<p>I just changed my major from biology to Aerospace engineering. I currently am finishing my second semester at a community college so I didn't deviate too greatly.</p>
<p>I was wondering if any of you know the transfer statistics to to UF's Aerospace engineering program. For example GPA, admission percentage, ETC.
Also, what are things that colleges look at when transferring? Are factors of admission basically the same as if I were in high school applying to a University?</p>
<p>I don’t know statistics of the admission rates, but I can tell you that admission factors are somewhat similar to high school. They look at your college grades(and high school depending on what schools you apply to), your letter of recs, your ECs, Interview(if they do it), essays, I think I’m forgetting something else… </p>
<p>Have you looked at Embry Riddle in Daytona or Presscott? When I applied there my senior year(two years ago), they do really really well in aerospace engineering. But I decided to change my major. =/</p>
<p>I was accepted to UF’s Aerospace Engineering program a month ago as a transfer student, so I can give you some insight about the transfer process.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about high school grades, EC’s, letters of recommendation, or interviews. All you really need to focus on is your GPA and finishing all your pre-reqs by the time you plan to enroll.
I will say a 3.5 or greater will almost guarantee you a spot in their program; it’s actually extremely easy to transfer from a community college to UF’s Aerospace program.
You should also take into account that admissions are handled by the Aerospace dept. itself, so your essays should definitely center on why you want to pursue this specific career.</p>
