Get it yet? I received my mail today in Clearwater at a smidge before noon. Certified.
Accepted to the DVM and the MPH programs; I have already sent in my acceptance forms.
See you in the fall, aggiedonk - one equid fan to another.
I missed the mailman, but know I've a certified letter to pick up tomorrow.
Safe to celebrate?

Can't you go pick it up today? Post offices don't usually close until 4 or 5pm.
No. It's still on the truck making its route apparently. I suppose I could give it a whirl.
I would say so. I am on the alternate list and my letter was NOT certified. Congratulations!!
Bingo. Just got it. I'm in.
Thank you.
Thank you.

yes. that is correct.
I will be reapplying next year. I will schedule a meeting with UF, and then UGA to see where my best chances are. I bet it's not with UF. I did every single thing they told me to do last year....why should I trust this year will be different, ESPECIALLY since I intially did everything they told me to and still did not orignially get an invite to even interview? I'm wasting my time.
In the meantime, my dad was pulled off the ventillator today and will pass soon. Last year, it was my grandma, this year my dad. I guess it puts things in perspective.
I WILL be a vet. I just know it wont be going through UF. I'm pretty sure I'm moving to Georgia. Thanks everybody for all your well wishes and threats 😀 to the specific schools.
I fele like I'm an old maid, and the husband has an affair with a younger woman and thinks "how do I can I compete with 21"?? UF is for me the younger woman. I'll never get in.

Then we are almost the same person. My husband thinks the same exact thing too. I know it's better to go down there in person for the post analysis, but I really don't want to take another day off work to pay $60 in gas to drive down there when I think I won't make a bit of difference.
I remember the dean saying they initially accept many over their actual capacity. Also, that they keep a very small (in-state only) wait-list that historically has had many if not all eventually accepted. He mentioned last year as a year when very few, if any, got in from the wait-list.
Housing - good luck. I went apartment hunting last week, and finding a decent 1B/1B apt that leased in May was quite time consuming. Every single apartment complex is now leasing, so just chuck yourself into the fray and you'll find something sooner or later. I had mine narrowed down to The Polos and The Laurels, finally settling on the latter.
Summer classes - good luck. Even after you fill out all the forms, talk to all the people (dean of Ag., Infirmary people, registrar, etc.), they tell you that you are not allowed to register for classes until the first day of classes. I was supposed to have received an e-mail from the registrar for further information, but haven't received anything in almost two weeks. I guess I'm still waiting on that.
Theres great brand new apartments are The Enclave. They take pets, are on a road that has a great bus route to UF, and is 1149 for a 2/2.

Also the Polos, Laurels, Gainesville Place, and the Estates are all great.

Although these places might be great and fairly cheap, remember that they are mostly undergrad residences. Consider this before signing, as Gainesville is an especially notorious party place...
I lived in Gainesville for 5 years and the best place to live that I found to get away from all the partying that goes on there is the Reserve @ Kanapaha. The community is made up of families and graduate students. They accept pets of any shape and size. Draw back... there is no bus route. However, as a graduate student you are able to get a parking pass to campus and since vet students have to be there so early anyway there should not be too much of a problem to get parking. Also... beware of those new places that are shooting up in less than a couple of months. It may be new but they are going to shoot up the rent compared to the more established complexes and the construction is crappy. Paradigm properties owns about 60% of the complexes in Gainesville and have pretty reasonable prices but again there are massive parties since mostly undergraduates live there. GOOD LUCK!
