<p>Hi. I am an out of state student and would like to hear how much of an impact that may have since only 3 percent of the students are from OOS</p>

<p>At the end of the day (using UF’s holistic admissions), being OOS doesn’t have that great an effect on your chances. Your academics and EC’s have to be competitive, to have a shot, but that’s not the only reason OOS is limited to 6% (based on the latest numbers). Cost is also playing a role, as UF’s OOS Tuition is $28K+ a year and UF doesn’t offer many OOS scholarships/grants.</p>

<p>What would u say my chances r applying as a junior transfer from Umass-amherst with a 3.66 GPA, 86 credits and 2 leadership positions? </p>

<p>Junior transfers are based mostly on grades and classes you have taken. </p>

<p>And on your selected major. Some programs are much more competitive than others.</p>

<p>For example, use the following link to review majors in the college of liberal arts and sciences (CLAS).</p>

<p>Clasical Studies, they recommend a GPA of 2.5+ to be competitive, while for Psychology you MUST have a 3.5 GPA.</p>

<p>I applied as a general business major and have all 7 pre-reqs completed with a gpa above a 3.5</p>
