Kslag Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hey everyone! I got an interview at UF (super excited) and I scheduled it for October 31st-November 1st. I was wondering if anyone had already interviewed there and could share some insight on what the first day is like as well as the 3 individual interviews on the second day. Or if anyone has any tips, any advice is welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kslag Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 This is directly from Karen in an email for all those wondering when they will hear back: We will make all decisions regarding admission to our program by mid-December and all interviewees will be notified before the holidays.

Waiting really is the hardest part (as I'm sure you know), and any idea of when to expect to hear something would really help. Thanks in advance!

jayers90 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 For those who've already interviewed, do they accept more students from previous interview groups after they've conducted half of their interviews? I saw something like that from previous years and was hoping that would be the case this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMT33 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Interviewed earlier this week. Got the call today! So excited to be a Gator again! Interview tip: don't try to be what you think they are looking for. Be you and that's enough for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmv11 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 got the call yesterday with an interview invite on Nov 28/29! STOKED because I thought it was way too late in the game and was ready to accept that I was probably getting rejected because I hadn't heard anything since 8/4 with second level review email. HOWEVER. I am so excited for this opportunity!!! not sure if this is the last interview date or not. i assume there is still at least 1 or 2 in December before final decisions go out?

GreatChecko Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 got the call yesterday with an interview invite on Nov 28/29!

HOWEVER. I am so excited for this opportunity!!! not sure if this is the last interview date or not. i assume there is still at least 1 or 2 in December before final decisions go out? I think that's the last interview date. Traditionally, the last interviews are the week after Thanksgiving and with an earlier Thanksgiving, the interviews would fall right at the end of November. Now before anyone goes catastrophizing and thinking they won't get a call, this is probably the first wave of calls and I sincerely doubt the day is completely full. Also, interviewees will cancel, people will need their dates changed, etc. and other people will get called. Realistically, yes, spots are probably getting more limited, but calls will still go out for the next month or so. Quick tip for those flying in for this date. Since it's so close to thanksgiving, be creative with your flights. Jacksonville, Daytona, Saint Augustine, Orlando Intl and Sanford (Orlando likes tolls, so make sure the difference in fares survives them, they are high!), even Tampa (~2 hr drive) are well within relatively comfortable driving distance, and are likely much cheaper than GNV. The airport at GNV is great and very easy in and out, but can be expensive. All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelbyk08 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 For those that have already received an interview: how long did it take between the phone call invite and the email with more details about the interview? I got a call for an interview (yay!) about a week and a half ago, and still no email. Didn't want to contact them about it and jump the gun.

jimjamesjimothy Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I got a call on Friday 9/30 and was left a voicemail to call Karen back but was at work (strict no cell phone policy). By the time I got out of work the office was closed so I called Monday morning 10/3 and left a voicemail and haven't heard anything back, does anyone know the best way to get in touch with Karen or someone else from the admissions office? (I called again this morning 10/4 and left a voicemail again). I don't want to be annoying by calling every day but i'm anxious to hear from them.

L2014 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hi all! I received an email 7/6 stating my application was received and forwarded to the admissions committee for review, but haven't heard anything since... Any idea what this means? Or if I should follow up with them? I know a lot of programs do not like when people contact them for status updates because they are so busy. Just wondering if anyone had any insight. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pack1113 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 In the same boat L2014. Haven't heard anything since my "admission committee review" email! Thinking of e-mailing but I'm not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmpa6 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hello everyone! I will be a first-year next month and want to wish you all the best of luck! I was in your shoes this time last year. Here is a rough timeline of my application process with UF: May 2015 - CASPA application and UF supplemental application submitted May 27, 2015 - Received e-mail verification that UF received application and payment June 29, 2015 - Received 1st e-mail from UF stating they have received my application materials August 8, 2015 - Received 2nd e-mail that UF has received all application materials & forwarded application to the Admissions Committee for initial review August 14, 2015 - Received e-mail that UF has forwarded my application for a second level round of review September 25, 2015 - Received the call from UF for an interview offer! October 5 & October 6, 2015 - 2 day interview process October 28, 2015 (2:57pm) - Received a phone call from UF with an acceptance offer! So as you can see, this process is a lot of hurry up and wait. From my understanding, your applications will go through an initial screening to first determine if you meet all requirements or are competitive and then will undergo a second level round of review to determine if you will receive an interview offer or not. I hope this helps but it's still EARLY in this year's cycle so relax as best you can and breathe as best you can. Feel free to ask anything that comes to mind. I also have a blog posted below where I detail the general CASPA application process to answer any questions applicants may have. Again, best of luck! Would you mind sharing your stats?

uscpaplz Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 My CASPA was verified in August and I received my Receipt email 8/3 but I have not received confirmation that my application has gone to the 1st screening process. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat or if I should count myself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
