<p>Hey everyone, just thought it would be a good idea to start a UF 2013 transfer thread. I know it's a tad bit early to even think about hearing from UF about transfers, but I thought it would be a good place to talk about everyone's chances and what not. So, I have a 3.4ish GPA and have multiple volunteering hours. I have applied to be in the school of Criminal Justice. Does anyone know if the Criminal Justice program is highly competitve?</p>

With your GPA, I’m sure you will get into the Criminal Justice program. I applied for Summer B and am waiting for my status to say something other than “Your application for admission to the University of Florida for the Summer B 2013 term has been received.
Please allow 2-4 weeks for an initial review of your application by the Admissions Office.” I check it multiple times a day just to see if it has changed from this…</p>
<p>Hey all! This is my first post! I was searching for tips on transfering to UF and found a thread about Spring 2012 transfers. </p>
<p>Present College: St. Johns River State College
Intented Major: Agricultural Education
Date Applied: End of January? I don’t remember the exact day. </p>
<p>Preprofessional GPA: My required prereqs are at a 2.5 now because I failed College Algebra. I am repeating it so it will go up a bit, but not much. They require a 2.0
Overall GPA: Now that’s complicated. According to UF’s standards it’s only a 2.03, but I brought a .65 from previous classes taken 13 years ago. I wish they would disappear, but they won’t. My gpa for current coursework (including 2 transient classes at Santa Fe) is a 2.85. After I finish my current coursework it will be a 2.53 overall and a 2.90 for current coursework. Also UF may not accept all the classes from my previous school that St. Johns did, so that could help me. I hope anyway. They require a 2.5 for admission in my major…I hope they don’t deny me right away because I will have that after Spring, and it will be higher still after summer when I complete the last 3 classes for my AA. </p>
<p>ECs/Employment: None really because I am an old lady lol. 
I am involved with my son’s 4-H club and I raise and show Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats. </p>
<p>Application Status: It just says it was recieved and to give the 2-4 weeks to process it. I just requested my transcripts yesterday. My HS and Santa Fe transcripts are being sent electronically, but my other 2 colleges are sending them by mail. I got emails from both today stating that they’ve been sent. </p>
<p>Any questions comments or concerns: I’m a nervous wreck. I don’t think that my major is limited access. I talked to someone at CALS and he told me that if my GPA is a 2.53 at the end of Spring I should have no trouble getting in. I just worry that they will only look at the final numbers and not at how much better I am doing now. I did mention it in my statement on my application. Let this be a lesson to the young people. Do it right the first time! You don’t always get a 2nd chance (I have, but I may lose it if I can’t get in to UF), and old mistakes can come back to haunt you.</p>

<p>Hello,
I am hopefully and anxiously waiting for my acceptance letter to UF, for the Fall 2013 semester.
I currently attend a CC with a 3.52 GPA.
I am finishing up some pre.req. classes in the summer and will have my AA degree in like a week.
I have applied for Soil and Water Science at CALS.
I was told I will be notified no later than July 15th…
& my ISIS says that my application was refereed to my college for a final decision for like ever now lol hasn’t changed yet.
I am guessing things will start moving quicker for transfer students now that the freshmen are out of the way…
Any one know my chances of getting into this program?</p>
