Transfer

<p>Right know im a senior at a highschool in connecticut. I'm probably not going to get into the university of florida and had some questions about the transfer. I want to major in accounting what are you supposed to do to transfer into UF. I've read some things about aa programs but dont know what that means. I plan on going to another university public or private in florida or outside and transferring to UF</p>

<p>I posted this in your other thread, but I'll try to answer some more of your questions about the A.A. </p>

<p>An A.A. is an Associate of Arts degree, which is a two-year college degree. I am in high school as well, but I have an A.A. in Pre-Law from taking a bunch of dual enrollment classes at Pensacola Junior College. If you want to transfer in to UF, your best bet is to go to a Florida public community college and get your A.A., and then try to transfer in. I know that going to a community college may not be as prestigious as you would like, but it's your best chance to get into UF as a transfer. If you go to another university, they'll look at your high school record, and it will just be way harder to get in.</p>

<p>AT9, they will only look at your high school record for foreign language purposes, not your GPA.
However, coming from an OOS college, they expect you to have a 3.5 minimum overall GPA.</p>

<p>so what your saying is that the best way to get into UF is to go to a community college and get an aa degree. I dont know about going to a community college. I thought of going to another college in Florida and transfering to UF</p>

<p>It's nearly impossible to transfer into UF from another Florida university. I'm not trying to sound mean, but it's true. </p>

<p>The reason it's so hard to transfer from another university is because UF (and all other public Florida universities) give priority to AA transfers. I know it's not an ideal sounding plan, but it's the most realistic if you're absolutely set on going to UF. If I were you, I would really look into some other colleges that you would like to attend for all of your four years in college. You likely won't get in as a freshman, and it's super hard (for anyone) to get in form a college without an A.A. Right now they are only accepting transfers with 60 or more credits. So don't count on transferring in after one year. </p>

<p>Here is the UF page for transfers: University</a> of Florida - Admissions</p>

<p>It's not impossible to transfer from another FLA university, I have friends who have transferred from FSU to UF vice versa, the catch is they hold university kids to much higher and strict standards, I know for me the advisor told me I needed a 3.5 overall gpa and nothing less than a B or W's in all of my major classes to be considered for admissions, thats a pretty high standard if you ask me for someone majoring in biology and the coursework associated with it.</p>
