<p>So from all that I have read, after I receive my AA and my AAS in Networking Administration, I would actually be considered a junior when I start?</p>
<p>I'm going to school right now, working on both these degrees, and set things up so I will graduate with both degrees at the same time. I thought this was practical in the fact that I might have better opportunities for internships or a job if I need one while I'm at UF working on my BS in Computer Science. However, I have heard that UF might actually fault me for having excessive credits? Wouldn't holding 2 degrees already give me a better shot at getting in, and towards scholarships as well?</p>
<p>I already have things calculated and worked out to where I know my tuition is completely covered. I just need to worry about getting the extra cash or scholarships to cover living costs. I like the idea of living in the dorms, because honestly I'm horrible at waking up. Having a roomie sounds like a good idea as well to keep costs down. Just trying to get a feel for the whole thing.</p>
<p>Also, I have read in a few places that frats don't want anything to do with transfer students / juniors. How true is that?</p>
<p>I know its a lot of questions I have, but just trying to nail down as much solid info as I can.</p>
<p>I don’t think uf is going to “fault” you for having excessive credits, I know someone who transferred with 75 credits and they were all applied to the degree. There is one issue you may have though, the state of Florida requires students to finish their degree within an acceptable amount of hours. What is acceptable? No more more 25% over the required number of hours (normally around 120). So if you go over 144 hours (although I think cs is 130 or so, instead of the 120) you will lose instate tuition for all hours over that. I don’t know if they applies in your situation though.</p>
<p>The problem at uf is that most people form groups their freshman year and kind of shut people out after that. Of course you can still meet people and become friends, but for whatever reason it gets harder after the first few weeks of school of your first year. I know that doesn’t really answer your question, but it sure makes it sound like what you said is true.</p>
<p>if you have an AA, yes in terms of credits you are a junior. UF will not “fault” you for having extra credits, but usually when you enter as a transfer you will apply as one major, and they will usually only take 60 credits. If your trying to double major, after being admitted for one major talk to a counselor and the department head of the second major your pursuing and they can help you with that. Having 2 degrees shouldnt hurt you, but it may not help you either with scholarships and admission depending on the ones your looking to apply for and how you did in school. I dont know much about frats, but I cant see you being a transfer hurting you, especially in this economy when they are looking for members to pay the frat fees, which can be very high.</p>
<p>Yeah even at my school now I was told that after 90 credits they start to question your financial aid, and if you have enough credits to graduate, they force you to graduate with one degree before they will pay for the next. </p>
<p>I guess I am really lucky in the fact that the AAS I chose, has so many courses in common that apply towards my AA, I’m really only needing 6 or 7 extra classes for my AA. With the way things are in the economy today, and as much work experience as people are asking for in my field, having my Degree in Networking already will possibly give me a chance to get my foot in the door while in school.</p>
<p>As well, looking at many of the course requirements for my Cs degree, I will have completed some of the courses already at comm. college. So many of what would be considered electives toward my AA, would actually be reqs. or at least prereqs. to the courses I plan on taking at UF.</p>
