Paramedic Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hello all I just finished my application for the UF class of 2016. I am super stoked and ready for this tough road. I am creating this forum to figure out who all is applying for UF. Due to deadlines UF is the only school I can apply to for my first application cycle. :O_O: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Not sure what you mean by deadlines this cycle... UF has a pretty early deadline of Oct 1 and CASPA just opened so there's plenty of time to apply to other schools... unless you haven't met pre-reqs. Good luck to you!

Paramedic Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Woodsters- Yeah, I have not met other schools pre-req, such as organic chem, bio (Nova), and Genetics (nova Jacks). I have to take 12 more classes in 3 semesters along with working rescue full time at 56 hours a week. Jc2012- good luck to you as well, what all schools are you applying to? Are you from north central florida? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry519 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 UF is my number one choice as well, hoping to get my application in by the end of May. Good luck to everyone! I'm super nervous because I really want to go here. I was a Gator for my undergrad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampas16 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I'll be applying to UF as well, I've completed some of my application but was waiting to get my final grades for this semester's pre-reqs. Hopefully I'll have everything submitted by June/July. I've been planning this for so many years and I can't believe it is actually time to make it happen. I'm so excited!

Paramedic Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 All verified and ready to rock. Now, hurry up and wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 @Paramedic - you have definitely entered the "wait" part of hurry up and wait! CASPA usually mails out the first round of packets to the schools by the middle of June. UF's first interview is usually the last Monday of August. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long! Keep us posted on your journey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa6 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Regarding letters of reference, for those of you who have applied: Did you have a physician recommend you? I am aware the UF website sais they "suggest" it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 I had my medical director (Physician), a PA from a local ER that also partners with my medical director in a primary practice, and my EMS/Fire supervisor. I would do all you can to fulfill the "suggestions" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry519 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 For my letters of rec I have a physician, PA, and the assistant nurse manager all from the unit I work at since I have been out of school for a little now so I couldn't get a professor. Those I work with can at least speak for my drive, work ethic, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatChecko Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 You early birds have the right idea and your letters of rec sound spot on. What I've told all my friends is to apply early and be sure to read all the UF application instructions. There are some very easy steps that will cause some issues if you skip them. As Woodsters says, the waiting is the toughest part. Focus on the studies and you'll get a phone call when you least expect it. Good Luck!

Paramedic Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Has anyone received notification from UF that your application has been received? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I don't know that they do that but if in doubt you can always email the program and they will let you know. Did you submit the supplemental? Don't forget to do that. And be sure to print it off and mail it to the program as well (if they still require that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatChecko Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Last year they sent one email to indicate they received the CASPA app, the supplemental, and your GRE scores, and that your application had been forwarded to the admissions committee for review. Unfortunately, I never received emails confirming that separate parts where received. It was sent from an email at webadmit.org, which seems to be a service used by a few PA schools, so you might want to make sure that emails from that domain don't end up in your junkmail folder. Woodster's advice is good, they are quite friendly in the office and do respond to emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 At this point they probably just received (or are about to receive) the first batch of CASPA apps. So it might be a bit premature to be worried about it. I know, it's nerve racking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Every thing is complete, caspa shows that gre scores are received and mailed, caspa app is complete, and my suppl app is complete. I will give it another couple of weeks until I start emailing the program, I would hate to bother. Thank y'all for being so helpful and positive.
