Florida Transfer questions

Transfer Students
1

<p>Quick background: I'm 20 and in my thrid year of college at FIU. I've been a South Florida resident my entire life and want to expierience life away from home; to move on with my life.</p>

<p>I'll have 60 credits by the time I eventually do transfer, so I will be classified as a junior whenever my apps. go out.</p>

<p>My question is based off of which school's in the state of Florida, that are STATE schools, would I have the best chance to get into.</p>

<ul>
<li><p>3.29 GPA (will likely be even higer by end of fall 2009)</p></li>
<li><p>Criminology major</p></li>
</ul>

<p>I realize that UF is about a 0% chance, but how would schools such as FSU, UCF, USF, etc. look in regards to possibly accepting me for either Spring 2010 or Summer 2010?</p>

<p>Thanks for any help that can be provided.</p>

<p>p.s. I'd prefer to go to FSU out of the schools listed. If it looks like I fall short somewhere, and anyone is familiar with how FSU weighs their decision, I'd truly appreciate your input.</p>

<p>If you show a steady trend of improvement and a rigorous course load you will have a better shot. FSU is not that difficult to get into. Also you will probably need to display to them that you can bring something more to the campus than just a body. What can you do for them?</p>

<p>you will likely be accepted to FSU…as was I</p>

<p>I transferred from fiu to uf last semester with a 3.76 though</p>

<p>higher your gpa as high as you can is all i can recommend, extracurriculars are irrelevant in the transfer process.</p>

<p>IF you meet all MIN. pre-req requirements you will be asked to write an essay regarding WHY you want to transfer.</p>
