Transfer from CC or University?

[lovetolearn305]

<p>I am a high school senior and my goal is to attend UF. Unfortunately I wasn't accepted this year but I want to transfer there. Should I go to a state college like Santa Fe or go to a public university like UCF or FIU? What are the pros and cons of both? Thanks!</p>

<p>CC Pros: Less expensive, easy to get a 4.0 GPA, no competition</p>

<p>University Pros: Your GPA and recs will be more respected, and overall I think you would have a better chance</p>

<p>I think you want to attend the Florida public community college or state university
See [University</a> of Florida - Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/ugrad/trapprocess.html]University”>Transfer - How to Apply - University of Florida)

What Type of Transfer Applicant is Most Likely to be Admitted?
The best chance for transfer admission is directly from a Florida public community college or state university after receipt of the Associate of Arts degree.

<p>Also,

Florida Public Community College Graduates Transferring to UF:
The university subscribes to the articulation agreement between the state universities and public community colleges in Florida: Any graduate of a state-approved Florida public community college is eligible for admission to a state university if the student has completed the prerequisites of their intended major as specified in the Common Prerequisite Manual and received the Associate of Arts degree.

<p>One big advantage of attending a CC, is that the faculty and advisors want you to transfer successfully, and they have experience with helping students through the process. That isn’t necessarily true at 4-year institutions.</p>

<p>If you’re already thinking of transfering, why don’t you go to a cc where they specialize in transfering? It’ll be cheaper ad easier.</p>
