UCF Central Florida. Need an opinion.

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I took a year off after 3 years at Central Michigan University. I am now a resident of Florida. I'm curious as to what my chances would be as a transfer to UCF. </p>

<p>72+ Credit hours in a variety of subjects
3.0 Cumulative GPA
I have the English requirements met, but I managed to elude math and foreign language during my tenure at CMU.
I'm taking classes @ HCC this fall that should include math. </p>

<p>I guess I just want to know how anal they are about transfer student admission requirements. Should I even bother applying before I have math and Foreign language under my belt? Or will they let it slide if I impress them in other areas.</p>

<p>Any input would be helpful.</p>

<p>Below are UCF's posted transfer requirements.</p>

<p>**Applicants with more than 60 semester hours of college work or who have earned an Associate in Arts degree from a Florida public community college or university must:</p>

<pre><code>* Submit official transcripts from all colleges attended
* Have a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA
* Have taken two college-level English Composition courses
* Have taken two college-level Mathematics courses
* Satisfy the foreign language requirement, which consists of two years of a single foreign language in high school, or eight semester hours of college instruction in a single foreign language. A high school transcript may be required to verify this requirement.**

<p>UCF is kind of a strange school. Their average SAT scores are like 589/597/610, but the average admit has a 3.8 weighted GPA. So they tend to be a bit tougher to get into than people realize.</p>

<p>Having said that, as a public school they should cut a in-state applicant a break--and with a 3.0 in college already, they have no reason to keep you out as long as you pick a major that your courses up to this point will support (in other words, don't apply for math or engineering, or a foreign language major and you should be okay).</p>

<p>P.S. Their admit rates are about 55% for freshman--and I'm guessing about 65% for transfers--probably 75% for in-state transfers. Just make sure they realize you've worked in state for over a year--and are 23 or older at the time you are applying. This is important to them in ranking you against other applicants (and improving your chances).</p>

<p>Best of success.</p>

<p>You may want to apply for Summer session, which seems to be easier to get into than Fall.</p>

<p>I have 72 credits and around a 2.7-2.9 GPA. What are my odds of getting in? </p>
