<p>If a school says this - It is important to realize now that you will NOT be able to transfer to UF until you meet the prerequisite course work and GPA requirements for that major.</p>
<ul>
<li>and I don't have the prereqisites for the major I want (economics), do you think I would have any problems if I apply to a major with 0 pre reqs (english), attend the school and in the first semester simply take the prereqs for economics and switch majors after requirements are met?</li>
</ul>
<p>No ofcourse not. Coz, even for the english major I'd assume they'd like some breadth requirements. Its not like you have to do all english courses.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how much financial aid I'm likely to get for University of Florida? i'm instate, so everything would be about $13,000. </p>
<p>Is this the way it works? - let's say that they determine my family is capable of paying $10,000, this means we'll get $3000 aid and pay the rest out of pocket? So going to an expensive private college with $25 - 30,000 gift aid could end up about the same as instate. Does that sound logical?</p>
<p>Btw, does anyone have any more thoughts on the original topic?</p>
