I am SO sorry!!! Is there an appeals process? Maybe there is someone you could talk to, given that you work there and her stats are so compelling and accompanied by robust extracurriculars

Yeah - what took you so long? I thought that you would be the first to reply!

Tech meltdown. School wifi convinently stopped working at 2:58 (my time), so I had to get it open on my phone. Now i’m home and back on my computer.

Rejected, but totally fine with it. UF was a high reach for me because of SAT. Have great options that I’m psyched about! Congrats to all who got accepted, especially those where UF is their dream school!!!

My daughter was accepted for Summer B 2024, Does anyone know if the housing she gets is hers for the year? Does anyone know the dates and when she would have to get up there?

Slightly but it’s still sooo hard to get in to UF - it is still a great accomplishment and you are a Gator from day 1 and can join fraternities/sororities etc so if you really want to go to UF it’s a great alternative

What does it mean that my priority date for housing is today? Can I choose my residence hall right now or something.

I already wrote to DeSantis… I’d recommend you do the same. They get state funds.

No it means when they get to choosing, your priority will be later than someone who paid the fee with an earlier date.

I think it is the SAT score. 1300 below their average.

You have a legitimate beef with a 35 ACT.
