I received an email last week saying that the admissions committee was interested in interviewing me but it was contingent upon a course and they requested the syllabus ...submitted the material but Haven't heard anything since then. I had to do the same thing, but months ago. I provided the syllabus and lab schedule and they approved it. Emailed me back within a couple days. I think it is SOP for any course not in their database. I also had to take a prereq course post graduation, I told them where I was going to do it, and offered to send the syllabus and lab schedule; they said something like "we don't need the syllabus, we have already approved that course from that college." They asked for mine for A&P and Microbio from a 4 year university, I guess I must have just been the first person to use those prereq classes from that University in a while, because they had no problem with any of my others (that I would be inclined to believe were more critical).

I am just anxious because they have not sent me a confirmation of approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionel Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I got the call earlier from Ms. Kays of acceptance earlier this week! I was half asleep when you called me from my night shift! I honestly thought it was a dream until I got an email LOL. It feels great to be a double Gator, and I hope you guys join me too! I think from my interview session (11/25), they said that all decisions should be out by December 15th. Best of luck everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamme81 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I'm wondering if everyone who was offered a seat was picked right after the interviews. Has anyone who interviewed that was not offered a seat been formally rejected or notified of being on the alternate list? I'm just wondering if there are any spots left or if hearing nothing is actually a no. I have already taken out a loan and paid my other school's tuition (starts in January), so I'm not sure if changing schools is even possible if I did hear something at this point. I was hoping to know before my loan was accepted at the other program. Graduate plus is credit based and I had to get an endorser, so I'm not sure if changing is even an option. I would love the opportunity to have that decision to make, though! I was so impressed with UF when I interviewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding, and I could be wrong, but most of the acceptances are extended towards the middle of December. So maybe next week-ish? The way they explained it during our interviews was that if you didn't hear anything right away, don't stress it because those were just the people who topped their lists off the bat. The majority of people would be getting their acceptance or alternate notification sometime in mid December. So I wouldn't pack the car just yet :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just judging from the responses on here, the seats have to be close to full...lol. Congrats to those who have gotten accepted so quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anachronist Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 It was mentioned previously by GreatChecko that there is at least 1 seat left per person interviewed at UF. i.e. If there were 20 candidates during the last interview, that there were at least 20 seats still open. From what I've seen here, acceptance/waitlist can come anywhere from the Friday following an interview (very few) to one month after (more?) to the mid/late Dec "final decision" time. So if you've interviewed, and you still haven't heard anything (especially the Dec group) that you will hear something soon (before Christmas I would assume). Hypothetically the probability shouldn't change depending on when you interviewed, only if you would hear anything before the Dec "final decision" time. And as tmr417 has shown, people from the first interviews are still being accepted. I know the wait is awful, but stay positive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD2012 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Just got the email. Rejected, no alternate list, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Just makes my decision easier since I got into my dream program 20 minutes away from home. Good luck to everyone else, hopefully everyone has an acceptance somewhere while they wait.

I got into my number one program as well, although this one was number one for a while there. I would have had a hard time choosing. I probably would have chosen this one due to cost and reputation, but at least my decision is made for me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAtimes3 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 If it makes you feel any better, I was straight up rejected too after my interview, and to top it all off, I was addressed as "Ms." in my rejection email and I am a male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omg! Have you been accepted anywhere else? Things happen for a reason, and there must be a reason why I will be able to stay home while attending, which I am very thankful for.

dpgal2011 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 For those of you that were accepted, did they give you a deadline by when you had to respond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they called they should've given it to you as well, but I believe it is 2-3 weeks after you get the letter by mail. So like a month-ish after the call.
