How Hard is it to Transfer?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Florida

<p>Hello. I'm an OOS senior in high school who didn't get accepted at UF. I'm thinking about going to FSU and then transferring to UF after my first year at FSU (if I indeed still find that UF would be a better fit for my interests). I heard that UF prefers instate transfers over OOS transfers. Is this true? ...And are the odds of getting in at UF strong? I'm currently interested in pre-med, so I'd probably major in something like biology or biochemistry. What kind of college GPA would be needed? Would around a 3.5 do the job?</p>

<p>I hope this question isn't offensive to anyone... Thanks for the help. :)</p>

<p>3.8 gets you in the door for sure... I think a 3.5 might do it though.</p>

<p>a 3.68 should give me a good chance? i have 45 hours currently and will have 61 by end of this semester</p>

<p>UF has recently capped SFCC transfer admissions. Take that for what it's worth (no more guarantees).</p>

<p>Honestly you probably are going to have a difficult time transferring after one year at FSU. UF gives preference to students who are from community colleges or students who have 60+ credits. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's going to be much more difficult. Especially, as ABCB said, they've capped transfer admissions. Good luck!</p>
