<p>I have a 3.65 GPA from another public Florida university and want to transfer to UF. I am a finance major. I will have 61 hours complete before i transfer.</p>
<p>I transferred in last semester with no problem at all. But I came from a CC. I know that UF has preference to students coming in from community colleges with their AA degrees over people at other universities. And they're getting much stricter on who they're letting in, even for transfers. I can't safely say with a 3.65 that you'll definitely get in but I don't see why you don't have a good shot at it :) It depends how competitive your major is (if it's limited access, all that fun stuff).</p>
<p>If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask! I seem to be the junior transfer advice person around here :)</p>
<p>I think you will get in, it's not like its UNC or Berkeley where a 3.65 is a maybe. My friend from my school, which is also a SU in florida, got in with a 3.3. Best luck of though!</p>
<p>would it be better for me to apply for summer or fall? are there any differences between my chances of getting in?</p>
<p>bump any comments are great</p>
<p>bump any comments pls</p>
<p>They say its about the same but it might be easier during the summer.</p>
<p>just wondering, where are you transferring from and why?</p>
<p>UCF, always wanted to go to UF</p>
<p>How bout on people transferring from out of state CC?</p>
<p>What are you stats? I always thought that UF prefers instate students?</p>
<p>any more opinions ?</p>
<p>i think you'll get in</p>
<p>How about transfer right after freshman year?</p>
<p>how about transfering after first semester. i know it can be done but how does it work and what is the difficulty?</p>
<p>I don't know about UF, but I talked to my HS counselor (I was asking her about transferring to University of Miami after 1 semester of FIU if I do not make it in to UM... although my new first choice is now UCF Honors) and she said that I would have to spend at least a year.</p>
<p>I am a senior who can transfer to UF in the fall of 2008. i'll be shy of 12 credits(including the prerequisites for my major)so i'll take those credits in the summer. Its a possible maybe.</p>
<p>anyone transferring with more than 60 credits with a 3.6+ gpa has a pretty good shot at getting in</p>
<p>bump pls ............</p>
<p>This is from Feb 22nd Independent Alligator:</p>
<p>"To comply with requests from the Board of Governors to stifle enrollment for the fall, UF may be left with only one option: cutting transfer students. And that news did not sit well across town at SFCC.</p>
<p>In an e-mail sent out to UF administrators Thursday, Provost Janie Fouke wrote that in order to respond to the request from the board, the State University System's highest governing body, UF would likely accept fewer transfer students this year.</p>
<p>All freshmen and several graduate student admissions decisions have already been announced, Fouke wrote. And while UF awaits guidance from the board, the Florida Legislature and UF's Board of Trustees, the release of transfer-admissions decisions will be delayed until at least April 15. </p>
<p>Lawrence Keen, SFCC's assistant to college President Jackson Sasser, made a flustered call to Sasser when asked about UF's proposal, saying that was the first he had heard about it.</p>
<p>Keen said it's unfair for UF to solve its budget dilemma by penalizing transfer students.</p>
<p>"This is very, very serious to us," he said.</p>
<p>Because UF and SFCC work so closely together, he said SFCC students might not be affected as much as other transfer students across the country.</p>
<p>"We are by far the largest source of students for the University of Florida," Keen said. "We are woven into the same fabric."</p>
<p>UF President Bernie Machen briefly addressed the issue Thursday at a UF Faculty Senate meeting.</p>
<p>"We're going to have transfers," Machen said. "The questions is, can we take as many as we have historically taken?"</p>
<p>Richard Wooley, a second-year SFCC student, said if the number of transfer students admitted to UF is cut back, he might have wasted a lot of time.</p>
<p>Wooley said he transferred to SFCC from the University of Central Florida last semester to increase his chance of being accepted to UF.</p>
<p>"I changed my whole life to be here and try to go to UF," he said. "Everything I've done since October could be for nothing."</p>
<p>Katelyn Witsell, a first-year SFCC student, said students shouldn't rely on just one university to accept them but added a reduction in transfer student admissions would be a cause for concern for her, although she doesn't plan on transferring to UF until 2009.</p>
<p>"By then, it might be a total mess and impossible to get in," Witsell said.""</p>
