Clubs When to start a club

I know Club Fair already passed -- can I still create a club? Should I wait for the spring semester, or even next year?

Admissions Could I get in??? 1560 sat 4.375 GPA

0 Upvotes

I’ve been stressing about whether I’m going to get in or not, Uf is basically the only school I wanna go to atp. I applied in state and early decision.

Every AI (which I know probably isn’t the best method) has told me I have like a 30-35% chance of getting in but that seems a bit insane.

I have a 1560 sat and a 33 act (which I accidentally reported lol). Unfortunately, I got a lot of Bs in sophomore year and only have a 4.375 which is why I’m worried. My class rank is only like 110/580 which is far from the median to UF. My extracurriculars are above average and my essays were pretty good, but I’m worried that they’ll disregard my application bc of my gpa. I’m in IB and have taken 9 aps.

Has anyone been rejected with similar stats?

Classes FOS4311 Food Chemistry

2 Upvotes

Hi! Can someone tell me more about the Food Chemistry class and how hard it is? I am a microbio major, so I don't necessarily need to take it, but I am interested in getting into food science. Also, how's the lab for it? I think it would be interesting to do a class in the pilot plant. Thanks!

Classes UF Job posting with (potential) spelling error, and discrepancy. Need answers from employees at UF

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

**Job no:**538823
**Work type:**Staff Full-Time
**Location:**Main Campus (Gainesville, FL)
**Categories:**Facilities Operations/Skilled Trades, Veterinary Medicine/Animal Care
**Department:**63400200 - FS-BLDGSRVC OPERATIONS-EG

I'm ensuring my research is accurate; UF ranks 34 out of all universities in the United States, yes? So I just glance at their job postings for >>let me mind you no more than 2 minutes<< and I have spotted at least 1 thing requiring a UF employee to ensure my detail-analysis is not wrong, whilst the rest are just really bad job description grammar.

Here are my criticisms and grievances:

- Grievance 1. On the first stanza of the job description, it should print the following in quote to be grammatically accurate without subtracting the job application's original wording:

"Cleans and maintains on a daily basis all halls, offices, shops, classrooms, restrooms, conference rooms, labs, gym areas, locker rooms, and elevators, which includes: sweeping, dusting, dust-mopping, wetmopping, spot-mopping, reconditioning of floors and spot washing and cleaning of walls, doors, and partitions.".

The only other alternative is for HR or whoever proofread this job posting (to be immediately drug and alcohol tested) re-work this job description, or just get someone who can (like me) do it for free and better than all of your staff and HR combined. Then hire me, and watch all the clown shows start packing up and moving away.

- Discrepancy 1: is it "striping" or stripping? The job description on stanza 2 is clearly communicating the floor maintenance standards and expectations. I've done industrial cleaning and I've never heard of "striping" unless you're painting striped lines on blacktop, asphalt, or concrete. I need clarification from HR and related leadership on this wording. If it's "striping", then ignore this discrepancy. If it's "stripping", PLEASE do a delta tango (drug test) on whoever was leadership, HR, proofread and approved this job application.

- Grievance 2. Please view the "special instructions to applicants:" partition of the job posting. Tell me dear netizens, tell me what is wrong with this following sentence:

"Multiple vacancies will be fill from this posting.]".

What in the five flying skies is a right bracket doing in a job posting? The ] is NOWHERE near the period key. Fire ALL HR, leadership, and replace them all with Gen Z with Bachelor's or Master's degrees RIGHT NOW. You better know ninth grade English if you're mandating it on a job and my livelihood as the applicant, depends on you not flunking school at the rate of a15-year-old.

I hope HR reads this reddit post of mine, hires me, and puts me in charge of leadership. This is unacceptable from a top 30 university. All HR here needs a drug and alcohol test NOW and every 30 days/1 calendar month (to include months like February). I know my stuff, if I do my job wrong I get fired. Why do you get to do your job wrong and not get fired? Hire me. I don't get the excuse of flunking school, my dad didn't allow it.

Also this is a facilities position, you should encourage your employees to use the NATO alphabet and have a complete understanding of military time. What if someone is on the radio and you need to distinguish B, V, E, T, Q? If your employees do not know the Julian Calendar, the NATO alphabet, and military time, I demand all HR and leadership be FIRED, and put me in charge and watch this entire campus be SPOTLESS. I mean military sarge spotless.

Social Friends/groups

Hey i’m not sure if this is the right place to find this. But i’m a fourth year transfer student that has also done a study abroad semester while enrolled at UF. Meaning I haven’t actually been at UF for the majority of my undergrad. I’ve started to realize that i’m not as connected with groups or student life as i’d like. I’d love to get involved with some groups in terms of going out and spending time with others. Any suggestions or groups that would like to take me under their wing? If it matters i’m a 22 m biology premed. I frequent the gym, have started calisthenics recently, i love travel, photography, going to bars, etc etc. Please help me out here. I feel too cooped up at the moment and could really use some more friends.
