Transferring- Advice needed...

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Florida

<p>Hey guys, I am an Aerospace engineering major. I just received my AA at the end of last semester (summer) from Broward College (a CC) with a 3.44. I have not applied to UF's College of engineering because I have not met the 6 of 8 critical tracking courses that they recommend, Although I have taken ALL of the electives which they recommend which is Bio, Chem 2, and astronomy. After this semester I will have completed 3 of the 6 classes. I will still need Cal 2, Physics 1, and Cal 3 before I reach 6 of the 8. </p>

<p>My question is when should I apply? After this semester in which I would finish Cal 1? Meaning applying in January for admittance in May?</p>

<p>or wait until I finish all my critical tracking courses which would set me back 2 MORE semesters at a CC. I would end up transferring with over 80 credits but UF only takes 60??</p>

<p>On a side note, I am hispanic, if that matters and I have retaken a math class before. (Never take a fully online math course) lol</p>

<p>I really don't want to stay at a CC much longer and I plan to move very soon anyway to Gainesville or Orlando which would mean I would have to go to Santa Fe CC or Valencia to finish the Critical tracking courses. </p>

<p>Sorry if I am all over the place lol. Thanks in Advance.</p>

<p>If you’re in calc I now, how are you going to have calc II & III done by the summer? sounds like you’re going to need to stay in CC for the Spring and summer anyway?</p>

<p>UF’s website says that CC students that have not completed the 6 critical tracking courses MAY have to stay until they are completed. It does not say anything else other than that. I would like to transfer summer with only 5 competed.</p>

<p>I suggest you try speaking with an adviser in the aerospace eng. dept. at UF. The problem is if you take that risk, they might end up rejecting you for only having 5 done, and seeing as UF transfers are on rolling admissions you probably won’t hear until like late march or April, and you’re going to be sitting around stressing if you should register for summer courses or not. So I think the best idea is to confirm if they will accept you with only 5 rather than risking it.</p>
