Transferring to UF CLAS chances?

[ConstantlyCrying]

So I’m at a CC right now and I’m trying to transfer into UF. Specifically the CLAS Biology major.

I’m scared to death because I screwed around and got my first C ever in PreCalc and Trig. My teacher was awful, and I currently have a scholarship that only applies if I’m a full-time student, hence why I didn’t drop.

Next semester (the final one before transferring) I’m taking Calc 1 (I took AP Calc in high school and got a B in the class but didn’t get the AP credit), which I’m aiming to get an A in. I’m hoping that might make up for the C in PreCalc and Trig.

I’m also taking Bio 2 (As in both Intro and Bio 1 lecture and labs, not stressed about it), Chem 2 (Bs in lecture for Intro and Chem 1 and As in the labs, firmly believe I can make an A in Chem 2 lecture), and an easy-A Astronomy class to round out my AA.

TL;DR

Current GPA: 3.59
ECs: Full-Time Fast Food Worker (don’t even know if I should include this because it’s just kind of sad to most people), member of Psi Beta Honor Society, member of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, and hopefully shadowing a pharmacist for my last semester before transferring.

If it’s a better choice for me, I’d apply in the Spring instead of the Fall for better odds and continue shadowing/get a job as a Pharm Tech in the meantime which will hopefully bolster my application.

My second choice is USF.

Guess I should also mention that I was accepted into UF as a senior in HS through their PACE Program (which is basically just getting your AA through UF Online and then a garunteed place on campus after), but decided not to go through with it because my CC was offering an almost full-ride scholarship to get my AA there instead.

I recommend anyone thinking of transferring into CLAS use the following link, it covers all CLAS majors.

Note that UF has two Biology programs, a BA and a BS.

**Biology (BA):/b

Complete MAC 1147 (or MAC 1140 and MAC 1114) or higher MAC course; CHM 1030 and CHM 1031 or CHM 2045 w/ lab and CHM 2046 w/ lab; BSC 2010 w/ lab; and BSC 2011 w/ lab. Must typically have a minimum 2.5 overall GPA to be competitive. Must typically have a minimum 2.5 average on all attempts of these courses.

Biology (BS):
Complete MAC 2233* or MAC 2311, CHM 2045 w/ lab, CHM 2046 w/ lab, and BSC 2010 w/ lab, BSC 2011 w/ lab. Must typically have a minimum 2.8 overall GPA to be competitive. Must typically have a minimum 3.0 average on all attempts of these courses
.
*Please be aware that most graduate or professional schools that require calculus prefer or require MAC 2311 rather than MAC 2233. In addition, please be aware that if you complete MAC 2233 instead of MAC 2311 prior to enrollment, you must complete MAC 2311 by the end of your first term of enrollment at UF since MAC 2311 is required for the Biology(BS) major at UF.

I think your chances are good if you can do well on your Calc class.

Good Luck!!

Thank you for your feedback, I am looking towards the BA instead of the BS.
