I did that, but I can't find floridahow is it listed? I clicked "reservations" and then "view/add" then "add a new distribution".
How do you get to "add (additional) programs"?
I haven’t but the college reopened today so I would think they’ll be sending them out in the next few days!
I received my interview date 1/14 last year. My interview was 1/22. Hope this is helpful! Happy first day of spring semester!
Congrats on being a DVM student at UF! I opted to take the CASPer test in February. Any information as to if it is considered a hinderance to take it closer to the time they would be making final decisions? Thank you in advance for your help.
I don’t think there would be any consequences, as I also took it in February and was accepted.

From my understanding, they do not. Here is a screenshot from their website; Hope it helps!
The practice tests definitely helped me become familiar with the test format, but I would suggest looking over more question types. Good luck!
They obviously see something in you! Don’t lose hope! Rock that interview!
Hey! I know the GPA cutoff the last few years has been super high :/ My cycle I believe it was 3.5 overall and science. I think a one year masters could be really beneficial for you, to raise your GPA and it would be super helpful in vet school. A lot of my classmates have masters in various topics.
How old are you?
25 in february
It would be worth it to get an MS in micro and it is a good choice for a solid job when complete. I personally have 2...one in life science (major vet parasit) and one in DNA/serology from UF and they're fairly worthless. I have a 3.8 in both of those and never am chosen for an interview. I am 53 now though and started applying at 46. Just make sure the choice is one you would be happy in as your back up! Also be aware that after you get an MS you are required to be licensed in many states (which is aquired through places like devry) to be able to apply for industry or hospital technician jobs.
A masters is my current plan but even then I'm concerned. My GPA is not awful as is and I have strong application otherwise so I'm not sure why UF is being exceptionally hard on me specifically considering I'm IS and an alma mater.
Who knows. I am also IS and like I said...have a 3.8 GPA. I have had file reviews and spoken to people that say everything is "good". Not many (if any) recommendations to revise, but here I am...this was my last cycle. I said that last year, but since I qualified for a free application I gave it another shot.
may I ask what your GPA is now? Have you workded on increasing it over the past 3 cycles?
i also do think it’s partially luck/a numbers game. i am oos but got flat out rejected from UF, didn’t even get an interview, despite having a really strong gpa, over 2000 hours of experience, etc. then i got accepted into csu. vet schools all get so many strong applicants. try not to get discouraged though! it sounds like you really want it, so i know you’ll make it happen
a masters could help, or do you have a good breadth of experience? they want that as well as hoursOverall is a 3.3, last 45 is a 3.6, science is a 3.2. I have increased my GPA since my last application.
I’m sorry 😞 I am also a third time applicant and I went to UF
Yea I think it’s 10%
Have you logged into the UF app portal recently? I logged in and it said my residency status remains undetermined despite my interview offer being for an IS seat.
Alex Avalino has a segment of how to prepare for the UF interview in the prevet podcast on Spotify! I think it was very helpful. Other than that, be yourself!
Do you know how many in-state seats they are offering this year?
