<p>I'm studying to get a degree in computer science/computer engineering hardware. I'm currently going to a local community college to get my A.A and prerequisites. It has taken me far to long to get them and I've already had to get an appeal from my financial aid office. Apparently they felt my reasons were legitimate enough so thankfully I still have that. </p>
<p>It looks like I will have to get my general A.A. first though, then pay out of pocket for the 6 or so prerequisites that I'll have left afterwords. They won't give me financial aid money over 90 credit hours for an A.A. degree. Not even sure if this is viable. </p>
<p>My gpa is currently a 3.2 with grade forgiveness for a communications 2 class. UCF's website says they recognize grade forgiveness only if it is part of a A.A. degree. I have another F grade in an education course otherwise it would be higher. I really hope they take into account upwards trends in effort and motivation. If I can maintain my grades through out the rest of my classes over the next year and a half I'd be around a 3.4 gpa including the grade forgiveness for the communications course. I'm not assuming I'll get all "A" in these classes either. I've factored in around 4 "B" grades as well.</p>
<p>My question is, what is the likeliness I'll get into UCF's computer science/engineering program with these grade? I hear it is getting more competitive and I'm worried. Thank you for your time and consideration.</p>
