<p>I just got my acceptance letter! I am transferring from Penn State as a Biology major. Now my only problem is that I also applied to Cornell and have to wait until mid December to hear back from them. UF also wants me to register for Transfer Preview Day on Dec 8 and there is no way that I can make that.</p>
<p>You applied to Cornell and UF? That's an interesting mix.</p>
<p>I wouldn't exactly call a 3.7 "poor" billsamson...I'm going to be getting into warrington with a 3.7 and 4.0 pre-professional...</p>
<p>shangs, what was your pre-professional GPA?</p>
<p>I am in the process of finishing the last pre-professional course, so maybe the GPA will be 3.8.
But still, your 4.0 GPA is way ahead of me.
You definitely will get in!</p>
<p>shangs...you applied to them without having all pre-professionals completed? perhaps that is why you were denied, or maybe you were just deferred. they WILL NOT give you any acceptance without all of the pre-profs finished. Besides, I don't think they are making any decisions for Fall 09 until June anyways, which is the deadline to app.</p>
<p>edit: apparently the accounting program did accept people for spring 09, so that wasn't the problem. I'm willing to bet it had something to do with your pre-profs. Hmm..now that I think of it, I'm not sure if you needed all finished in august of 08. Oh well. Who knows.</p>
<p>Do you think having an A.A. in pre-law from a Florida community college with a 3.9 GPA and 4.0 pre-professional (along with Phi Theta Kappa and a pile of dean's and president's lists) will be good enough to get into the political science program? What kind of chances do you think I have?</p>
<p>Only an idiot speaks in absolutes, so, I'd say you have a 95% shot AT9..</p>
<p>^ Thanks. I'm actually in high school, but I will have my A.A. in December with those stats. Because they consider transfer and freshman sections of my application separately, I wanted to see what kind of chance I might have based on my transfer section alone. </p>
<p>By the way... whenever I see you're name, I always read it as "jasonnipples." Sorry, I don't know why, I guess I have a little dyslexia lol.</p>
<p>haha...I know there is something else you have to do if you finish diploma and AA at same time..maybe SAT/ACT?</p>
<p>Yeah.... my high school transcript is alright, but probably not as good as my transfer one. I have tons of good EC's, a 4.4 GPA, and my SAT is.... well... 630R, 580M, 610W, and 11 Essay. So it's low for UF, but it's not a you-have-no-chance-why-did-you-even-apply-to-UF kind of low. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until Feb. 15, and I'll apply for housing in the meantime.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm not sure how that works, but if you have the choice, definitely apply as a transfer..</p>
<p>I don't have a choice, really. I have to submit the freshman application, but they look at me both as a freshman and a transfer. So they will look at my freshman stats and if they reject me, I can still be accepted if they accpet me based on my transfer part of the application. So basically, I have two shots in one. I only have to get accepted by 1/2, and I'll get in. It's kind of complicated, and not many students have this situation, so I'm just trying to explore all possible scenarios.</p>
<p>Hmm...gotcha..Good luck either way..when are you trying to get in for?</p>
<p>I'm trying to get in for the fall semester... so that will make it even more difficult. Oh well, it's not the only option I have and I haven't looked at it as my dream school or anything. I mean, it's my top choice, but it won't kill me if I don't get in.</p>
<p>Right...still I'd think that the AA stats would make you have a much better chance than just the HS.</p>
<p>Man Im applying as a transfer from FSU w/ 3.73 gpa for Bio, I hope I get in as I am applying for summer A....got denied freshman year twice haha..</p>
