<p>Hey, I'm a student an out of state community college (but I am a resident of Florida). I want to transfer to UF, but I noticed the transfer requirements say you must have 60 credits. I have 40 credits and a 4.0 gpa, is that not enough credits, or are they pretty lenient on credit amount as long as you have a good gpa? Thanks.</p>
<p>Not only are they extremely strict about having 60 credits and an AA degree, but it is extremely hard to get in as a transfer student from out of state. Florida students at a community college are the first priority at UF, then they take any Florida 4 year college transfer students that are left over (and you have to have a very, very high GPA typically, to be taken in as a transfer from a Florida university). So you’d be way down there on the list. I mean, it’s worth a shot, and you never know til you try, but I’d wait til you have your AA degree so you aren’t wasting time or money.</p>
<p>Ok, but I AM a resident of FL, so that would still mean I’m applying as an in state applicant. But yeah, if I finish the 60 credits I’ll probably have to apply in spring, which is a bit too early for me.</p>
<p>Yes, you’re a Florida resident, however, the priority id for Florida CC students,so you don’t get that priority that Fl CC get. Also, as a transfer requirement you MUST have earned your AA by the time the semester your applying for admission starts i.e. If you apply for fall, you must have earned your AA before that fall starts. Another key item is to make sure you have all the pre-requisites for your intended major; all these must also be completed before you can begin classes at UF. You can go here and select your major and see what the prerequisites are.</p>

<p>Also, you need to remember that meeting all the requirements does not guarantee admission, specially since you’re applying from an OOS CC, being a FL resident does not make a difference. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks for explaining it better than I did, kttn2103. You have a very low chance at getting in if you are transferring from an out of state community college, whether you are a Florida resident or not. UF is extremely hard to get into from out of state, especially if you’re transferring from out of state. There is actually a law in place in Florida that says the universities must take community college/state college transfers from in state before they take ANYONE else. This is done to ensure that all the people graduating with AA degrees in Florida have a place to go and continue their education. You need to focus on getting your AA degree and prerequisites done before you apply, because you will not be accepted without an AA degree and your prerequisites completed for your major.</p>
<p>Another thing to note is that the major you pick and the college you apply to has something to do with whether you are accepted, or not. If it is a very competitive major, you will have an even harder time getting in, especially since you are coming from an out of state CC.</p>
