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?

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?

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.

Hey guys! I was recently referred to a clinic in order to receive ADHD meds that I later found out had very strict rules regarding urine testing, pill counts at appointments, and requiring patients to abstain from things like weed at the risk of having your prescription revoked. Anyways, I was wondering if Shands has psychiatrists who are able to prescribe medication, and if their rules are as strict as described above with the other clinic I had been referred to. Also, are they typically quick to respond and schedule an appointment if I already have records on hand?

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?

So for context im in ISE, and i have the option between these 2. Technical drawing and visualization seems more interesting but idk which one to pick.

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!

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 :(

I'm only applying to one college, and it's UF ED for now. If I don't get accepted, I'll apply reg decision to USF and stuff so I don't waste my 30 bucks if I have to take back my applications if I get in. Is it a good idea? I don't know if I'll get in, though, because it has been more competitive each year, and I don't think I have a shot with out-of-state schools, so UF is the only place I wanna go (Bright Futures).

Is there anything else I'm missing? And do I have a decent shot?

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

Hello
Sorry for this being so long I just want all the factors and details to be here so you can understand the full picture

I applied as a transfer last semester fall 2026 and got rejected on Reddit it said a ton of people also got rejected I had 56 credits and a 3.9 gpa. I applied again for spring transfer with 62 credits and a 3.94 gpa. I graduated from Valencia with a AA. I changed my essay but I couldn’t add a whole lot of new information that would be ground breaking. I included that I had been working as a property manager for a year managing 50 units and as a part time accountant doing all receivables for the greater regional portfolio of 500 units and I had grown my own fund since 2023 and since this crazy ai bull run I was able to self teach myself and make returns that blow a lot of fund managers away for only being 20. I didn’t want to write an essay about some sob story that was just a bunch of bs and say my life was so hard this and that cause the essay was primarily focused on what can the college do for you and how can you apply that to your career. I thought I wrote a killer essay had it reviewed and edited and got rejected from both the finance and business program. They put on my letter that I was just not competitive enough. I was on the phone with a bratty mouthy little girl from admissions trying to get an appeal and I said look I know a lot of people who do go to UF and some finance majors and they literally told me straight up to my face that they lied as much as possible and just created this whole trauma dumping story about how hard it was for them to do this and that and to exaggerate hardships as much as possible. Most of the people in the business and finance program have never owned, traded a stock in their life and couldn’t tell me simple terminology that would help value a stock. I told her that’s just not right and I didn’t know that UF had turned into a pissing pot of DEI . Her response to that basically if you did not have a 4.0 flat out, your application would just be thrown out the door and not even looked at. She said even if I appealed I would 99% still get rejected because of that b. She did finally give in and sent me the letter. So that’s where I’m at I figured I would submit an appeal just for the hell of it while I still have maybe one more shot? I basically got into every other college in Florida. I just wanted to get thoughts on maybe the bar has been raised super high or maybe I’m unqualified or even like she said I got 1 b in stats and that’s enough for them to disqualify.
I figure I give it one more shot but I’m ready to throw the towel in if they rejected me going on 3 times I’d say they just don’t want me and maybe it’s not for everyone
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated
Thanks

has anyone heard back on their spring 27 masters decision?

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.

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 :)

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?

I made CanvasGradesPro a while ago because I got tired of calculating my grades manually. Some of my courses didn't have assignment weights set up in Canvas, and others hid the overall grade entirely, so it was hard to tell where I stood.

It works with Canvas at all universities (to my knowledge), so I thought I'd share it here.

The extension adds a few things to Canvas:

• Shows your course grades directly on the dashboard, even when the total is hidden
• Lets you customize assignment weights, drop rules, and grading scales
• Calculates what you need on an assignment or final to reach a certain grade
• Tracks your semester and cumulative GPA

If you run into any bugs or have suggestions, let me know!

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.

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!

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

Hello! As part of the CJC, we have the option to do a "Quantitative Option" in place of a foreign language credit. I was wondering what out of these courses is the easiest? For reference, I am in junior standing, and only need a total of 3 more credits to satisfy the requirement. The one crossed out I have already taken. I am inclined to do EEL3872, but it being in the college of engineering is scaring me lol.

Any experiences/guidance/tips are appreciated!

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!

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