soooo i'm trying to write my supp essay for UF, and just looked at UF's webpage and apparently it's not due tomorrow anymore?!?! obviously it is too late at this hour to call and make sure, but can anyone confirm that this is true?? either way, i'm still going to finally write this damn essay, but if it can be delayed for a few more days that'd be awesomeeee! thanks in advance for anyone that knows any info...! :]

It is on their website so there is no need to confirm.

kk, awesome! just wanted to make sure, so yay!

Yes, I double checked in person. I stopped by to drop off my two other forms. I'm happy to have more time to write the essay too!! ALso, Ms. Chaparro mentioned to me that she will be on vacation from the 23rd to october 3rd, so don't freak out if stuff you send in at that time doesn't get marked as received (she's the one that does that).

They did something like this last year, they extended the dates and stuff for transcripts. I submitted my UF supplemental on Tuesday.

Thanks for the extra info!! Especially about Lynette being out of the office! Good luck with your apps!

I know I'm running behind, but I was wondering what is the topic for the supplemental essay?

I'm not applying so I don't have the exact quoted topic, but it is on diversity.

Here's the prompt: Along with solid communication skills, strong academic talent, and experience within the profession, we seek to enroll students with varied backgrounds and interests. Such diversity contributes to the learning environment and, historically, has produced graduates who have served all segments of society. Please discuss how your interests, background, life experiences, and perspectives would contribute to the diversity of the entering class. You may also describe disadvantages that may have aversely affected your past performance or that you have successfully overcome. We ask that you please type your essay and that you limit to the space below.



For those of you who already submitted this essay, how did you attach it to the PDF file? Did you just print it out and tape it together, or did anyone find a more technical way of doing that?

i just copied and pasted what was on the pdf to Word...

 

[Wilson1]

Ah, that makes sense. I guess I was just worried because that changes the amount of space on the page. But I guess I can adjust the margins in word to make it look exactly like it does on the PDF.

I am really confused right now...


When I took the GRE I requested my scores to be submitted to the college of vet med (code 5753) but on my supplemental UF has not received the scores.
I did notice the supplemental application states to submit the scores their code is 5812. Yet when I request ETS to submit my scores, I find the institutional code but not the department code. Can someone please help me!!!

 

[Wilson1]

I had the same problem. I sent mine using the same code you did. On my supplemental I said it was not received, but I emailed Lynnette- she said it was there and now it says received.

It wouldn't hurt to send her an email, but I think she's out of office right now. They probably have your scores!
