<p>I will be a senior this year, and I really want to get accepted at UF. However, I am really worried that it won't happen. So what do you think?</p>
<p>GPA UW:3.9something
GPA W: 4.5ish (that's not the UF recalculation though)
SAT:1200 :( But the good news is that I've only taken it once, and I'm taking it again soon. </p>
<p>EC's:
-Teen Trend Setters mentor for 2 years so far.
-SGA Treasurer, President, VP, and President this year again.
-Varsity Basketball for 3 years, captain this year.
-Varsity Cross Country for 2 years
-Varsity Soccer this year.
-I placed third in a national mock trial competition.
-I was elected "Governor" of Florida at a state-wide government class/camp in Tallahassee (it's a lot like 4-H legislature).
-I've had a part-time job for the past year.
-I have more, but those are the big ones. </p>
<p>Now here's where my situation gets somewhat unique.... I'm homeschooled, but I've been taking dual enrollment courses almost full time. I will have my A.A. in Pre-Law by December (a few months before I graduate high school) with a 3.9 GPA from Pensacola Junior College. I want to major in political science, if that makes a difference.</p>
<p>So does having my A.A. boost my chances?
How does my college GPA compare to other admitted transfers from community colleges?
When should I apply?</p>
<p>First of all, you should apply anytime before the deadline. It was November 1st last year, I'm not sure what it is this year.
Since you will have your AA degree before you potentially enroll at UF, you will be considered both by Freshman standards and Transfer standards. Are you planning to only spend two years at UF (the remaining two)?
Your stats are looking good, actually. I know a guy that got in with <1200 and a lower GPA than yours, so you should be fine.</p>
<p>My friend did his last year of high school at the local university as dual enrollment. He got into UF as a graduating senior (not a transfer) and qualifies for Bright Futures (all 120 credits of it). He's taking two classes this summer at UF (not covered by Bright Futures) and will be technically a Jr in the Fall. Before you apply you should find out which option is better for you and which one gives you a better chance for admission.</p>
<p>CHeck with admissions. With an AA you most definately are considered a transfer at UF, and they have cut way back on transfers. You need to go and MEET with an admissions counselor.</p>
<p>You may have enough credits for your AA degree but you may not have to get the degree. At UF you don't graduate until you take the last course of your major. It might be the same at Jr College. Bright Futures pays for 120 credits that you take when you are officially in college. When you graduate in 4 years (120 credits) and add all those credits you bring from your dual-enrollment (you'll be able to take more advanced classes) you could have two majors and look a lot better to prospective Law Schools than many other candidates. Like sunnyflorida says, it's getting harder to transfer in, so you may be better off applying from high school. Definitely talk to someone at UF and get that 1200 up.</p>
<p>Actually, I have talked to an admissions officer when I stopped by on my way to Orlando a couple of months ago. She said that I would be considered a freshman applicant, but I would still submit my transfer application and they would receive equal weight. The way she stated it, it sounds like I have two chances to get in... as a freshman and as a transfer. So if I get rejected by one, I may still be accepted based on the other.</p>
