And Two More Gators
A Grandson from Jacksonville and a Granddaughter from Kissimmee. The Granddaughter has been taking dual enrollment courses and will already have enough credits to be a sophomore.
The Grandson was accepted to an Engineering program in conjunction with Santa Fe College. He will spend three or so semesters there then take the rest of his courses at UF. After successful completion of the first semester at Santa Fe he would be an official UF student but still take courses at Santa Fe for two more semesters.
We are super proud of these two and will have two more reasons to attend the football games this fall.
I am also proud of the University of Florida as they have put programs in place that will allow more Florida students to get in UF.
Pardon the length of the post but we are proud Grandparents.

Thanks all, we had heard so much about how hard it was to get into UF that we weren't overly optimistic and would have been happy if one of them made it.
We are overjoyed that both did.
That will make three generations.
