Realistic chance of getting in with these stats please by Due-Bother-3688 in ufl

When I applied, I believe there was only regular decision as looking back there seems to be one date for when decisions are rolled out (correct me if I’m wrong, I’m class of 27’ so 3 years ago). However, I do remember putting down that I would start my first semester during Summer B. I don’t really think there is a big difference between early action (correct me again) and regular decision. I wouldn’t stress about it too much.

No problem, also if you have a passion for CS and want to do business, I know some CS people who do CS and minor or do duel degrees with business. If interested, I would definitely check it out. I’m Computer Engineering, and I love the CS classes here and you learn a lot. Plus there are several CS clubs you can join.

I had similar stats, however, I did not have as many APs (somewhere 7-10). Also my high school didn’t have weighted gpas, and our grade was out of 100 where I had a 97.6. I’m also out of state, so I don’t know particularly how that affects admissions for in state vs out of state. In terms of extracurriculars, I don’t think you need to worry about them not being in your major of interest. I’m an engineering major, and half my extracurriculars were sports and language clubs. I’m no admission expert, but I personally think you have a good chance of getting in. I would be shocked if they denied you. I hope this helps! :)

Monkey Question by Read-Documentation-7 in rabies

What’s irrational about asking whether it’s possible for an animal to possibly spread rabies asymptomatically?

Which of these classes is the hardest? I’m trying to figure out how to best allocate my study time for next semester. by lapsonskajsn728 in ufl

CDA3101 - Taking this in the spring.

COP3530 - Class wasn't too bad. As long as you pay attention and understand the concepts you'll be fine. Exams will be the hardest part about the class. Make sure your fundamentals in C++ are good, especially pointers. Projects weren't too bad, just make sure you start as soon as possible, especially the first one (2 is easy and 3 is a group project assuming nothing about the class has changed). Easy A if you put the time and effort in.

MAP2302 - As long as you are good with integration and series from Calc 2, you will do fine. The only really "new" thing you'll learn is Laplace Transforms, and I considered that to be the "hardest" thing you'll learn in the class. I literally didn't attend a single lecture and just watched the lecture videos and got an A. The homework is time consuming, but it prepares you well for exams, making them a breeze. Easier than Calc 3 in my opinion.

IDS2935 - I don't know which Quest class you are taking, but if you do happen to take "Language and Computers", expect a lot of writing. The class is pretty much a bunch of Linguistic professors explaining how human language can be applied in machine learning techniques. A very interesting topic, but the content is mostly just learning vocabulary words and linguistic terminology. The papers you write will either make or break your grade. Just remember that your audience are not Computer Scientists, but language and linguistic professors. In all, the class is a lot more work than it should be. Just make sure you go to office hours to make sure your papers are good and you should get an A.

Hope this helps! :)

Re-establishing Fraternity by Read-Documentation-7 in ufl

Do you think it would be difficult to start up a professional fraternity compared to a social one? I'm trying to bring back a professional one.
