CC Transfer to FSU

<p>I wanted to inquire about the 2+2 system and the DirectConnect program with UCF. I also wanted to know if there was any way I could know about how many credits the typical community college in Florida would be willing to offer given my AP scores. I know that you can't give specific numbers, but a range of credits could really help me in my decision making. I'm strongly considering the 2+2 system or the DirectConnect program with UCF because my family just recently received the news that my father was diagnosed with stage III lymphoma. Therefore, both time and money are two very valuable things at the moment.</p>

<p>Here's a list of my APs:</p>

<p>World History: 4
Spanish Language: 5
US History: 4
English Language: 4
Comparative Government and Politics: 3</p>

<p>I'm also taking plenty of APs this year, and I'd like to know, hypothetically, about how many credits I could get with the following scores (the following are just scores I feel are very possible):</p>

<p>Microeconomics: 4
Macroeconomics: 4 or 5
Psychology: 4 or 5
French: 4 or 5
Statistics: 3 or 4
United States Government: 4 or 5</p>

<p>And one last question: does college credit through AP credit affect my admission process to FSU via 2+2 system?</p>

<p>Thank so very, very, very much for your time!</p>

<p>While not every college within Florida will give the same number of credit hours, FSU would give you 48 (with a caveat that FSU limits you to 45 hours from test credit) for those test scores. I figure most community colleges would be within 1 class (3-4 credit hours) of that figure, whether high or low- so probably, 44-52.</p>

<p>So it would be very much possible to transfer from a community college after just a semester provided I’m awarded 45 credits?</p>

<p>It might be, really depending heavily on whether you have earned your AA degree or not after that one semester. It’s MUCH easier to get into FSU (can’t say much for other colleges, though I believe it’s generally the same) with an AA degree, as those applicants actually receive priority consideration. </p>

<p>If you get your AA from a community college within 1 semester, then yeah, it’s definitely possible to transfer after 1 semester. Otherwise, you might as well just go for 2 semesters (or however long until you get the AA).</p>

<p>Get you AA and take as many credits as possible at your community college related toyour major. Uni is not cheap and if you can take your gen. ed’s for much cheaper do it. Plus you have a much better chance of getting in w/ your AA.</p>

<p>Does going TCC and opposed to Seminole State make any difference?</p>

<p>I know my local community college have direct/guaranteed admission to UCF. However, all around, CC vs another CC shouldn’t be important, if you get a good GPA. </p>

<p>In order to transfer, I believe you need to finish the basic liberal arts requirements, ie: 2 years of english, humanities, foreign language, math, etc.</p>

<p>They will consider your SAT since you are transferring after 1 semester, so that will also will be important.</p>
