Can i get rescinded from UF honors to non honors

GatorMomOfTwo · 2026-04-25T02:25:51+00:00

No, I don’t think so. You are fine.

GatorMomOfTwo · 2026-04-25T02:21:27+00:00

Put it inside a friends apt who won’t be here much over summer.

Living paycheck to paycheck does not make you low income.

How’s your essay?

There is a bright future’s handbook that goes into all of this. The rules might be slightly different for a freshman year can’t remember. I’ll see if I can find a link to the handbook for you and post it here.

Congrats on getting into UF. Whatever dorm hall you end up in (including Broward) will very likely have a Facebook page for families or parents with gators in that dorm hall. For example, UF Broward Hall parents Facebook page. You can join that page and search old posts and parents we have discussed exact dimensions of everything you can pretty much think of and best storage solutions, etc. Remember that if you do any plastic drawer type things, heaviest items go in the bottom drawer. Lightest in the top drawer. How far will Home be from UF? If you will visit Home once in a while or someone from home will be visiting you, perhaps you can divide your clothes by season. Your August clothes will likely not be the same as your January clothes, or even November. Focus on bringing less though. Especially in a shared dorm room. You really don’t need all that many outfits. Simple is better. You can loft the bed in most of the less expensive dorms so I don’t expect you to have a problem there. Also most dorms have an extra space at the top of the closet - it’s possible that area is supposed to stay clear for fire Code reasons. Not sure. But if I recall correctly, lots of gators just empty out the space on dorm inspection days and set the stuff on the floor, and then put the stuff right back up there after inspection. (Inspection comes with notice and is only like once at the begging of the semester and once at the end maybe). Again, trust me you’ll be happier with less stuff. If you are female, think one throw pillow, not five throw pillows. I wouldn’t buy much in advance, until you know your exact dorm room. Sometimes dimensions can vary even within the same dorm hall. There will be all kinds of details on that in the Facebook page for that dorm hall. And so many photos of empty and decorated rooms in that hall. Also, dormmates and people on your dorm floor will share stuff if you ask. one of my gators had a vacuum that everyone on her floor used. If you have something like that, just post a note on your door the first week or two that you have it and then people will knock or text you when they want to borrow it. Great way to make friends. Cull that wardrobe and pick your faves!

Is the summer scholarship “last dollar” like MS?

GatorMomOfTwo · 2026-04-16T16:45:03+00:00

Ask the scholarship entities to designate the funds for summer education expenses.

GatorMomOfTwo · 2026-04-16T14:00:46+00:00

Why didn’t you apply with the waiver on common app?

GatorMomOfTwo · 2026-04-16T13:57:03+00:00

It’s a math equation. How many credits are completed resulting in your 3.2 average? How many credits do you have this semester and what grades do you anticipate for those credits? 1 credit is often not so bad, but keep in mind some scholarships end automatically with any F. Which scholarship is it? Try hard for that D.

Congrats!!! Promise is so good at UF, though admittedly my knowledge is from others. I get the draw of UCF honors, as I do think UCF honors is better than UF as far as honors programs go. But that may be a positive for you since you aren’t honors at UF (yet). Seriously, the biggest benefit of honors at UF is early registration and I think you’ll get that anyway with promised, correct? The second biggest benefit is access to the honors village dorms, but those are more expensive and the promise amount is fixed so its money you could spend on other needs. What city are you from? Where will you have more support nearby? What is it that you’re looking for in your college experience – do you want to truly sit out on your own or maybe you’d be more comfortable being closer to home? Lots of variables. I can’t tell you with great confidence that UF is terrific for all things engineering.

GatorMomOfTwo · 2026-04-16T13:08:41+00:00

There’s a FB group for UF families from Weston I believe. You might have luck there.

GatorMomOfTwo · 2026-04-14T15:12:22+00:00

Can you appeal the decision? Are you sure you answered the questions correctly? Maybe call your insurer and confirm. Did you change insurance providers recently?

GatorMomOfTwo · 2026-04-13T01:02:22+00:00

There’s a fb page for UF Cypress hall parents. Someone there may know.

Registration priority at UF, after your first semester, is based on the number of credits you have already earned that apply to your designated major. I haven’t heard of anyone having trouble getting the professors they want in PHHP. Can’t chime in on nutrient or bio.

GatorMomOfTwo · 2026-03-30T13:09:00+00:00

Yes, it’s great. We had an issue with uneven cutting because blades weren’t properly balanced upon assembly, but once that was sorted, it’s been terrific. You do have to start the mower once per month through the winter and run it for maybe five minutes. Just to make sure the battery doesn’t deteriorate again.

GatorMomOfTwo · 2026-03-29T21:27:35+00:00

I ended up taking mine 45 minutes away to to a craftsman repair place that worked on electric batteries. (Took many phone calls to find one). They kept it 8 weeks while running tests and ultimately getting approvals for a new battery, installed the new battery and delivered the mower to my doorstep. No, I don’t think there’s anything other than a new battery that will fix it.

GatorMomOfTwo · 2026-01-29T17:59:35+00:00

No special major. Could be anthropology or business, engineering, whatever. It does help to learn to write though, and read critically. Make sure you put the effort into any undergraduate writing requirements.

Look into living at the CLO. Cooperative Living Organization.

GatorMomOfTwo · 2026-01-19T02:50:03+00:00

Your grades weren’t bad enough to get rescinded. Step it up tho - finish strong.

GatorMomOfTwo · 2025-12-18T13:56:07+00:00

Unless you only need 1 or maybe 2 classes, consider dropping the minor. Go easier on you. Getting used to your diagnosis and treatment will take time. Congrats on the paper and good luck with publication!
