OOS waitlisted.. aka "If you thought your anxiety was high already, we've got news for ya..." haha

Just kidding, congratulations to those accepted! I hope to hear some good news in the coming months and be invited to join you in the fall! 🙂
 
IS alternate :/ this waiting game is ROUGHHHH. Quick note to anyone who won’t be accepting their seat: please inform the college as soon as you’ve made your decision, because all of us waitlisted are in limbo for the next few months. Any help getting that potential call sooner is much appreciated!! Congrats to those accepted 🙂
 
OOS alternate. Really really hoping I get in. Does anybody know how soon they will start calling people off the waitlist?

I believe we had somebody on SDN called off in March last year, so I don't think they necessarily wait for the April 15th deadline. It will depend on how soon people decline their spots.

EDIT: Yeah just checked the previous year's thread. Someone got the call on March 6. I think a fair number of OOSers came off the waitlist last year - I was also a waitlist student, although I didn't get the call until April 16.

Do you know if they call OOS people if an OOS person declines their seat and same for IS or is it just one list for both IS and OOS and they call in the order of the list if someone declines?

I'm honestly not sure. I just assumed they were separate. Probably best to ask UF.
 
Do any current students have any advice on housing? Do older students often look for housing or is it best to seek out a place on your own? I’d like a roommate and need some advice!

I currently live in the Gainesville area. I decided to live alone with my twi adorable cats, its a little pricy but it was my choice. There are si many options of housing in Gainesville area and im sure when the facebook group is created you will find the current vet students are probably looking for a new roommate.
 
Does anyone know when we are supposed to put a deposit down to lock down our spot? I have already sent in the acceptance document and created a Gatorlink account but I am eager to make this official!
 
Does anyone know if we can choose to pursue the MPH degree at any point during vet school, or is this our only opportunity to apply?

I'm not an MPH student, but I think what I remember is that ideally they'd like you to apply by March 1st because you would take some classes this summer. However, you can apply later if you talk to the coordinator - you just may need to take an extra semester after you finish your DVM to finish your MPH. I'd contact the coordinator to confirm that for sure. There is probably a point (maybe after first year?) where it's too late period because you'd be too far behind on classes.

Sometimes there are people from upper classes that look for roommates but I do remember that once our class facebook page got made that people posted for roommates and such. A lot of vet students live in treehouse which is an apartment complex pretty close to the school or along the 35 bus route (the only bus that stops relatively close to the vet school).
 
How long did it take for those of you who have already accepted your seats to get the email from Florida Graduate Office? It said within 48 hours but I haven’t gotten one yet and it’s been more than 48 hours

Thanks for this! I’ll start looking!

When the FB group is up will someone share the link please? I’m trying to figure out some family stuff before confirming my seat and deposit but I’m 99.9% sure I’m coming to UF and want to get housing/meet everyone! This is so exciting! Congrats everyone

I have a friend who is a first year currently and she said their facebook class group get made till May-June. I currently live in the area so if you have any questions feel free to message me 🙂
 
When I first began my journey to apply to UF vet school animal nutrition was required and allowed to be taken the summer before classes. Does anyone know if this is still a requirement? I see no mention on the website and have not taken the course either. Thought I would ask before I bug the admissions office. I know they are slammed with emails.

I am 90% certain that they removed the animal nutrition class requirements for admissions. However, I would confirm with admission as it was happened very recently (last cycle).

I've been using this website for prereqs: https://www.aavmc.org/data/files/vmcas/prereqchart.pdf and they don't show anything about animal nutrition!
Also when I was at my interview they said my only missing prerequisite was microbiology (which I was taking last fall), and I haven't taken animal nutrition and they said nothing about that.

Thanks guys! I will email to confirm but since I can’t find anything about it, it must be removed.

Did you get the email yet?

No :/ I have another friend who hasn’t gotten yet either. But, we’re not stressing much because we got the initial email confirming that they received the acceptance form which is the most important to us cause it means we have our seat and no one will take it 🙂 im pretty sure things are delayed a little so don’t stress 🙂

I’m not sure if this already has been asked but how is the semester/curriculum set up at UF? Do we have a new class every few weeks?

Schedules for this semester are posted online: Schedules & Booklist I think the best description is a modified block schedule. Most classes are only a few weeks, but they stagger the start and end dates so we don't start or end a set of classes all at once.
