<p>I have an AA degree from a Florida 2-year college. Per the state’s transfer agreement, one of the 4-year schools has to accept me. I applied to them all and was rejected by every one.</p>
<p>What do I do now?</p>
<p>what were your grades? like GPA? and give a little more info?</p>
<p>There must be transfer advisors at the two-year college you’ve been attending. I’d start by asking them how to proceed. They’ll have a lot more specific knowledge about policies and procedures in Florida than strangers on the Internet will have.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what my GPA is. I attended more than one college. It’s at least a B.</p>
<p>I e-mailed the 2-year college multiple times about this, but got no reply.</p>
<p>Don’t email. After the first of the year, schedule a face-to-face appointment with an advisor.</p>
<p>You applied to all eleven Florida public schools and received rejection letters from all of them?</p>
<p>Yes. I was rejected by all 11.</p>
<p>The advisor at the 2-year school won’t meet with me. She says she is “too busy” and that since I’m not a student anymore, she doesn’t have to.</p>
<p>That is most definitely how it works at the community college where I live. Career advising services are available to members of…well, the community.</p>
<p>I suggest you pore over the college’s web site to see whether that’s the case where you live. If it is, I suggest you see another counselor. Go over her head if necessary.</p>

<p>Too late to edit my post just above. It was supposed to say, “That is most definitely not how it works at the community college where I live,” etc.</p>
<p>Are you applying to a limited access program (like nursing)? I believe that the program is “guaranteeing” admission as a student with junior level status…when and if you are admitted. But the individual universities and programs still have the right to deny admission.</p>
<p>Did you really apply to all 11? No preference at as to where you want to go? You can always try for summer admission…a little less competitive then.</p>
<p>No, I didn’t apply to a limited access program. I applied as a philosophy major. </p>
<p>I really applied to all 11.</p>
<p>The 2-year college I went to won’t let me schedule an appointment with an advisor. They told me that “only students and potential students at the school can speak to an advisor.”</p>
<p>I don’t want to reapply to all 11 for the summer. They all have $30-$40 application fees.</p>
<p>loser100, the only way to figure out why you were rejected is to ask the people who rejected you.</p>
<p>Don’t contact the adviser at your two-year school. XYZ Community College isn’t going to be able to tell you why UCF or FSU rejected you. Pick up a phone and call the admissions department for the schools that rejected you and ask them why you were rejected. </p>
<p>I suspect that you have simply not completed a required milestone, such as a prerequisite course for your stated major, or some other requirement, but that’s just a guess.</p>
<p>Oh, they’ve all told me why; I have “too many credits.”</p>
<p>How many credits do you have?</p>
<p>I have 160</p>
<p>That is a heck of a lot of credits. Even if one of them lets you in, you’ve got the 100% excess credit surcharge.</p>
<p>I’d call the state Office of Articulation, and ask them what to do. (850) 245-0427</p>
<p>I went to a private college for 3 years where I was working on a double major. I could not afford to go back for the 4th year. So, I got my AA in a 2-year college in hopes of making transfer to a 4-year state school easier.</p>
<p>So the person who advised you to do that, what are they saying now?</p>
<p>Given the 100% excess credit surcharge and the two-years-in-residence requirement, would it be cheaper to pick up whatever hours remain to get a degree in something (not necessarily completing both majors) at your original school?</p>
<p>If not, what did the Office of Articulation suggest?</p>
<p>(That’s still a heck of a lot of hours. Three years plus a year to have sufficient in-residence hours for a two-year degree is 120 hours, and you’ve got 133% of that.)</p>
<p>Does the excess credits rule apply to private colleges? I thought that only mattered for credits earned at tax-payer funded schools.</p>
