<p>bumpppppppp</p>
<p>It's unfair.... </p>
<p>But it's also unfair that the Legislature does not want to fund the universities properly as well. Besides this is a good way to reduce the Class Sizes.</p>
<p>why not reduce all admissions across the board. for intacne, 7% for incoming freshman, tranfers, and graduate next fall. i know it cant happen this fall but its unfair in the future to penalize only one group of applicants.</p>
<p>^ I hear you, and that is what they have planned.</p>
<p>UF is planning on cutting the size of the incoming freshmen class next year. The Graduate Students probably won't be reduced nearly as much because they pay alot more in tuition then Undergrads. In addition, they are needed to conduct research as well.</p>
<p>good. so my chances in 2 years will be about as good as UF not winning the national championship next season. ill be a gator at heart forever.lol. naaw i keed i keed. btw, to the OP. i think you have a decent chance but like mentioned, i have yet to find an admissions office like UF's. they MUST get high before reviewing and just pick blindfolded.</p>
<p>This thread is from 2008. What are the chances NOW of a transfer from a New York private university if my parents have now moved to Florida? Will they put me further down on the acceptance matrix because I didn’t go to a community college in Florida first?</p>
<p>You don’t get preference… Chances aren’t especially good, unless your stats are amazing.</p>
<p>Does it depend upon the college? I am an int’l affairs major with minor in business. I should have a 3.5 at minimum but probably a 3.65. My SAT was 2000. I have lived in other countries and studied my first semester in Europe. Would that help? Do I need to go to a community college in Florida first to be able to get in to the U. of Florida? That just seems peculiar?</p>
<p>^agreed. Plus you pay out of state tuition because your parents haven’t lived here more than a year.</p>
<p>Well, of course it depends on the college… But honestly, we can’t give anything too accurate… It also depends on your major, I know that the average GPA for admittance into liberal arts is higher than engineering. I also know that it’s kind of a lottery getting in from an out of state university.</p>
<p>But yeah, the out of state tuition is 27,000 a year too. If your parents have lived here for a while though you can instantly become a resident, that’s what I did.</p>
<p>It is discouraging to think that unless you come from a Florida community college, you aren’t a good candidate. I have a 3.4 which isn’t off the charts (from NYU) and it looks like I would need to apply through CLAS…I think someone said that is the most difficult to apply into. ugh. Well, I can only try and hope it is easier to transfer in the spring than in the fall.</p>
<p>There are plenty of good candidates that arent from C.C’s. No one is saying it is impossible to get in as an out of state transfer either.</p>
<p>UF DOES accept transfers from out of state and from four year colleges. However, there is no magic number that will guarantee acceptance. Meaning you could have a 4.0GPA and still get denied or have a 3.0 GPA and get in. Every applicant is unique and UF does consider your essay, your EC’s, and what have you been doing since you go out of high school. GPA is only part of it so don’t dwell on it.</p>
<p>The only things we ARE saying is that transfers from C.C’s get priority consideration, and that if you do get accepted you will have to pay out of state tuition. That’s it.</p>
<p>I will be coming in from a Colorado cc with a 3.74 majoring in political science. I think the key is to have your AA and doing great in all of your pre-profs. I didn’t even send in my SATs since they were horrible and I only had a 3.2 in high school. So just make sure you write a good essay and get as many A’s as possible. Also, I am starting in the summer term, which definitely helps since there are extra CLAS requirements I need to take care of.</p>
<p>Thanks for your comments. My family will be considered instate by fall but I am applying for spring. Don’t know if that changes things. Also, I am coming from a university instead of a community college and heard they prefer the students from community colleges. I will apply but is there any other university in Florida that is as spot on as UF? Also, do they consider legacy? I have a 2 siblings that attended but awhile ago.</p>
<p>I don’t think they consider “legacy” unless your siblings are alumni that donate a very large sum of $$</p>
<p>As someone who actually did a “upper level transfer” (Junior/senior standing), it’s quite easy to transfer in. You have to first meet the minimum level set by UF, and then meet the requirements set by the College you’re transferring into.</p>
<p>I suggest reaching out to the College you’re looking to join, and ask them what the requirements are. I transferred into the College of Business.</p>
<p>Hey! I was at Florida Gulf Coast University my first two years of college and actually just got accepted to UF this past May. I used to be worried about getting in because I wasn’t at a community college like so many other transfer students but it still worked out for me. I’m an Elem. Education major and I transferred in with a 3.56 GPA. I’m also transferring in during the Fall because Summer wasn’t an option for my major. I think the acceptance rate might be a little easier in the Summer because when I went to orientation a lot, and I mean A LOT of other students were starting school in a few weeks for summer classes. I was basically the only one starting in the fall.</p>
