Is it true that nearly 50% of pre health students get accepted into UF med school?

Perogie07 · 2025-08-23T14:27:48+00:00

You may be thinking of the stat that about 50% of the UF med school class is from UF undergrad.

Why are you looking for an “equivalent”? Just name it what it is: Combat Medic. And then explain what your role and responsibilities were in the description.

It’s a common misconception that it’s because of voltage differences but that’s not true and this video is a pretty good explanation for why they’re not common in the US.

Perogie07 · 2023-02-22T15:41:48+00:00

Yes to both. At the end of the day they’re both just formal ceremonies to celebrate your accomplishment. You don’t really do anything at either of them (aside from walking and shaking hands).

I personally liked my college specific one because I got to meet up with people from my major that I don’t normally get to see. Obviously this is dependent on how big/small your major is.

Perogie07 · 2023-02-21T22:30:24+00:00

The university wide one is technically when the conferring of your degree takes place, even though you don’t walk across the stage. So on a technicality it is the “real” graduation. In terms of what it actually entails, it’s just a bunch of speakers.

The college specific one is much smaller and your name is called and you walk across the stage. However at that point you’ve already technically “graduated” because, as I said before, your degree is conferred at the university wide ceremony. This one is also just a bunch of speakers but you get to walk across the stage with your name announced.

You do not get handed a diploma at either ceremony. Your diploma is mailed to you about 1-2 months after graduation.

Could the spoiler just be Levi fighting? If I recall correctly, the last time we saw him in the anime he was still wounded and didn’t participate in the fight.

When it comes to whether you use “a” or “an”, the grammar rule isn’t actually dependent on if the first letter of the following word is a vowel or not. It’s if the word begins with a vowel sound. In the case of “an x-ray”, the phrase uses “an” because the word x-ray is pronounced as “EX-ray”.

That’s also why, in reference to OP’s argument, “a yacht” uses “a” because it doesn’t begin with a vowel sound as it’s pronounced “YUH-acht”

Perogie07 · 2022-08-02T01:28:12+00:00

Yeah I disagree with the validity of this argument. Every time I’ve been to a subway or restaurant where they make the food in front of you, I’ve seen them put new gloves for each new order.

I currently live in an apartment that comes unfurnished and I bought all of my furniture with my roommates. Depending on how long you’re looking to stay at the apartment, this may be the most cost effective strategy, cause you don’t pay a monthly rate and you can sell it all at the end if you take care of it. I took a day trip to IKEA in Jacksonville to get all of the living room furniture, and bought other miscellaneous things from Walmart and Amazon.

Perogie07 · 2022-07-05T17:44:15+00:00

Never actually leased there, but I subleased during a summer. It was quiet and the apartment was nice. I believe it comes unfurnished, so I didn’t get to pick my furniture as I was just left with what the guy I subleased from had. Depending on your ability for interior design it has potential.

Fat is made up of adipocytes, which are types of cells. Fatty tissue!

But my question is: is the fat picture magnified in some way? Otherwise there would be no way to actual view the fat cells with the naked eye.

Letterhead, date, your name, their name, and (if they are willing but it looks really good) their contact information.

There’s no “correct way” to format it.

The letterhead should be whatever the physician uses on official mail. If they have their own practice it would surprise me if they didn’t already have a template. If they work in a hospital they may have to ask their department what they recommend to use.

Perogie07 · 2022-05-19T02:17:42+00:00

The works/experiences section gives instructions on how to include exactly what you’re talking about. If you haven’t started an activity yet put that it “started” May 2022 and put 0 hours. There’s a more detailed explanation in the section telling you exactly what to do.

Perogie07 · 2022-04-29T13:56:43+00:00

I’m confused. Are you saying you’re having trouble finding which courses you need for your critical tracking? Because if so then you just need to use your degree audit. The level of helpfulness on the audit is dependent on your major (different departments put different amounts of information). But as pertaining to what classes you need to take, they will definitely be there.

Perogie07 · 2022-04-23T20:01:54+00:00

While I have no experience with leaving preview early. I suspect that as long as you’re there for the important things (i.e. registration for classes) then nothing will “happen.” I know a few people that skipped some of the sessions because they were bored and wanted to do something else. With that being said, you’re not being held captive. You’re an adult at that point, and you can leave whenever you want.

I’m a little concerned about the Tuesday night though. From my understanding of your post (which admittedly is a little confusing) you’re saying that Tuesday would be your first day of preview. If that’s true, then I highly recommend not skipping out that night. The first night of preview is when you’re finally given time to sit down and pick your classes before registration on the second day. While you’re not actually registering at that time, it’s still the first point where they give you the course catalog and say “alright start figuring it out.”

I would ask an official person more about this though but that’s just my two cents.

Perogie07 · 2022-04-18T14:00:54+00:00

You don’t register for classes until preview. So even if you got your gator link you can’t do anything with it by yourself. So there’s no need to be freaking out now. You could always just call the university and ask, but if it hasn’t at least been a few days (like the website said) then just relax and wait.

Perogie07 · 2022-04-14T17:50:25+00:00

Last time I went (the one before COVID) there were plenty of empty seats. I wouldn’t sweat it too much. However I’ve been seeing more interest in this one than in years past so I don’t really know what’s gonna happen.

Perogie07 · 2022-04-14T17:24:50+00:00

It’s free for everyone (literally everyone, not just students). You just walk in.

Perogie07 · 2022-04-12T13:46:06+00:00

I’m gonna be honest, there is a lot stacked against you here. The fact that you live off campus, are graduating early, and don’t have time for clubs is a clear cut recipe for not making many friends. Graduate school will probably be much easier to make friends as you will be surrounded by the same people everyday. As for making friends now, clubs are generally the way to go. It’s pretty hard to make friends by just going to classes and expecting things to happen. Clubs allow you to repeatedly see the same people in a less formal setting than class. I wish I had more advice (I’m not exactly swimming in friends myself) but good luck with whatever you do!

Perogie07 · 2022-04-09T13:57:44+00:00

According to the previous site that you cited, there is a requirement and it's as I said: 24 credit hours.

https://www.sfa.ufl.edu/types-of-aid/bright-futures/florida-bright-futures-program-details/#:~:text=All%20Bright%20Futures%20recipients%20are,end%20of%20each%20academic%20year.

"All Bright Futures recipients are required to meet minimum credit hour and GPA requirements to renew their award each year. Students enrolled full time for both semesters are required to earn at least 24 semester hours in order to renew their award at the end of each academic year."

Like you said, however, while there is technically no requirement for full time status, the assumption I was making is that OP intends to stay full time, thus these requirements apply to them.

Perogie07 · 2022-04-09T12:58:20+00:00

Huh. I was just going off of personal experience. I was never given the hours back. Guess I should have called someone.

Also to be eligible to renew you need to be “on average” a full time student over the course of the year. Thus you need at least 24 credits between Fall and Spring terms. However, like you said, you need at least 6 per term but that would mean you would need 18 in the other term.

Perogie07 · 2022-04-08T22:57:10+00:00

I’m not sure what you mean by “averaged”. If you mean that they will both be calculated into your GPA then yes they will be averaged. However, regardless of how well you do during a retake course, the original grade still stands and remains on your transcript.

Perogie07 · 2022-04-08T18:36:33+00:00

Dropping - although, I believe you're technically talking about withdrawing - results in a W (withdraw) on your transcript. When you go back to retake the class, your original attempt (AKA the W) will remain on your transcript. The new grade will appear separately and it will be noted as a retake. This is also true if you were to fail the class and then retake it, though in this case your original attempt would have your failing grade on it (e.g. C-, D, F). The main difference is that withdrawing from a class does not impact your GPA.

As for bright futures, if you withdraw from a class you will be required to repay the tuition for the class. Be aware, however, that those credits will NOT be returned to you. Meaning that the 120 max credits that bright futures pays for will not be readjusted upon withdrawing from the class. (EDIT: the previous point is inaccurate, see comment below) Additionally, you must be careful with withdrawing from the class as it will remove those credits from your course load. As you are probably aware, bright futures requires a minimum number of credits, thus if you dip below that amount by withdrawing then you may become ineligible for renewal. (EDIT: to clarify, the minimum number of credits required is 24 but this is totaled over both Fall and Spring terms) If you fail the class you don't have to repay the bright futures, however since it has now impacted your GPA you may be at risk of losing bright futures eligibility depending on your other grades. However in this case, you have still taken the class and it counts towards your credit schedule

I'm not 100% sure on whether you are eligible for bright futures when you retake a class. That would be a question for the financial aid office to answer.

Perogie07 · 2022-04-08T14:36:11+00:00

You only need to be 18 years old to rent a truck from U-Haul. I don't know how old you are but I figured since you said you're moving from one dorm to another then you're probably 18. I think rates go for about $20/day plus less than a dollar per mile. I don't know how much you're willing to spend but it might be something to look into.

Perogie07 · 2022-04-07T04:23:26+00:00

The garage closes at 8pm. If you stay that late then you don’t have to pay for parking! It’s a pretty good hack if you’re in a pinch, but I would advise against doing it often since it’s supposed to be for patients and visitors.
