<p>@steph: not sure if you had already done this but i heard someone on college confidential say that they transferred from a OOS university to a CC back at home. they never sent in their OOS university transcript because it wasnt good apparently. so basically he/she was given a “fresh start”</p>
<p>when did you apply to UCF and get accepted?</p>
<p>Well I had to submit my transcripts to start taking classes because I wanted to run through my classes. And I had English 1 and College Alg done. Im not sure if there is any way to to do that now because of pre reqs. I applied during august and heard beginning beginning of august. It was really fast.</p>
<p>Hi Stephent. After browsing the transfer threads on here for awhile, I did read once before that supposedly UF’s college of business has certain admission for transfer applicants if the minimum requirements are met. I believe that the person said that that meant a 3.5 minimum. I may be remembering wrong though.
I do think a 3.2 is pretty low for UF, but I have seen many people on this site get accepted into certain majors (usually liberal arts or related) with a 3-3.3 still.
I have also read posts by students on here who, being dishonest, did not send in all transcripts from all institutions attended.
Universities make it very clear that you are to send in transcripts from “all institutions previously attended”, and some outline very clear policies if this is not adhered to- for example, revoking the degree later earned from the university. In fact I may have read that on UF’s site somewhere… At the very least almost all universities revoke admission on this basis.
In any case, it is something to be taken very seriously and I would not suggest leaving out any grade records. “All institutions attended” means all attended, out of state or in state.
Have you been in touch with a college of business adviser? They are likely to give you a much better idea of your shot at UF. The ones that I have spoken to have been very honest, no sugarcoating.
Good luck.</p>
<p>I wasn’t planning on throwing away all 45 of my credits haha it was something I just never noticed. But as of now do you think they would deny me right now on a basis of not having the minimums? The website does say you have to have them by the time you enroll but not when in progress. So would they deny me or conditionally accept? Do you think they would extend below the minimums? sounds like they have tons of space to fill.</p>

<p>I emailed the lady it said to contact and she transferred me to another guy.</p>
<p>But thank you for your input David and Tinuviel8. Most appreciated</p>
<p>oh i misread your post. im already guessing you transferred your OOS transcript to your CC already. lol</p>
<p>all i can say is i heard UF transfer admission can be a gamble sometimes. it seems like every transfer on here got in with a 3.6+ gpa. im a little unsure about mine since i dont have a 3.6+ gpa. my gpa isnt amazing but not bad either. but ive heard some people got rejected/accepted with a gpa less than 3.6. so we’ll see what uf has to say.</p>
<p>Well, I decided to accept at Miami today. I called CALS and was told the same “by Nov. 15th” line. I tried to tell them that I am not your average student and need a little more time to move, but it did not matter. It really reflects poorly on them. Not all of us are swooning to go to UF especially when treated like this. I applied there before any other school and have heard back from every single one. I applied at UM the last week of August, and I applied thinking I did not have a chance. I do hope I still get accepted to UF now, so I can have the great satisfaction of telling them to stick it!</p>
<p>Hey, it’s one less competitor for those of you who really want to go there. I thought I really wanted to go there until they strung me along like this.</p>
<p>Yeah I know they can vary, and I really don’t bank on getting in. But their minimums I could barely reach and am curious if anyone has ever applied to Warrington to how tough they are.</p>
<p>Your previous posts indicate that you were excited to go to UF, and now that you aren’t getting special treatment, you’re throwing a fit. Can you imagine if they just evaluated everyone that called right on the spot? That’s ridiculous. I have no idea how following their own rules reflects poorly on them. You knew what the rules were before you applied. If the NOV 15th deadline didn’t fit your plan then why did you apply? Don’t bash the very school that most people on this thread are trying to get into; it’s extremely rude. The adult thing to do would be to withdraw your application from UF and give someone else a shot.</p>
<p>It reflects poorly on them because they do not have the courtesy to make decisions in a timely fashion which shows that they have little consideration for students (expecially those with families) who might have to make a laundry list of arrangements in order to attend. It is very apparent that you need to learn a bit more about courtesy as your post showed a lack of understanding of the concept due to the discourteous nature of your post. They have had my application since July. How much longer do they need? It shows their snobbish nature to think that people are just going to sit around and wait for them to get off of their a$$es and make a decision while holding on to several acceptances. As an “adult” I have better things to do. As I mentioned in my previous post, EVERY single school I applied at has made a decision and in a much shorter period of time. I do not know how expecting a timely decision is “special treatment.” If you think I was expecting them to make a decision just for me because of my situation, then you need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills as that was neither stated no implied in my previous post. I was pointing out that there are people who have a lot more to consider than just picking and moving to Gainesville on such short notice. </p>
<p>In the meantime, UF is on a downward trend right now as is reflected in their worsening national rankings.</p>
<p>why withdraw? you already paid $30. id just wait and see and in the meanwhile, focus on 2nd choice of your school.</p>
<p>“If you think I was expecting them to make a decision just for me because of my situation, then you need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills as that was neither stated no implied in my previous post.”</p>
<p>@curt, I assure you my reading skills are more than adequate to read anything that you write. Let’s look at what you posted:</p>
<p>“I tried to tell them that I am not your average student and need a little more time to move, but it did not matter.”</p>
<p>Now, what were you trying to accomplish? If it wasn’t for them to make their decision faster then what else could you have possibly wanted from them? I doubt you’ll come up with a reasonable answer. Anyway…UM is the highest ranked school in the state. Congrats on getting in and good luck.</p>
<p>Brente, thank you so very much for proving my point so succinctly. Like I said, “neither stated or implied.” You have obviously chosen to read WAAAAYYY to much into the statement you use to try and illustrate your argument. Since you are too obtuse to extract the proper implication of the statement, please allow me to break it down for you…</p>
<p>“I tried to tell them that I am not your average student and need a little more time to move…” </p>
<p>In this portion of the statement, “I am not your average student” is meant to relay the fact that there are non-traditional students, such as myself, who have a lot more to to account for and consider in a move to a new school. Due to your youth (I am making an assumption that you are no older than 23-25), you would not be expected to understand the plight of people who may have different circumstances other than yourself. </p>
<p>“but it did not matter.” - This portion of the statement illustrates that no matter how relevant my argument was, the college does not care to extend a modicum of courtesy to prospective students who might appreciate knowing their status a little earlier (and I guarantee that every prospective student would appreciate knowing a little sooner). </p>
<p>Since you are so awesome and have your UF acceptance already (albeit at the less rigorous College of Liberal Arts), I am having trouble understanding why you would even bother to relate to a post that has absolutely nothing to do with you not to mention from a person who is in a situation that you do not fully understand. The ability to accept that people may have different concerns or circumstances than you comes with a level of maturity that you obviously have not achieved. Do not worry, it will come to you one day. Good day.</p>
<p>Curt, I understand your frustrations with UF and I don’t think it is acceptable either- even for the more traditional student without a family. I just think it’s only respectful to offer acceptees at minimum a few months to decide on huge decisions such as housing. And most universities seem to agree with this.</p>
<p>Brente-I was aware that they take quite awhile to decide before I applied, but that doesn’t mean that I respect this aspect about them.
No need for the hostility on the forum.</p>
<p>Congrats on UM Curt. Are you still a cell science major? I am likely not going to UF next term even if admitted because I am basically switching majors to biomedical science (a microbiology/molec. bio degree), likely at UCF. While I would really like to go to UF, my biggest priority are my plans for grad school…that’s a whole different decision for the future.</p>
<p>Tinuviel - Thank you! I have to say, I was not sure I had a chance. Either way, UM was always 1A and UF 1B if finances were taken out of the equation. </p>
<p>I did not know UF was going to be by mid-November until much after I applied. </p>
<p>Yes on cell science (Micro/Immunology). Good luck at UCF if that’s where you decide to go. I have been hearing good things about that school!</p>

<li> I’m 28</li>
<li> I’m in the military and mature enough.</li>
<li> You expecting an earlier decision than anyone else based on circumstance is you expecting special treatment, especially with your grades. </li>
<li> You made some poor life choices when you were younger, stop expecting everyone else to care. Your circumstances mean nothing to me.</li>
<li> Being almost 40, I thought you would know most of this.</li>
<li> You’re wrong about CALS and CLAS, because the programs are the same except for the life science electives, which are much better at CLAS.</li>
<li> I addressed your post because this is an open forum for students that genuinely want to go to UF. You are no longer one of those students, and have said that you want to tell them to stick it. Who’s being immature?</li>
<li> I never said I was awesome, but thanks.</li>
<li> If you are going to respond to this, please stop being so long winded, you sound silly.</li>
<li> Good day.</li>
</ol>
<p>thank you guys for all the sharing! I applied for Spring 2012 semester on Aug 31 and still waited for admission :(. I applied for Food Science and Human Nutrition major, specialized in Nutrition Sciences.</p>
<p>Hi gzxcy15, glad you joined the thread! As you’ve probably read, I also applied for the FSHN major, but with specialty dietetics instead of nutrition sciences.
Because of this I will likely not be going to UF, and if I did, it would be under the nutrition science specialization or under a whole different major entirely: the microbiology major (not sure what UF calls it), largely due to being pre-professional and needing additional requirements.
But I cannot go to UF now for spring 2012 under any different major or program as they do not let you change and want to to graduate in four terms or less- so I’ll be needing to take some extra courses before coming to UF. Since I already have 80 credit hours (not including this term), I am not likely to be accepted again after yet another term. (After a certain number of credit hours, some universities reject on this basis and recommend finishing at that institution.) So looks like I may just stay with UCF, where I already got accepted a year ago for nursing.
Not staying in nursing…but UCF lets you change to anything and take as long as you like.
I will still share status updates on here though. 
I’ve only seen one CALS acceptance on here!</p>
<p>Congrats BlueDiamond! (pretty sure that is CALS)
Would you mind sharing your stats?</p>
<p>Hi Tinu! yeah I read all your post here and I am sad you may not going to UF anymore 
I am planning to be an registered dietitian so I wishes to switch to Dietetics specialization. But since you guys said uf doesn’t allow transfer student to switch major, I am not sure whether I can do that anymore.</p>
<p>I will share my status updates here too :)</p>
