UF, my chances? Computer Science

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Florida

<p>Hi everyone,
I found this forum already to be very useful, but I really dont know how my chances would be for UF as a transfer student...</p>

<p>At the moment I am studying Computer Science (AS Degree) in Texas at a Community College as an international student from Germany.
My current GPA ist 4.0, but I think my GPA at the end of my studies will be around 3.8 and my critical tracking GPA will probably be a 3.7, since I know my teacher in Physics is really hard and I cant really calculate in getting an A in both Physics classes...</p>

<p>I want to enroll in Computer Science (CSC), but I have no clue how competitive the Computer Science Program at UF is.</p>

<p>At the end of my studies I should have around 77 credits (since the College didn't accept foreign credits and I had to start from the beginning -> College Algebra, Trigonometry, etc.)</p>

<p>Would I have to submit my German Abitur? (Evaluated as a High School Diploma equivalent with a GPA of 3.3)</p>

<p>And my next question is, since I know Florida institutions want a second language, I wonder If I can take a test in my mother language (German) to show proficiency in a foreign language. Or would I have to take for example spanish classes here at the college?</p>

<p>What else would they want to see with my application? Only my college transcripts and proof of a foreign language?</p>

<p>Also I want to take an additional semester to boost my GPA if necessary and retake some classes. Does the UF accept replaced grades through retaking a class?</p>

<p>Thank you in advance,
Test90</p>

<p>Hi There. I have applied for the CS degree at UF for Fall 2013 and I’ve spoken to the advisors. From my understanding AS degrees will not transfer at all. </p>

<p>Sorry. This is all I know. Good Luck.</p>

<p>Hey :slight_smile:
I really appreciate your response, especially that you just joined to answer my question :slight_smile:
Thank you!
Yeah, it looks like that I will try next days to change my degree to an AA, hopefully that will work… Even if I just get an AA degree in General Studies with all my critical tracking subjects…</p>

<p>That is the best thing to do. Finish all you AA requirements and your critical tracking courses and you will be a shoe in, I’m sure.</p>
