Hough Class of 2016 Calling all applicants!

I am sorry to hear that. Try emailing appstatus@warrington.ufl.edu with your status request. I believe that email will forward your request to the appropriate person. If a decision has not been made on your file, feel free to send a brief email explaining that you are still interested and excited to receive your admissions decision.

I have not received the admit yet. I just wrote the GMAT on March 1st, so I'll be playing the waiting game for a while. Good luck!

I've started working on my essays. I was wondering how detailed the responses to the short answer question and "tell us about you" sections should be? Should I treat these as essays or are they more informational in nature?

I don't know if there is any one right answer to this question. Essentially, you need to create an attack plan for these essays that you think will help the AdCom distinguish you from other candidates. I had a bit of a mix. A few of my essays are more broad to give the AdCom an idea of how well-rounded I am, while others paint a more specific picture for them to remember.

Hi DirtyMagic,

Adcom has mailed me that they have sent me decision letter and will be reaching soon at my address.

DO they some times give admit without interview as well ???

or I am dinged for sure ???

I am confused ...

I cannot make any statements for the AdCom. While I have not personally heard of someone being accepted without an interview, I cannot say it's impossible. Right now, your best bet is to just wait and see. I know it's tough not to read into everything. I'm in the same position. I interviewed last week, and I got an uneasy feeling after I was finished. I am playing the waiting game right now too. Good luck.

Was dinged last Friday. Would have updated sooner, but I was really upset about it. I interviewed via Skype, and I will never do that again. I recommend no one interview via Skype unless you have no other choice. The member of the AdCom who interviewed me came off as disinterested in what I had to say. In fact, he didn't even have my file on-hand. I know he probably wasn't actually disinterested. It's just the nature of Skype.

Anyways, I have already started preparing for the re-application process. I will be working on improving my GMAT and enhancing my essays this summer. Good luck to all who are still applying. UF is still accepting applications.

Just a quick update that UF is still accepting applications for both the 1-year and 2-year traditional programs. There is space available if there are any last minute GMAT takers out there.

I suggest contacting the career services department to discuss companies that recruit UF students for internships and employment. UF is huge on fit, as well as what they can offer you. They aren't going to accept a student if they don't think they can help them.
