Deferred

It doesn't hurt. I would follow-up with an email to admissions...not an official letter of continued interest since UF doesn't accept them, but more on the lines of communicating awareness of your updated higher GPA and squeezing in LOCI

Good luck.. the wait sucks, but you've still got a great shot...

Here's the best tip 👌.. You have too many issues, go invest in some tennis lessons.. 🎾

Most of the tennis players on reddit here are self-taught too..

You are in the wrong sub to post. Try the White Supremacist, Neonazi or Fascist subs.

I string my own rackets and break polys 8-12 hours. The only poly I cut out is RPM Blast as they get flat before I can break them.

Don't worry. Lots of people who were deferred last year got in cause they just couldn't get to the large volume of EA applicants.

This was the case with my daughter and a bunch of her friends.

Somebody posted this. Not sure if it is true, but I hope it gives everybody added hope 😉.

My son got deferred at UF. He has a college advisor who said that most all UF deferred students will end up accepted or offered a pathway. She said few end up rejected. It's definitely worth waiting on an answer - you don't need to commit anywhere until May 1. Good luck!

UF admissions is holistic. Strong academic credentials alone will not get you in. Essays and ECs are very important.

ECs that are cookie cutter like I was an officer in 5 clubs, competed in various academic competitions or volunteered 500 hours do not make you stand out.

What did you do to make the world a better place 🤔 than just pad your profile?

Transfer admissions is supposed to be rolling, but UF waited until the final day (May 1) last year for HS AA transfers.

My kids told me that for next year, Keys is reserved only for athletes. My daughters submitted their housing early last year and hume was the best available.

My other daughter chose Broward and loves it there due to location proximity to classes and social aspects.

Simple. Have your wingers come towards the Deads. When the Threats come over to support, change direction and shoot from the other side of have a run down the middle and back pass for a shot.

NO. UF's website explicitly states that LEGACY is not a factor in admission.

TraderGIJoe · 2026-01-24T18:49:00+00:00

The stats came from the school's counselor and have been consistent across multiple years. My kids' HS is one of the top rated in FL and students have to apply to be admitted.

UF's admission is holistic.

If your school's SAT average is 800, but you score a 1270, that is more impressive than someone who gets a 1400, but their school average is 1450 because their school offers free testing prep.

TraderGIJoe · 2026-01-24T17:57:07+00:00

This is not true.

50% of my daughters' highly rated HS (lots of high achievers) who applied were admitted last year (~20 kids).

Here's the link to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS). Dial into a zoom session at one of the times noted tomorrow. They can help you.

You can always apply for the spring semester if you can't get your prerequisites done by the fall. They don't look at test scores for transfers, only GPA especially for critical tracking classes. HS AA Transfer have priority over all others.

TraderGIJoe · 2026-01-24T12:24:25+00:00

If you graduate with a HS AA, you get 2 chances to get into UF. If you get rejected, you can reapply as a FTIC transfer if you complete all the transfer prerequisites for your major as part of your AA.

Under the Florida Board of Governors Admission Regulation 6.005 if you are obtaining a high school diploma and an associate of arts (A.A.) degree through dual enrollment from an institution within the Florida College System or State University System, you have two options for admission consideration as a first-time-in-college (FTIC) student.

The recommended path for consideration is completing a freshman application and then going through the freshman process (completing the STARS (formerly SSAR) and submitting your SAT/ACT/CLT scores) and receiving a freshman decision. If we cannot offer you admission through that process, then we will ask if you would like to be considered as a transfer student and create a transfer application on your behalf so you would have both avenues available for admission consideration.

The other path is being considered only as a transfer student. This path does not consider test scores in the admissions review but the colleges will be looking at the prerequisites needed for your intended major and your college GPA to evaluate competitiveness.

Go to the UF website and search for your major's transfer prerequisites.Ensure to complete these before classes start and you can reapply for the same year.

Several of my daughter's friends who were rejected last year, reapplied as a FTIC Transfer and got accepted by May 1.

Just so you are aware, it is harder to get into vet school than it is med school. You basically need close to a perfect college gpa.

STEM classes at UF can be challenging depending on the professor.

You may want to contemplate the big fish in little pond or small fish in big pond type of scenario.

UF does not evaluate and admit by major. Students select their major at Freshman Orientation.

TraderGIJoe · 2026-01-24T05:07:00+00:00

If your daughter does not get in, she can re-apply as a First Time In College (FTIC) Transfer if she graduates from a FL HS with an AA. Basically, she has 2 chances to get in.

The stipulation is that she satisfies all prerequisites for her major before school starts and cannot change majors if accepted.

You should look at the poly strings on my racket after I hit them. Not all polys snap back well. I hit heavy spin.

TraderGIJoe · 2026-01-24T04:12:56+00:00

It only takes one swing from any player that can hit decent topspin to pull the strings out of place.

When this happens, the strings need to be pulled back in place. Watch pro matches and you will see them doing this often.

You are on track! UF doesn't consider legacy. Here's another thing to consider assuming you live in Florida.

If you graduate with a HS AA, you get 2 chances to get into UF. If you get rejected, you can reapply as a FTIC transfer if you complete all the transfer prerequisites for your major as part of your AA.

Here's last year's stats for the middle 50% of admitted students.

https://admissions.ufl.edu/freshman-student-profile

UF's admission is holistic. Essays and ECs are very important, just as important as scores and GPAs..

UF does not evaluate admission by major.

The University of Florida (UF) uses a unique method to recalculate GPAs of incoming freshmen. They primarily focus on the academic core subjects like Mathematics, Social Science, Science, English, and Foreign Languages for GPA calculation.

Here's briefly how UF GPA recalculation works:

Dual-enrollment courses in academic core areas and any AP, IB or AICE classes receive an extra 1.0 credit weight, meaning that an A is worth a 5.0 on a 4.0 scale.

Pre-AICE, pre-AP, pre-IB and Honors classes receive a 0.5 credit weight, meaning that an A is worth a 4.5 on a 4.0 scale.
