Tips for Getting In
  • Apply for Early Decision if Florida is where you want to go.
  • Apply for Summer B term.
  • Develop good study habits because you will need to study in college.
  • Do not take any classes lightly in high school-work hard.
  • Get involved in high school!
  • Get to know your teachers so they can write well-written recommendation letters.
  • Schedule a campus tour.
  • Show leadership capabilities.
  • Write an engaging entrance essay to show your personality.
Things I Wish I Knew Before Coming To School
  • "Oh, I'll just transfer to UF if I don't like it at [insert other school name here]." It's a lot easier said than done. UF is not a big fan of underclass transfers, which basically means if you started at another school and have less than two years worth of work done there, you need a 3.9 overall high school GPA and a stellar SAT score before UF will even consider letting you in. Of course, after you've made it past those first two years, it's a whole lot easier to become a Gator-if you haven't already gotten used to your own school by then . . .
  • During the first few days at the beginning of each semester known as the "drop/add period," people change their schedules a lot. It's very possible that the course you were dying to get into but which was already full will open up a little at this point. Use ISIS to put yourself on a wait list for the class, and don't forget to put yourself back on every morning until the end of drop/add-the system empties the lists every night.
  • It's OK to change your major, and there's a good chance you will. Fortunately, you can study just about anything at UF, so it's not like you'll have to change schools or anything.
  • Most of the kids at this school are from Florida, which means not much more than a six-hour drive home, tops. Some people make that drive every weekend, but the problem is that leaving town every few days is a good way to prevent yourself from learning what's cool about G'ville or getting used to life on your own. Don't go home for at least a month after you first get there, and even after that, don't ditch campus for the weekend more than once every several weeks or so.
  • The campus is positively enormous. Get a map-you can pick them up in the Hub.
  • There are two main "money" offices at UF-Student Financial Affairs and University Financial Services. Though it seems like their names may as well be interchangeable, they are definitely not: SFA is the office that likes to give you money (financial aid), and UFS is the office that likes to take it away (they send you the bills.) Fortunately, they're right next to each other, so if you head to the wrong one, the other is only a few steps away.
Interviews & Information Sessions
Prospective students can participate in information sessions at the UF Welcome Center in Reitz Union. The sessions runs at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturdays at 10 a.m.
Campus Tours
Campus tours are done every day, excluding holidays and football game days (why would you want to take a tour when you can be in "the Swamp" cheering on the Gators?). Tours are conducted at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., Monday through Friday, and at 10 a.m. on Saturdays. Families of students should meet in the J. Wayne Reitz Union on the first floor in the Welcome Center. Tours are led by current UF students.
Overnight Visits
If you are looking for a place to stay, Reitz Union offers hotel rooms on the fifth and sixth floors. It is a great place to stay since the tours start on the first floor, bright and early in the morning. Also, you can grab a Starbucks coffee on the first floor to give you the energy you need to complete the tour!
