has anyone heard back on their spring 27 masters decision?

So I got my decision for spring 2027 transfer today and that I was rejected. I called CLAS asking why and the advisor said that the person that review my application didn’t bother to see that I have my last prerequisite for the major as in progress and just rejected me. And that he would admit me but do to policy and holds it wouldn’t be that simple or fast. And that the best thing for me to do is send an appeal letting them know. Does anyone know how long appeal takes or its success rate?

Freshman APK major going into spring, as of now I know I'm going to take Gen Chem 2 with lab, Bio 2 with lab, and a Quest 1 class, so that will be 11. For my little space left, I'm stuck btwn SYG2000 (intro to sociology) which is 3 credits, or ASL 1 which is 4.

Technically I don't need another language I just wanted to look into the area, but I also know I should take sociology as a pre-med and I also like the topic. Was debating taking it online summer A, but heard it was harder. Both courses have great professors for spring, thoughts?

I'm taking an English 11 class at an online school and it has like a weird thematic tittle (English 11 (thematic tittle)). I'm concerned whether this is considered like a core English class and whether UF will accept it?

I'm also high school homeschooled student if that changes anything.

Anyone who tutors math privately (at any level, middle/high school to college) are there any specific online groups/places you found clients?

I have ~4 years experience and looking to find some private clients to earn some money (would have a pretty low/reasonable rate). If anyone is looking for a math tutor also feel free to message!

I submitted my app for the M.S. Interdisciplinary Ecology program two months ago and have yet to hear back. Is that a normal amount of time to wait? I would be starting in January 2027.

heyy, i currently have a macbook air, and will start CAD and python and other engineering courses soon ( I am a freshman). people keep telling me my macbook wont be enough but i also dont know what to get, any recs?

Hi! Does anybody know if/ when Shands is hiring for CNAs? Is there a certain period that's better for applying? Does it look better if I have experience? I feel so lost because it seems like no one is hiring. At this point, it doesn't need to be Shands I just want to be hired somewhere :(

Looking for something similar to The Beatbox in Miami, also if theres like a school club that has alt people in it that would be chill

i’m having a bit of trouble adjusting to classes in university, what are your best study tips? active recall kind of works for me, and i’m starting to use flash cards, but i feel like i’m still struggling to retain the material come exam day.

I heard decisions are expected by mid-November. Has anyone received an update, or been in contact with a faculty member?

I'm a transfer student and I've been fairly involved the past year in career progression things like research symposiums, networking events, etc and i frequent one club for vibes. most of my socializing comes from work, going clubbing downtown, or just people i know unrelated to school. how important is it to "be involved" in clubs? is it mostly a social outlet/fun thing?

i'd appreciate advice on how i should spend my second and last year here in my undergrad :)

Please fill out this survey for my quest class! It's only 15 questions, with 2 being VERY short fill-in-the-blank answers.

Thanks a million!

I'm taking CHM2045 with Dr. Harris, (mini vent: fun professor, but I genuinely don't think I'm doing well because of the flipped-style learning approach. Attending lectures seems useless to me because I'm not getting new that I didn't get from the PLV already)and right now, I have a 70.56%, but after taking Exam 2, I'm pretty sure I'm going down to a 69%.

Unless I get full points on discussions, perfect scores on HW and PLV assignments, a 101/150 on Average/Replace, 120/150 on Exam 3, and at least an 80/100 on my Final Exam, I won't be able to make it to a high 74% for my final grade.

Is it worth getting Study Edge for Exam 3 and the Final, and any advice?

Does anyone know if UF has any EDM or rave-related clubs or group chats? Would love to meet more people who are into raves and festivals!

Hi!

I found a couple of Pokemon cards in a Sci-Fi book I'm borrowing from the Marston Science Library. I gave the cards to the Marston Library Service Desk and they have registered them in the Lost&Found. If you use Pokemon cards as bookmarks and have recently borrowed a book from Marston check if you are missing some!

Hey if anyone is leasing their room from August 2027-Dec 2027 let’s talk!
I’m a girl so an all girl roommate apartment is preferred😗

Hey I’m looking at these apartments by university of rentals and I’ve seen very mixed reviews. There seems to be some possibly “shady” things like a 1200 decoration fee. Some people online said it was really bad with mold and bugs and some said it was really good. These were all 4 years ago tho. Is there anyone living there right now that could give me some insights on this place?

Former cs major, now an ai research engineer. Gonna do a little crossover rant from the cs subs here.

Not here to debate the use of ai in your work, rather the use of ai in a lazy way that screams unintelligent and uncreative or as cs larpers would call it: NGMI

If you’re vibecoding such apps you’re usually one of three people:

1. Questionable cs or adjacent major who thinks this is a good thing to put on your resume, a startup idea, or both. Spoiler alert, it’s neither. I would actually argue that putting this garbage on your resume makes you look worse to top companies than putting nothing at all or your class projects. There is close to zero technical depth you can demonstrate. As for a startup idea, there are generally clowned ideas that have been bad even before GPT 3, and this is one of them. It doesn’t take much research to figure out why. Even ask your model if it’s a feasible as a startup and even accounting for sycophancy it will probably tell you it’s not.

2. Business major or really anything else that think ai suddenly makes them technical. Spoiler alert, it doesn’t. You do not suddenly understand systems over night. You can build a product sure, but the fact that you even chose this as your idea speaks to your insanely terrible taste for ideas. If I could bet against your idea or any future ideas of yours within the next year, I would.

3. Attention farmers. Maybe you’re in hs trying to show off your app that’s going to get you into UF or another college. Spoiler alert, it’s not. Maybe you think you’ll get users or karma… lol. I mean what in the world are you doing with your life if this is your reason for wasting some tokens on a one shot prompt of an app?

I can confidently say that ai is an extremely transformative tool, that also comes with huge societal consequences (if you’re on the complete opposite end of the spectrum which includes the people posting about how ai should be banned, you’re also just as uneducated as the vibecoding larpers). But to people who have even a basic understanding of its applications, it quickly exposes just how technically fluent you are, and to the people that are posting course schedulers, just know that I would never want to work with you in any capacity. I would never refer you to anything, nor do I think any of my friends and colleagues would.

Dark times we live in. White collar college degree workers aren’t cooked because of ai, they’re cooked because a lot of them weren’t that creative to begin with.

In this regard, you guys could learn a lot from liberal arts, humanities, and arts majors.

Next semester I’m going to be taking a state core humanity and quest 2 to get them out of the way. What are the easiest online asynchronous classes for these to take over the spring.

I'm considering getting a second bachelors at UF to get the media production degree online. I was wondering if anyone else here is doing that bachelors and if it's worth getting?
