Cody89 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Awesome, thanks for the info woodsters. That's exactly what I was hoping to hear and sure makes me feel better. I'm definitely excited to get in and meet everyone. I'm going to try to get there around noon so I have plenty of time to find parking and get checked-in.

woodsters Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Cody - there's some free parallel parking along SW 16th Ave near the 1329 building. The 1329 building is at the corner of SW 16th Ave and SW 16th St. If you park in one of the hospital gargages the cost is $10 (I think). Getting there early is a very good idea! Good luck!

Cody89 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 It went very well. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. The orientation was very informative and the group exercise helped calm down and relieve some of my stress. Also, the dinner was a great experience. It was great being able to meet and talk to all of the first year students and get some inside tips and advice. Overall, I'm very impressed with the campus, faculty, and the program as a whole. Hopefully, after my interview, they will feel the same about me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Cody - glad to hear it! You're in my thoughts this morning as you interview! Be sure to let me know if you hear back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody89 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Well, I'll give you all the credit then lol I just got back home after a 10hr drive back to Nashville so I'm pretty exhausted. I feel like I did pretty well with all 3 of my interviews. I was quite nervous at the beginning, but, like you said, everyone was very relaxed and conversational so that made it much easier for me to calm down. Everyone answered all of my questions, and I have a much better understanding of the program for sure. Of course I have no real clue, but from how everyone spoke with me during and after the interviews, I feel decently confident that I'll get a call soon hopefully. I'll keep ya posted and thanks again for everything :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody89 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I got the call today around noon that I've been accepted. Can't express how happy, relieved, and excited I am. Best of luck to everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsters Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Yay Cody - do I still get credit :-) HA! To everyone else waiting to hear... what I've noticed in the past is they do their best to field the class by the Friday before Christmas break (December 14 this year). And even if they don't here's what will happen - if you get in, you'll get a call. Otherwise, you'll get a letter in the next month or so stating you are either on the waitlist or you were rejected. If on the waitlist, the "waiting game" begins as you wait for others to decide they don't want their seat. There's no time limit on how long you might be expected to wait - it could be as late as the first week of class (early July). Best wishes to all those who have interviewed and are still hoping for a seat. Keep me posted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorpac Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I got the call late this morning, as well! Can't wait to meet all my future classmates. Those accepted should request to join the FB group so we can get an idea of who everyone is! :) I believe the link is on the 7th or 8th page of this thread. Congrats to those accepted and good luck to those still waiting to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjones Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Does anyone know if all of the calls have been made? Sounds like a lot were made on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm not sure but there was an interview last week so perhaps most of those that heard on Friday were from that group. Usually they attempt to finalize the class right before Christmas break which will be this Friday. Hang in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melmonte Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Does anyone know if all the calls have been made? :sadface: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennib723 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I have been selected as an alternate. Does UF have a set number of alternates every year? I'm trying to stay hopeful, but just the thought of having to wait on pins and needles for so long is discouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 They usually pick 30 alternates. I doubt you'll ever know which # you are. The year I started they only went 6 deep on the alternate list. The following year they went 17 deep. It just depends. The waiting game truly begins now and you'll never know when that phone call will come! Hang in there and good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody89 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I can't seem to find the UF PA group on facebook. Anyone have a link or some info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Look at the last entry on page 8 of this thread. I posted it there. I'd copy and paste it for you but I'm on my iPad and can't figure it out:;-): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
