I'd give it a week and a half before you find out, judging by how long it took for the previous interviews.

Interviews are very casual and can go long as the conversation will carry it. Most typically are around 10, although personally I pushed it past that a bit.

I see you got accepted to the Jacksonville campus. Congrats ! I just got an interview for April 10th and I live in Jax. Any advice to do good?
 
Okay, so what happens if you interview and DON'T get in? Instead of a packet through certified mail do they just send a regular letter saying you are not accepted? Or does UF have a waiting list like other schools that they might put you on? Anybody know?
 
Making my specific appointment time for my interview for Jax campus April 3rd. 5 days after my 26th birthday! Wow, time flies. :thumbup:

I know what you mean, I find those things to be such a waste of time! I'm already addicted enough as it is with SDN :rolleyes:
 
I applied to this school like 6 months ago and haven't heaard a thing from them. So far I have had 4 interview invitations, declined one, got waitlisted, and accepted to the other two (Notre Dame and UM in baltimore). I was hoping to get some sort of response but I don;t think I have the specs to get in. But UMB is a school that is even ranked with them.

Well there is still time...UF seems to kind of do things a little later than most schools. There are interviews in April and May coming up, so who knows? Which of your 2 accepted schools are you leaning towards attending?
 
oh and YES you guys have to join Facebook!! It's aaaweesome.:laugh:

Haha, no, you don't NEED to! But UF students are heavy FB users (so much so, it is banned on certain campus computers). So that is an avenue of communication you would be missing out on. I would open an account just to have it available.

As for how long it takes for UF to respond, don't lose hope! A friend of mine got accepted from the wait list two weeks before school started, after he moved to Georgia to attend Mercer.

Got my packet. Took around 2 weeks for those of you who are waiting.

By the way, does anyone know if they accept AP credit? I passed an AP test with a score of 4 in Calculus from high school. Thanks!

From UF's website:

"We do accept AP/IB credits for
pre-professional courses, but there is no grade value assigned for those courses, so they cannot be factored into
the GPA."
 
:soexcited:I got my packet, woohoo!! See you all in Apopka this fall!! GO Gators!!:D:D:D

Congrats to all of you accepted or getting interviews at UF. I'm a 1pd at the Orlando campus this year. I know last year I had a million questions and this process is really stressful! If you want to ask me anything I'll try to sign on here and there and check things out.

yes i have a question about CPR certification! do we need a certain kind (pre-healthcare) certification or just the basic "heartsaver" CPR or whatever? it didn't specify in the instructions that it had to be a certain kind but i would hate to waste time having to do it twice...!
 
Interview invite for the University of Florida, Gainesville campus April 3rd!

Interview invite for NOVA April 13th!


Hard work and patience pay off in the end! Don't give up hope!

i had that same question- i thought i didn't have one, but then i went to the UF page where you can look up your UFID with your SSN, and it gave me mine. i think you are assigned one when you fill out that application for UF general admission. so try that, if no luck give them a call!

Thank you, the website gave me a number. Brilliant, that was really helpful. Thanks!!!
 
Yeah I was wondering if we can do it online, that would be awesome!
Where do you even get certified for pediatric and adult CPR?

i went on the American Heart Association website and searched for CPR classes in my area. This company called Sylvester Consultants is doing it for a group of us in Orlando for a discount. You should see if you could find something like that in your area!

Nope, can't do it online.

American Red Cross and American Heart Association offer it. I believe your local fire station may also.
 
Has anyone heard a response from the March 20th interview yet? I'm so anxious
 
Got my packet today!! UF St Pete, can't wait to meet everybody!! :biglove:

I'm currently a first-year student at Orlando campus-class 2012. So far, base on my experience, UF pharmacy "screens" their applicants very carefully. If you get an interview letter, that means you have a strong point (GPA, PCAT, or extraactivities, etc..)

Good luck very one and hope to see you guys soon :thumbup:,

Ben is right! According to the past two years, once you have been given a chance to interview, your chances of being accepted is very high. See you then.

They must be right because hardly anyone here who interviewed at UF seemed to have gotten a rejection. Is there anyone who interviewed and was denied acceptance or waitlisted (if that exist at UF)? It shows, that everything was scrutinized before the interview was granted and they just want to know you.

Yeah, it's pretty much solid acceptance if you have an interview, however, I'm sure if you were on the alternate list your chances of being rejected are higher. They usually only interview 350 for 300 (maybe slightly more) applicants, and usually more than 300 get that accpetance letter (including the select few who turn UF down.
 
I'm in! I'll see you all in St. Pete!:soexcited: I interviewed March 20. The letter was dated March 26th for those interested. Good luck to the rest still waiting!
