Apartments start leasing like a year in advance here, so people start applying in September, which is insane, but you should be okay to find housing if you start looking now for places you might like, and then once you hear back from UF you apply. Realistically, you could definitely find housing in July and even August, it might just not be your top choice.
Thanks I appreciate your response! Happy I learned about that now and not in June 😂😂
Follow up question: Does anyone have experience with housing/dorms through UF? What are pros/cons of renting independently vs living at the UF graduate housing?
I didn’t start looking until after I was accepted so like early April for my class and there was still plenty of availability
I don't have any experience with either since I applied this cycle but according to the website grad housing has a wait of at least a year
Had a friend in another graduate program living in graduate housing. That lasted about 1 year because it was … scary. But that’s just one place and my only experience.
Did they elaborate on what they meant by scary?
It was just in an area of town where there is the most crime and the building was definitely not up to code.
Oh ok. Thank you!
Girl I’m dying. Anxiety everyday and (TMI) I’m going to the bathroom like every hour from the stress 😂 BUT IM SURVIVING
I may have missed this on another post, but does anyone know when acceptances/rejections are coming? Thank you!
In my interview, they said the end of February
If she told you to do this, I don’t think you overstepped. I will say a lot of faculty can be a pain to reach over email (when they’re not teaching a course), especially when they’re off of clinics.
As someone who interviews applicants for externship programs, if you send me an email and said thank you and didn’t ask any questions, I absolutely wouldn’t reply to a simple thank you email. What would you want them to say? Thanks for your thanks? I suppose maybe they could say “you’re welcome” but is that worth their time? If they did reply do you reply to them again? Like where does it stop? Why can’t you saying thanks be the end? If you asked a specific question, it’s very likely that they just haven’t seen it or not had a chance to reply. I know admissions are super important to you and any person who cares enough to volunteer for an admissions committee has an interest in it, but at the end of the day, most faculty members have hundreds of people wanting/needing their attention and admissions stuff is always going to fall lower down the list than patients, current students, your administrative tasks, research needs, etc. People care, but there are only so many hours in the day, and sometimes certain things have to give.
Hi! I feel you about the anxiety! During my interview they said decisions would be going out toward the end of this month, but they didn't give a specific date. My gut is telling me that maybe the decisions will go out on February 20th (no reasoning why, just a weird feeling), so I'm hoping we will know within the next 2 weeks!
Same here! I am doing my best to schedule something every day this month (appts, hanging out with friends, solo adventures) just to keep my mind off of things and to have things to look forward to even if I don't get in. 😊
My spidey senses are also telling me around the 20th!!! I did look at the thread from last year and it took something like 3.5 weeks after the last interview.
Lol true! I got mine at 11:11 pm.
Yes there is!
Thank you! Do you know if they've mentioned the date at this point?
Not yet. Ours was April 5th my cycle, but there were a few dates through April.
We track after 2nd year. Small, large, or mixed.
I can relate. I am worried my hopes ARE too high. I used to have more of a “I will take any school” mindset, and I mean, I still do. But, now that UF actually feels within my reach because I got this interview… it’s just changed things for me. I want this sooo bad and I want it to be UF. I know we all do!
It is crazy how much my mindset has changed after actually going through the cycle. I wasn't even that interested in UF before besides it being my in-state because I had somewhat delusional dreams about my top schools. Then I got my interview (and rejections from said dream schools) and feel incredibly passionate about UF. I want it. SO BAD. As I'm sure everyone, like you said, does. I love living in a fantasy world that I might get in so the actual letter coming in scares me but I'm ready to know.
You will get a full email notifying you of your admissions status (accept, waitlist, declined).
Wonderful so for all I know I will be sitting on my couch, deep into an episode of Lost when I receive a gmail notif and read either "we regret to inform you" or "congratulations!" from UF
Hoping for Thursday or Friday, but I think because they increased interviews in could be the week after
I am so scared that it’s going to happen while I am in public because either way I am going to completely crash out
I’ve always thought that if they could send it on a Monday, they could’ve sent it the previous Friday. But who knows… after the 11:11pm interview emails we can’t expect anything at alllllll
I just want to be put out of my misery
Yes, it does! It took about that long last year, looking at the forums but also I believe there were a significant amount more interviews so maybe next week is more likely? Either way I have been spiraling WORSE than before which I did not think was possible
