Another Chances thread Spring 2012

<p>I'm trying to transfer into UF CLAS from a CC.
Current GPA is 3.48, and after Spring grades have been posted hopefully a 3.58
Major: Psychology
I have some pre-reqs completed, but most will be done in the Summer
Didn't take SAT or ACT
I applied late January, and have been told I wont recieve a decision til August sometime. (Ahhhh the anticipation!!)</p>

<p>How do my chances look?</p>

<p>bump</p>

<p>Can someone please tell me if I have a shot? :(</p>

<p>I think you have a fair shot.</p>

<p>After this semester I’ll have a 3.62, thank you for answering
I guess I’ll have to wait for a accepted/rejected spring 2012 thread to start x_x</p>

<p>How many credits do you have?</p>

<p>As of right now, I have 35.
Taking an additional 15 over the summer, and getting the Associates in the fall :)</p>

<p>did you find out yet? i also applied for spring 2012.</p>

<p>Hi everyone, I just wanted to know did anyone received an acceptance letter yet from the University of Florida for spring 2012.Do I have a good chance of getting in with a 3.45(GPA)/3.8(Prereq).Major=Mechanical Engineering.No I did not find out yet but a decision should be made by October.</p>

<p>To the original poster - you have a good GPA, but I know that for Fall 2011 they had to “cap” psychology admissions, because so many people apply who go above and beyond the requirements for admission. I went to Santa Fe last year, and I am going to be starting at UF in the fall, so I know a good amount about all of the majors. This one is very popular. One of my classmates who has a fairly strong GPA (similar to yours, but not quite as high) was denied admissions to psychology for this very reason, because they had to put a cap on it. She was referred to the sociology major, and got into that one instead. Not her first choice, but she decided she would take it. However, this was for fall, and not spring - I think your chances are very good, but I just wanted to give you some warning.</p>

<p>What about a 3.5 (will be 3.6 in the fall) coming from a FL public 4-year? 3.9 in the major/critical tracking. Will have 65 credits done before entering. I’ll also be finishing up 2 pre-reqs in the fall, but I called and they said it would not be a problem.</p>

<p>Are my chances decent? I know most people come from CCs, so I don’t know what to think.</p>

<p>Edit: for political science spring 2012, junior transfer.</p>

<p>Currently, I have a 3.72. By the end of Fall hopefully a 3.8. Thank you for all the info on the psychology admissions ufhopeful! I always thought I had greater chances cause of an article I read about UF increasing the number of transfer students admitted for 2011-2012! </p>

<p>How nice is it over there? I haven’t been able to visit the campus, and been waiting 8 months for the decision!!! I can’t wait to see you on campus (hopefully)~ :)</p>

<p>Hey there, Silvari! I think that your chances for spring are excellent, seeing as how you already have a great GPA, and especially since less people apply! However, you also need to remember that there are also less spots available, too. I think you should be fine, but I did want to tell you that about the psychology department just to give you some warning. It’s also important to remember my friend still got in, she just had to go in a different major. </p>

<p>Your GPA at the end of fall will not matter, because they will accept you based on your GPA before fall grades come in. The only way it will matter is if you are still taking prerequisites - often, your college will have conditions of admission, and if you are taking a prerequisite, typically you have to get a B or better, or your admission will be rescinded. </p>

<p>I don’t know anything about that website, I’ve never heard of it, so I’m not sure how accurate all of that is. But I love Gainesville. I have lived here for the past year, attending Santa Fe, as I already told you, and I am so glad I got to live here for a year before transferring. I know the area very well, have met a ton of people from both Santa Fe and UF, and I think I’ll be a lot more comfortable when I start at UF in the fall. The campus and surrounding town are beautiful, and filled with history, and it’s a really unique area. It’s pretty southern, too - you know how they say in Florida, you have to go further north to experience the real south? Well, it’s true. It doesn’t even look like Florida, sometimes - with all of the hills and pretty trees, it looks a lot more like Georgia to me. The buildings on campus are all so pretty, and I LOVE that they get real fall in Gainesville, where leaves change and stuff. I’m from south Central Florida, so even though it’s still the same state, it still feels pretty different. I really recommend visiting the campus - it’s way different from UCF, or USF.</p>

<p>To the person who asked about political science: I do not know much about that major, but I know a few people who applied. 3.9 in the critical tracking sounds good, but it is definitely harder coming from a 4 year school so I really can’t give you any advice or anything.</p>
