I haven't heard that this has changed (unless they have told you differently). Of course, there is a small minority that receive decisions within days, but that is not common. Many years ago, they did push out a group of decisions in October, but they seem to have moved away from this in past years. All the best! Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Thanks! We were told during interviews that some people would receive decisions at the end of October. This was before all the CASPr delay though.

We were told during interviews that some people would receive decisions at the end of October. This was before all the CASPr delay though. Good to hear it! Six years ago, I received my offer in October and it was quite nice. Now, keep in mind that they do hold spots open until the end too keep things fair for the later interviewees. Furthermore, the number of immediate admit offers extended will affect this number. Therefore, this is quite dynamic and the great majority will still get a final decision in December. It appears that those who already interviewed did not get an email about CASPr. Thus, I wouldn't worry about it if you're just waiting for a decision. We won't see exactly how CASPr will factor in until next year when it is integrated into the process from the beginning. It will likely be another data point used to help sift through the incredible number of applications received. I know everyone is nervously waiting, hang in there! Go Gators!

PAtobe615 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I have already interviewed and have not received anything about the CASPer test. Can anyone else who interviewed let me know if/when they have received the email? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tauntaun Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The CASPer test site does not have UF as a school to send results. I also have received no information about the CASPer test from UF. I had already taken the test for another school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katewhiteshark Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hi, I'm interviewing next week. I was wondering if anyone brought parents to the Orientation Day, or if it was strictly significant orthers/spouses? If anyone who has already interviewed or is planning on bringing a guest could let me know, that would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that in the past people have brought a parent or their SO for the orientation day and the dinner (if we haven't said it enough, go to the dinner!). That being said, I'd recommend just yourself for the interview day. Otherwise, your parent or SO will just sit in the lobby of the building for half a day.

amar314 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 A bunch of people brought someone for my interview. I brought my husband! It’s awesome that they allow this so take advantage of it for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally did not, but 2 people in my group brought someone (out of 21). As suggested above, definitely take advantage of it. I would recommend though that you make sure that you are consistently interacting with the other applicants throughout the day. From what I could gauge, you are always being "watched" or observed indirectly on how you interact with others during the orientation day (just to see if you would be a good fit (socially) for the program). Best of luck to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenixfire24 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) My initial review was on at least four to five weeks ago and I still haven't heard anything about a second review, interview, or rejection.

Jchen14 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Just received an email this morning regarding the CASPer. In essence, the committee is NOT taking the test into consideration this year when they rank potential candidates; however, everyone that is interviewing or has interviewed is required to take the test.

SteveyTX Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Just received a call about an interview. Won't be able to go until the very last one in late November because of work and other interviews. Hoping I am not making a mistake by choosing the last one, but it sounds like they do a modified rolling admissions and will have plenty of seats still available at the last interview. Good luck to everyone and hope to meet some of you along the way. Coming in from Dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
