8 out of 16 at UF is absolutely NOTHING to scoff at! You have several really strong houses on that list.

Don't be bummed, keep an open mind, don't rule out the houses that you say you're not all that interested in. You've only been through one round, where you only got to talk to a couple people, and were also really overwhelmed with everything going on.

How well can you know the houses after only one round?????? Unless you're also basing your opinions on "tent talk" (which from knowing people at UF there seems to be a lot of).

Have a good attitude- chipper up! If you're bummed or not thrilled, that's going to shine through. Not only will you have a better time with a positive attitude, but you'll make a great impression on the houses.

Good luck!
