<p>College greatly depends on what classes you’ve taken and what grades you have earned. For Biology as a transfer you need </p>

<p>Biology: Complete MAC 2311, CHM 2045 w/ lab, CHM 2046 w/ lab, and BSC 2010 w/ lab, BSC 2011 w/ lab. Must have a minimum 3.5 GPA and B or better in your first attempts.</p>

<p>and UF only looks at the gpa with critical tracking courses. Not electives. So that 3.5 needs to be in calc, chem and biology.</p>

<p>A friend applied with a 3.45 did not get in. He had tons of ex cur and work experience in a hospital. I was shocked that he was not admitted.</p>

<p>Actually the 3.5 is an overall GPA. They definitely mean B or better in the first attempt. They get so many Biology applicants that withdrawing from a prerequisite course will get you denied for competitive reasons.</p>

<p>I know by the end of this semester ill have the 3.5 but i actually got C’s in Chem 2 and Bio 1… so it doesnt look good for me :(</p>

<p>Thank you so much for the help though guys</p>

<p>CALS is a little more lenient with their Biology degree.</p>
