Ok, we know it's really hard to get into UF and that it's like waiting on pins and needles to find out whether admissions folks decided you're smart enough to be a Gator, a member of the state's flagship.
But this Web site is kind of crazy.
Not sure who put this up, but it's essentially a one-page Web countdown to the time when would-be students can log in and find out whether they got in. (By the time some of you read this, the countdown to the admissions decisions, released tonight, will be over)
And then there's this chat board where students have been posting their anxieties and hopes for UF all day. Kind of makes us college graduate Gradebook posters glad we got into college when we did. Because it seems a lot harder and more stressful these days...
Get inside the world of Florida education with St. Petersburg Times staff writer Jeffrey S. Solochek and the rest of the Times education reporting team. We'll bring you up-to-date information about the latest education trends, fads and news and dig deep into Tampa Bay area school issues.

To Mr. Go Bulls...is that why the head of NASA is a UCF grad? Because last I checked no one in high places is a USF grad...boo hoo to you inferior BULL!
I remember the 80's when all you needed was a pulse and a SS number to get into USF..but of course that was way before your time.
Just making a point... that academics is not all that your 4 years will be...it does include LIVING IN HABITABLE HOUSING AND SOME SORT OF SOCIAL LIFE OUTSIDE OF SPORTS!

And it is nice to have some place like Shands at UF to go to when you become part of yet another fight somewhere on campus that leaves rough marks on a student.
Especially since the hospital bases rates on a person's income if they don't have medical insurance. Makes it a touch easier to deal with when you don't have to finance it... just drop by the student infirmary during the day or Shands ED at night.

UCF is a joke give me a break! You guys should build a waterpark instead of a Medical School. Your academics are terrible.
