Fargin Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Yes, I had everything in. I am a re-applicant from last year. I didn't apply to UofF last year but I did apply to other schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry519 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I also got an invite for August 26/27! I am so excited for this. Nervous, but excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulfari Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hey, congrats! When did you get offered the interview? And when did you submit your application? My CASPA was mailed prior to May 15th; then my secondary was complete around mid June. I received a phone call from UF about a few weeks ago.

Cjones Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Congrats to those who are getting the interview calls! I was in your shoes last year so I know it is very exciting and nerve racking. One thing that I recommend is plan on going to the swamp dinner with the students after the orientation. This helped me greatly last year with my nerves and get a feel for what to expect. UF really wants to get to know YOU so be yourselves and relax. You have already met their standards on paper, now they want to see if you are a good fit for the program!

Henry519 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Can any current student give a little insight into the group assignment and writing assignment? Is it ethical-based questions, medically related questions, or something off the wall like "if you were a color what would you be and why?" lol Thanks!

woodsters Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 No - it won't be abstract. It won't be controversial. It won't be to test your medical knowledge. It will be something that everyone should be able to formulate an opinion or stance on and have an interesting conversation/essay. Good luck! Let us know how it went.

GreatChecko Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I was always nervous about these questions. Invariably, I'd walk into the room, was given the topic, and had an "Oh, okay, that's pretty easy" type of reaction. The topics are generally straight forward and it is easy to formulate an opinion. Just take a moment to think about it. If it's written, write a quick outline on a piece of scrap paper to keep your thoughts straight. I can't comment on other schools, but at UF they aren't trying to trip you up with these question, and they are not trying to make you squirm. Just have a good conversation or write a cogent essay that makes sense. You don't have to be perfect, you just have to be yourself. Notice the theme :=D:? Now, "If you were a color what would you be and why?" could be a fun question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstpierre Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Quick question for all of you fellow applicants...it sounds like most of you didn't get an email saying that your GRE scores were received but if my memory serves me correctly, when we were making our gatorlink accounts after submitting our supplementals there was a feature that would allow us to track our application and the supporting documents to make sure everything was received. I haven't been able to find this though and due to how my last name is punctuated (St. Pierre) some schools systems don't always support the period in my name and my stuff doesn't end up getting matched together. I thought I'd just ask you guys here since it took me 2+ weeks to get an email response from them with a different question. I did receive the email stating that my application had been received and forwarded on to the admissions committee for review however there are instructions in that email about reporting GRE scores so I don't know if this is enough to assume that everything has been received/matched together. Any help is much appreciated! -DSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rstilwel Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 If I already received a phone call for an interview on Sept 16-17 should I still send them a copy of my supplemental application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Yes, they still want the supplemental at some point. I would go ahead and mail it in to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afh06 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 DSTPierre, If you go into CASPA and look under the right column and click "Official Tests", it should show 0427-U OF FLORIDA PHYS ASST CASPA and your score. UF is one of the schools that directly sends their scores to CASPA and (at least from my understanding) once your GRE score is received, you should be able to see the school listed on the "Official Tests" page. Do you see your score listed on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsters Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 At any rate, whether UF has your scores or not, CASPA should. And although UF will require an official copy straight from GRE people, the fact that they might not have it should not affect whether you will get an interview or not (since for the time being they will trust that what CASPA received from GRE is official). So don't sweat the small stuff. The matter of supplementals, GREs, etc won't stop them from extending an interview invite to a qualified applicant. On the other hand, lack of these will keep you from matriculating. But if accepted you will have ample time to make sure all your ducks are in a row.

MaryRose Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Has anyone forgotten to print and send a copy of the summary of the appliction?? I have everything else in, but don't know what to do? advice, please!! :sadface: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogordon Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 No sweat. I forgot last night too but good news. You can go back/click on supplemental and login in. There is actually a link to log in to review/print. Just print two--you mail one and keep one. I am sure it is no problem. I cannot speak for the university if this is acceptable but know this. You are not the only one! Goodluck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliss929 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'm confused -- do we have to submit official GRE scores twice? Once to CASPA/UF and (0427-U OF FLORIDA PHYS ASST CASPA) again straight to UF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afh06 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 You were supposed to send your GRE scores to the one for the CASPA/UF GRE code. It's a new thing that some schools are doing this year. Half of the schools I applied to used it. https://portal.caspaonline.org/caspaHelpPages/frequently-asked-questions/transcripts/standardized-tests/ here's a link to the page that shows which schools participate in it (under CASPA GRE Code).

woodsters Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 That's interesting (and new). I don't know anything about it but I do know that as long as CASPA has your GRE scores that you should not fret over whether or not UF has them. It won't hold you back from getting an interview either way. Nor will forgetting to print and mail in your supplemental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
