very excited to be there and were extremely welcoming. I could go on and on. I even had a student contact me privately out of the blue just to answer any questions I might have after the interview. UF also has a very strong alumni base, and I suspect this culture throughout med school has a lot to do with it.What did you like best about Florida?
I’ve been accepted at other schools but UF is gonna be my only in state school if I get in. People are telling me that it doesn’t matter where I go, so go with the cheapest option. Man, I wish I got this interview as one of my earlier ones.

Guys please stop talking up UF I’m really trying to get off the waitlist here...
Wow. I’ll try to find the money to interview. I’m in Hawai’i that’s why flying up is going to be very expensive. I’m still a Florida resident because I’m a military spouse.The culture.

There are other reasons I like the school as well, and you can PM me if you want to talk about it more, but that was probably the biggest thing that drew me to UF and the most unique compared to the other schools I interviewed at.

Thank you. I'll look into those options now.^Not as convenient, but flying into Orlando (~2-2.5 hrs away) might be a lot cheaper. You can take a shuttle up from there. Tampa (around 2-2.5 hrs) and Jacksonville (1.5-2 hrs) are also options. All 3 are likely to be less expensive than flying directly to/from Gainesville
In your same situation, about to collapse x_xFor those who have already heard back post interview, what time did you get your email/call? Next wave goes out today and I am NERVOUS!
My call was around 2-3p if I remember right, but it totally depends on your specific interviewers. The email didn’t come until 7-8p. Good luck!!!In your same situation, about to collapse x_x
My friend who has an lz score of 76 just got his acceptance!For those who have already heard back post interview, what time did you get your email/call? Next wave goes out today and I am NERVOUS!
Awesome, good for them!! Through call or email?My friend who has an lz score of 76 just got his acceptance!
It was an email from the interviewerAwesome, good for them!! Through call or email?
I don't believe so. They mentioned that the fast turnaround was due to the offices closing soon for the holidays, but maybe!do you think they will continue to send interview invites out in December for January?
