  1. I can't say for sure about your program but I did get accepted at UCF and I'm an international student. During the group interview, they kept stressing that they wanted a more diverse student population at the school. I think if you were one of the few out of state applicants, you might have a good chance. However if the majority of the applicants are from out of state, then i dont think it makes any difference. Good Luck!
  2. From my experience, I have noticed that the bigger schools with higher rankings take longer to make decisions. All my safety schools have already sent decisions but the 3 top schools that I applied to told me they will begin reviewing the applicants after March 1st. So dont lose hope!!
  3. Once you accept, you gotta go there. Best to wait
  4. It is a service that converts international transcripts into the US grading system's equivalent. We don't have a credit system and our marks are based on a percentage system instead of a gpa. The agencies that provide this service charge around $200 to do it. USF does seem to be the only college that wants the applicants to get this done. Other colleges have an evaluator hired by the college that does it for them. The applicant doesn't have anything to do with it.
  5. I was wondering if anyone knows approximately how long it take to recieve an acceptance/rejection after an interview? One university accepted me less than 4 days after my interview. The second, its been almost a month since the interview and I've heard nothing. Is that a bad sign?
  6. i would not contact them if I were you. Don't say anything about other offers. I have a feeling that might push you down the list. Man I think schools are getting meaner as time goes by
  7. I have one by logitech think its c110. I have done two interviews through skype so far and its worked really well.
  8. i'm re-reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
  9. My time in Curernavaca, Mexico had such a profound affect ( effect)on me I signed up for a second study abroad trip As one of six to graduate high school with a diploma--- do you mean one of six children?? i would re-phrase that coz its not very clear Moreover, I understand the PsyD in Counseling Psychology has a lot of demands All the best!!
  10. i used kaplan for everything and used barrons only for its extensive vocab list
  11. Omg! That's really awful. You could have sued them. But then again I know how horrible courts and lawyers can be. There has to be some place where we can complain or something. They can't just get away with this.
  12. FYI, I understand universities cannot force you to make a decision before April 15th.
  13. Yeah I understand accidents happen but they could have at least apologized. I'm not getting the evaluation done. I'm not spending $200 on a university that is so disorganized and cannot even accept that they made a mistake. I know I'm being petty but I just got an invite to interview with UCF and I heard that USF and UCF are rivals.... so take that!!!
  14. I applied to University of South Florida and had all my materials completed by the end of December. Around the second week of february, I get an email saying they want me to get my transcripts evaluated (I am an international applicant). I looked into the procedure of getting it done and found that it will cost me $200. I dont have that much money to spend right now and I was also weighing the benefit of spending so much on just one college application (none of the other universities I've applied to want this). So I replied back saying I need some time to look into it. I didnt get a reply from them. Exactly a week after, I get an email from the department saying I've been accepted and that I would have to make my decision by March 18. I was surprised but really happy as well. I emailed them back asking if the evaluation is still required. I get a reply the next day saying the acceptance letter was sent out in error. I still have to get the evaluation done for them to consider me. I am so mad!! How can they send out an acceptance letter "by accident"? Its just cruel. And she didnt even apologise in the email. How can such a big reputed university do something like this? Dont they understand how we put everything into these applications and lose our minds waiting to see if we got in? I'm worried now that the other two acceptances I got were also a mistake and they are suddenly going to email me saying it was a mistake Sorry for the long rant. I'm just so MAD!!! P.S- does something like this happen often in the US?
