<p>Getting into a Florida University:
- Start at a Florida College: Enroll at a Florida college (previously known as community colleges), earn an AA degree, and transfer to state university to complete a Bachelor’s degree’s upper division coursework. You are guaranteed admission to a state university, although not necessarily the university of choice. This approach to earning a 4-year degree is commonly referred to as the 2 + 2 system.
- Talented 20 Program: If you rank in the top 20% of your Florida public high school graduating class, you are guaranteed admission to a state university, although not necessarily the university of choice. (You must also take the core “college prep” courses and submit your SAT or ACT test score.)
- Student Profile Assessment: A few applicants, who do not meet the minimum admissions requirements, are granted admission to state universities through a “student profile assessment” process, which takes into account a student’s exceptional attributes or special talents, such as accomplishments in music, art or sports.</p>
