How often do interviews take place? And does UF interview high GPA/high MCAT students earlier in the cycle?

Any news for what time decisions will be going out?

On 10/20, I saw posts here from around 430pm saying their interviewers called. I never received a call, but got the decision via email at around 730pm.

I am a low stats applicant and was interviewed almost immediately. I think they know what they want in a low stats applicant so they’re pretty quick with it.

CONGRATS Y'ALL FOR THE As! Excited to potentially be working alongside you next year :) and to those who received WLs today, it's not an end all be all, maybe it just wasn't the best fit, but you'll find someplace that fits your needs!

And I think there will be a large amount of WL movement this year. So hang in there.

Does anyone know if it's an R at this point since they're interviewing people that applied later than me? 514/3.8 complete 9/1

No way, they’ll interview until the cycle is over! They’re just interviewing the most competitive applicants that have applied at this point, regardless of when they applied

Nah, though you should also upload it on the portal to save them the trouble of having to do it. That is what I was recommended when I submitted an update to my transcripts in August (after emailing them).

Their staff is too kind to say "wow he can't follow directions," that sounds more to me like the USF admin LOL.

Sorry this post was so long ago, but just looking in terms of submitting a LOI now...would you recommend sending an email with the LOI to the admissions office as well as uploading it to the portal?
 
How much of the class has already been filled? And does UF prioritize high GPA compared to other FL schools ?

I think if you submit an update, it is best to send it via the portal if you have not sent it yet. If you want to be double sure, maybe call or email to make sure they received it. :)

If you go to their Instagram page for may 17 2019 it shows a breakdown of the class of 2019 who graduated last year and it does look like about half of the students got some type of undergraduate degree from UF. So I’m guessing yes? Most students have some tie to Florida at the very least even if they didn’t go to a Florida school, but it is possible to get into UF with no Florida ties

I have very similar stats, submitted at the end of July, and got my interview invite 4 weeks ago. I'm not sure of the rhyme or reason to their order but I would absolutely not worry about it being an R at this point, don't stress!
 
They sent an email about a likely FB page for admitted students, no ones gotten anything regarding this right?

Did number of apps go up significantly from last years cycle ?

Yes, according to AAMC and also other SDN forum threads - there are more applicants as well as more applications per applicant.

Yeah I had that but couldn’t make out the signature
 
Confused on updates... should I type it into the boxes or upload my letter??
 
Did UF accepted people get a package in the mail today? I am out of town, some package shows as delivered from Gainesville. Not sure if it is from UF

also confused. I formatted a nice PDF for my update letter like for most other schools but it would definitely fall under the "extracurricular" box. not sure the best way to proceed

Any recommendations on how to type in grade updates for the semester? Like do I attempt to make it into sentence form? Or just say "My grade for the fall semester were: A X class (3 hours), ? Probably doesn't matter anyway, but curious if anyone has done so and had advice

Edit: Or maybe would it be best to just attach my updated transcript and not type anything? not sure what they want

I uploaded a PDF of my unofficial transcripts to the portal and later emailed them (including the grade) to confirm they received it.

Didn't ask, but have the option, so figured it can't hurt. I had significant activity updates I added in early October and still nothing, and OOS, so trying to show some interest as its my dream school (like many other OOS I'm sure though). Had a great semester, doesn't change my GPA though, still LM 73/4, so I guess its not significant but just keeping them in the loop

On the admitted page of the portal, I noticed you can list the other schools you’ve been accepted to. Is there any drawback to naming the other schools? I’m assuming if they’re more prestigious schools they may offer more scholarship?

Well they did write on the acceptance email to let them know if you are choosing some place else due to better scholarship. Not sure about this page. Will be good if some current students answer this
