What is the interview day experience like at UF?

 

[idaho_native]

Been to a couple II so far and still my favorite so far. Hands down the best Florida school.

What kind of activities do they have?

If you would like, I could PM you to talk about the interview!

What interview date was the last to get decisions? Just wondering about the timeframe between interviews and receiving decisions

Hey so for those of you who have been accepted, have you recieved any more information than in the acceptance email? I have not and want to be sure I'm not missing anything. I already paid the deposit and selected one of the confirmation. I was mainly wanting to know if anyone knew or had an idea of when we would be able to find about the aid information, or if they knew when second look would be?

I haven’t gotten anything yet either.

I haven’t gotten anything yet either.

Last year we have second look sometime around April 4/5/6, and that was when we were given our aid information as well. After the confirmation email and deposit, there is nothing left to do. You will find out about second look later (I think I got my email around end of November, maybe December).

Does anyone know if UF is receptive to pre-II letters of interest? UF's my top choice, but haven't heard back since I submitted in early August. 🙁

I haven't either 🙁 In the same boat. But on the UF application, they have space for you to submit an update, which seems like the more reasonable thing to do before a letter of interest.

This thread has been so quiet. Does anyone know until when UF sends out interviews? I've been complete since the first few days of August and silence ever since 🙁

Pretty sure they keep interviewing until next spring. Stay positive! I’ve talked to people that were complete early and interviewed in February

 

[piggles]

Has anyone who interviewed two weeks ago heard from admissions today?

 

[supsurfer]

Bump

 

[Combee29]

Accepted! Phone call from my interviewer a short time ago and I just got the official acceptance email.

Congrats! Interview date?

Guys I am wondering whether I should email them, on the portal my thing still says "application ready" what do you guys think?

thinking about the same thing. Mine has been complete since 8/1

 

[pBar]

Your status wont change unless you are offered an interview I believe. The "application ready" line seams to indicate that your application has everything required from your for the admission committee to review your application.

 

[jecki46]

Interviewed and accepted and my portal still says "application ready." Dont expect the status to change.

 

[Futureedoctorr]

DO you guys think its a good idea to email them though? I dont want to come across as too persistent but my app was complete on 7/20

You're application says what it's supposed to. I don't think there is a point in sending an email unless its an update letter with significant updates to your app.

Thanks so much for your input!

 

[Cheeezcake]

Did y'all receive complete emails? or does it say "complete" anywhere on the portal? Just noticed that all i can find is that I "submitted it". Does that mean I'm complete? plz help 🙁

You're fine. As long as you have everything submitted on the secondary portal, you are good to go. As long as there is a green check mark next to "App Complete" on the portal, you're fine.

Does anyone have any insight on how useful/helpful the pre-interview dinner is?

I really enjoyed it and learned a lot about the vibe of the school and the current students. It also helped me relax and I went into my interview day less stressed personally

I would highly recommend you go if you can. It was very relaxed and it was nice to get to know some of the students.

For anyone that has submitted application updates, if you're just using their text boxes and not uploading any additional documents, do you have to do anything other than click SAVE? I was expecting some kind of SUBMIT button...

 

[Pfcoolio14]

[lemon6767]

If you would like, I could PM you to talk about the interview!

That would be great!
