Henry519 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Sorry to hear about the rejection letters going out. I have yet to hear anything from UF. After I saw these posts I went to check my mail and almost had an aneurysm. However, I had nothing from UF. Now I have the rest of the weekend to worry if I have a rejection letter coming or if I may get a call on Monday. :\ I hate this, I just want to know either way.

FSU_Beybita Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I haven't gotten anything. I have no idea what it means, but I guess I can still hope :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneday6 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Is there any hope for me to at least get an interview? Or is the interview process over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatChecko Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 The interview process is unfortunately over. Last interviews were the first week of December. Applying early is key. Submit your CASPA as soon as you can and let us know if you have any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Did any of you get waitlist or alternate letters or were they outright rejection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jencamp191 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I personally didn't get anything yet but i do have a few friends who received alternate letters yesterday... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry519 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 How far away does everyone who received a letter (alternate or rejection) live? I like about an hour and a half away. I wonder if distance has any effect. I'm worried I may find a letter on Monday. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatChecko Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I doubt distance has anything to do with it. I was way out of state when I got a call. I think the class ends up being inverse to distance only because that's what the applicant pool looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 My guess is that letters we're put in the mail on Friday and depending on the distance and efficiency of your local mail carrier the time it takes to receive the letter may vary. It is a very busy season for the USPS delivering all those cards and gifts... Acceptances are extended by phone and even if you didn't take the call a message would have been left. At this point the best news you can hope for is an alternate letter. And the waiting begins again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM2016 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I live in Miami and got my letter Friday. Fortunately I have a seat at NSU so I am grateful for that. Good luck to all who are still waiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 So they must have gone out Thursday then. Congrats on NSU. Which campus? I have a former shadow going to Ft Lauderdale next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM2016 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Thank you woodsters..it's for the Orlando campus..I was waitlisted at ft Myers and would rather attend that campus so the waiting game isn't over just yet for me :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry519 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Gatorgirl, I just relinquished my seat at Nova Ft. Myers last week as I got into UAB. I wish I could have just transferred my seat to you but at least there is one more seat open for those on the waitlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I am glad to hear that some of you at least have other opportunities! Although I wouldn't trade my UF education for anything, the bottom line is in 2016 you will achieve your dream of becoming a PA. The "where" is not the dream itself but merely the means to the end! Hold your heads high future PA's! And for those who will be waiting this one out for another year, take a deep breath and regroup for next year. And submit those applications early! I didn't get in the first time I applied either but I persevered and wound up going to school on an NHSC (full ride) scholarship and was the president of my class. Everything just fell into place when the time was right and it will for you, too. There's too much life to live to have your hopes and dreams crushed by an admissions committee! Let me know if you need help regrouping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Oh and gator girl... One of my shadows got in to UF on Monday and relinquished her seat at ft Myers so there are two seats freed up for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneday6 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Thank you woodsters..it's for the Orlando campus..I was waitlisted at ft Myers and would rather attend that campus so the waiting game isn't over just yet for me :/ Just curious Gatorgirl. Why Ft. Myers over Orl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskantacos Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Does anyone know what the chances are of getting in off the alternate list? I was really disappointed to receive the letter this weekend, as I don't feel like there is much more hope than outright rejection, plus it's just more waiting... I don't see how there would be many people turning down acceptance to UF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry519 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 It depends each year but not to be a debbie downer, it is.probably only a few if any because it is UF. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 It varies from year to year. UF isn't the dream school for everyone. Often, out of staters will choose to go elsewhere because it's cheaper. Sometimes, people are waiting on the likes of Duke, Emory, etc. In my class they only dipped 7 deep into the alternate pool. The next year, it was 17. Since you have no idea where you are on the list, there's no way to determine how much hope you have. HOWEVER, waitlist is way better than rejection except for that the waiting will continue all the way to June... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlbrooks321 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 So I just got the weirdest email at 2:30 from UF stating that: "We have received your application materials from CASPA, your UF Supplemental Application and your official GRE scores. Your application is complete. Your information has been forwarded to the Admissions Committee for review." Has anyone else received something like this today? I submitted everything in JULY so this is just weird. I was not extended an interview so I'm guessing this is just to cover their bases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Possibly computer generated?? Or got stuck in cyberspace? Pretty weird... the admissions process is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargin Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Just got my waitlist letter today. Any idea how deep the waitlist pool is and if they will tell you where you are on the list if you call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry519 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I also got my alternate list letter today in the mail. No idea how many are on the list. If you do call let me know if they tell you where you are ranked even though I don't think they will tell you. So the waiting begins again. How long are you going to wait to hear from UF before moving on with plans for other schools? I got in UAB but probably won't start getting ready for school/moving until early April but we'll see. I'm excited/bummed all at the same time, weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fargin Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Congrats on the UAB acceptance. Unfortunately for me, I am on the waitlist at South in Tampa and UofF only. So there is only waiting for me. I will let you know what I find out tomorrow if anything. Any chance I could convince you to just take the UAB spot regardless of uf status just to give us UF hopefulls a chance? P.s. anyone accepted to UF know they will be declining?
