<p>By chance would anyone know if the College of Engineering is one of the easies or more difficult colleges to transfer into?..I understand that the business school is almost impossible to transfer to unless your from a CC and that IMO that is because not many people tend to drop from business so there are a very limited number of spots, while a lot of people decide to switch out of engineering thus maybe having extra spots but my logic is probably flawed. Admissions said they couldn’t release which colleges were easier to transfer too and although this wouldn’t affect me decision it still would be comforting to know if anyone on here as an info on the subject.</p>

<p>Sorry for posting this response twice, I didn’t proofread my first post so I never noticed how hard it was to read.</p>
<p>“do you really think that having an AA will make my application that much more competitive”</p>
<p>Like I said, it certainly won’t hurt your application. I think that even if they didn’t give preference to state university AA’s it still makes your application look better because it shows you accomplished something as opposed to just having 60 credits. It’s like a buzz word.</p>
<p>Plus, if you ever need to get a part-time job while your in school, your application will look much better saying you have an Associates degree as opposed to “some college”.</p>
<p>UF requires Introduction to Engineering. It’s 3-hours one day a week and you have a lecture on a different type of engineering each week. I know UM also has an Introduction to Engineering class which is totally different. It’s a very common course title, at least.</p>
<p>so UF does require an intro to engineering class…and does anyone know the difficulty to get into the college of engineering?..Id image a 3.8+ GPA as a trasnfer to the college of engineering would seem kinda competitive since normally engineer majors have slightly lower GPA’s.</p>
<p>I have yet to start the transfer application but I was wondering if we are required to write an essay and if we list any extra cirriculars, or letters of recs from professors or employers (I have an internship at an engineering firm, Riegal USA).</p>
<p>There are no essays, letters of recc, resumes or anything else like that for transfer admissions. It’s strictly by the numbers.</p>
<p>thanks…just wondering would they even look at a look at the letter of rec of I had sent them and is there a place on the application for extra cirriculars and my last question if I was to get accepted for civil would i be able to switch to mechanical if I ever decided to change?</p>
<p>The online app does not have a place for ec’s. </p>
<p>The way transfer admissions works is that your app is verified complete (transcipts, payment etc.) by the Office of Admissions and is refered (electronically) to your college where a decision is made. If you send in a letter of recc to the Office of Admissions they will probably just toss it since there is no internal mail system. You could try to find the admissions person within the College of Engineering and ask if you can send in a letter of recc but I wouldn’t advise it. If they wanted one, they’d ask for it. </p>
<p>As for switching majors, I know that you are accepted into a specific program. But since you would only be changing within the Engineering major, I’m sure there’s some way they would work it out. If you were trying to switch colleges then I’d say you might have a problem.</p>
