They are supposed to be mailed Friday?

 

[GellaBella]

I had no idea they were letting us know so soon!

email or snail mail?

 

[cattycat]

They have always sent them out through snail mail so I am guessing it is the same this year.

How did you find out that they're being sent (or delivered?) on Friday? Ive been trying to stay super busy so I don't go crazy checking my mailbox

 

[dlf]

I thought it was Feb. 15 (Monday)?

 

[cattycat]

I thought it was Feb. 15 (Monday)?

I think that was just an estimate...anyone know exactly when they are sending them out?

 

[rileydog]

February 15 is President's Day, so no mail. that is too cruel!

 

[lyndaelyzoo]

I heard from a vet student that they usually send the invitations before the 15th, so am predicting the end of this week, but thought they would send an e-mail.

Just curious (especially while we wait on interview notifications), how many of you go, or went, to Florida for Undergrad? Finishing up my last year there right now.

I'm currently finishing my last year here also!


To answer another question, UF sends snail mail (always have), so unless they have changed their format we should be getting offers in the mail sometime soon (this week or next week).

 

[lyndaelyzoo]

I got my MS in Forensic Science from UF last year, but it was a distance learning program, so that doesn't count, right 😉!!!

 

[Mitshu]

I did my undergrad in Bio and now my masters in Ans Science at UF. I got rejected at first last year, but I ended up getting a call from UF during spring break so I had an interview but didnt get accepted. Hopefully this year I'll get in

 

[cattycat]

I did my undergrad and masters at UF. This is my 3rd year applying to them! Hoping for an interview this year!

Haha, of course it does 🙂.
And 👎 for snail mail, even though I live right next to the vet school. Mail always seems to get to my apartment late.

 

[cattycat]

I called and they said they should be sending out the interview invites by the beginning of next week!

 

[Risika]

I am finishing up my last semester at UF right now as well.

 

[nymeria1]

Early in the application cycle, UF sent a piece of mail to my home address in Florida (I'm away at school in New England). Does anyone know if they like to send all of their mail to your home address as opposed to your current/school address or if this was just a fluke as it was related to residency stuff?
I just need to know if I should tell my mom to watch the mail more closely this week...

good luck everyone this next week 👍

 

[philomycus]

Everyone!!!

 

[DickVetPlease]

Does anyone know, can you become a resident/get IS tuition after one year at UF?

I don't have any connection to UF, but I put it on my list because I was interested in pursuing exotics.

I have heard that yes, you can gain residency after 1 year at UF. I don't know specifics, though.

No, you can't. They stopped doing that this past year.

 

[dlf]

Yeah, sorry, but as of this past year you cannot gain in state residency.

 

[ginger17317]

I am too 🙂

 

[lyndaelyzoo]

Wishing all of you the best of luck as we wait for interview invites!!!!😀

Dear Student,

I want to let you know that interview invitation and denial letters went out today. Since Monday is a holiday you should be receiving them by Tuesday or Wednesday. For those living overseas it may take an extra week.

In addition to the applicants selected for interviews, approximately 25 candidates will receive a letter stating that they have been placed on an alternate list. I do not have information on how this list has been ranked. Alternate applicants will be called as soon as we get confirmation on applicants declining their interview offers.

For those residing in the US – contact my office at 352-294-4272 if you do not receive a letter by next Friday, February 19th.

I wish you the best of luck!

Sincerely,
Lynnette Chaparro

Was just about to post that, but you beat me to it!

 

[chatter07]

I was going to post that too. I wish i can get tomorrow or tuesday. Wed I'm leaving out of town and it would really suck if i get it then after i've waited so long 🙁 Good luck guys 🙂

 

[DickVetPlease]

Hm, I never got the email. Then again, I have a slight feeling that UF has simply forgotten about me over the course of the cycle. I've sent my transcrips TWICE, and it still said it was missing on the tracking page...unless they just don't update that anymore.

Hmmm, might just be because you're OOS.

 

[GellaBella]

I don't think it has anything to do with is/oos. I got the email today and I'm oos.

Have you gotten emails from Lynette before dickvetplease? I remember some people last year said ufl had their wrong email address. I guess either way you should get a letter next week

 

[DickVetPlease]

Well I did get the email a little while back that gave us the general timeline for UF's admissions process, so I know they have the correct email somewhere down there. Ah well, who knows..

 

[futurecowvet]

Does anyone know if the interview letters are certified mail or not? I know final acceptance letters are.

 

[cattycat]

No they aren't...at least they weren't last year when a friend of mine got her interview letter.

 

[lyndaelyzoo]

I would call them asap. BTW, didn't you get accepted to UPenn, VMRCVM, and Missouri? ( I am not stalking you, just remembered since we were interviewing at VMRCVM on the same day). I know that you mentioned an interest in zoo medicine, so is that why you want to go to UF? I always wanted to be an equine vet, but am also interested in zoo medicine and UF has an exotics residency program which sounds interesting. Anyways, maybe we'll have interviews on the same day again. 😀

 

[DickVetPlease]

Actually, I finally got the email, just a bit later than all of you for whatever reason. Right now i'm keeping UF because of my interest in zoo medicine. However, I haven't decided how much of that interest is just because it sounds really cool 😳. In any case, I do have those acceptances, and for now i've been deciding between Mizzou and Edinburgh. I just can't decide whether its worth keeping UF in, now that I can't get in-state tuition after a year. If I decide that the whole zoo/exotics thing is just a dream, then i'll probably strike UF off the list whether or not I get an interview. I'm about a second away from officially deciding on Mizzou, so that letter needs to hurry up!

Hopefully we do get to interview together, since we didnt have the chance to meet @ VMRCVM!

Wow, seriously, the masters and non-trad student status sounds super competitive to me. If you don't mind me asking, do you have any idea why? That scares me.

 

[dlf]

Yayyyy I got an interview!

 

[flagirl2014]

Congrats dlf! What city does your mail go to, if you don't mind me asking? My mail allready came in central Florida, so I guess I have to wait until Tuesday. Ugh!

 

[dlf]

Congrats dlf! What city does your mail go to, if you don't mind me asking? My mail allready came in central Florida, so I guess I have to wait until Tuesday. Ugh!

No, I don't mind you asking. My mail comes to my house in Gainesville, so basically right down the street from the school...

 

[flagirl2014]

Thanks dlf! I am curious if there will be an info session and tours. I hope so. Does the letter have interview time/date?

 

[JuniorJumper]

I got an interview too! I just graduated UF in December with a BS in animal sciences

My mail goes to Gainesville

The letter has the interview date & time. I believe tours are given after the interview (or if you get there really early, I would imagine you can tour before). Good luck everyone!

 

[PigsRock]

What's the point of going to Florida now? Tebow won't be there! 🙁

 

[luplodw]

They are still gonna have a killer football/basketball team

 

[lyndaelyzoo]

What's the point of going to Florida now? Tebow won't be there! 🙁

Who??? 😀 I wish UF could just e-mail their invites....more waiting..........UGH!! Congratulations to those of you who already received invitations!!!

 

[ginger17317]

Is Gainesville your permanent address?

 

[lyndaelyzoo]

Live in south Florida, so expecting that letter (hopefully an invitation) on Tuesday!!!😀

 

[galen13]

I think the only people who got letters today are the ones who have a permanent address in Gainesville... I got mine.

REJECTED!!!!! 🙁 But it's ok... can't get in everywhere

 

[zxz130]

Crap, my permanent address is down in Miami. For some reason I realize that would be where everything is mailed to when I put my info down 🙁.

 

[JuniorJumper]

My permanent address is in Palm Beach. My letter came to my apartment in Gainesville.
