UF Transfer / Fall 2019

[sassygator1]

I’m currently working on my transfer application for UF Fall 2019. I’m transferring from a state community college with my AA degree. Here are my stats:

College: Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS)
Major: Microbiology and Cell Science
GPA: 3.64 (hopefully 3.7 after spring)
Critical Tracking GPA: 3.714 (hopefully 3.79 after spring)

What are my chances?? Does anyone know if CALS or microbio is competitive? I know transfers with an AA from a FL community college are considered first, but I’m worried about the competitiveness of the applicant pool vs available spaces.

[Gator88NE]

I would think your chances are excellent, as long as you’ve met all of the requirements. CALS isn’t super competitive, and they do accept/enroll the 2nd largest group of transfer students (behind CLAS).

Microbiology and Cell Science
Required G.P.A. = 2.0 overall and 2.5 in the following courses with a grade of C or better in each.
Students MUST complete the following courses before transferring:

CHM 2045 & 2045L General Chemistry 1 and Lab 4
CHM 2046 & 2046L General Chemistry 2 and Lab 4
BSC 2010 & 2010L General Biology 1 and Lab 4
BSC 2011 & 2011L General Biology 2 and Lab 4
MAC 2311 Analytic Geometry and Calculus 1 4

The following courses may be completed at the community/state college, but are not required for admission to the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, a grade of C or higher is required in each.

ECO 2013 Macroeconomics 3
or ECO 2023 Microeconomics 3
SPC 2608 Introduction to Public Speaking 3
ENC 2210 Technical Writing 3

@Gator88NE Thank you! Do you know if CALS uses rolling admissions?

[Gator88NE]

Yes, transfer admissions most but not all colleges/majors are rolling, in that you can have up to 4 different transfer applications due dates, each year.

CALS is rolling.

See the follow link for the transfer application deadlines (by semester):

https://admissions.ufl.edu/apply/transfer/trapdates

Nursing, is one example, that only has one transfer application due date, March 1st.

[sassygator1]

@Gator88NE So if I submit my application in January for the Fall 2019 term, could I get accepted before the April 15th deadline, or do they wait until after the given deadline to review all of the applications for that term?

[Gator88NE]

I would think so, but you should ask the college.

Contact Charlotte Emerson, Director, Student Development and Recruitment, with questions regarding transfer admissions.

I’m also wondering what my chances are of getting into UF this fall as a transfer student?
College: Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS)

GPA: 3.7
Current Institution: CC in Florida

Hello! I am applying to UF Fall 2019 from FSU

I will have my AA degree and all pre-reqs done by the end of this semester.
I am applying to College of Public Health.
Current GPA: 3.5 (hopefully 3.6 after spring!)
EC: orthodontist and bariatric surgery shadowing, health club, children’s hospital volunteer

What are my chances?

[Gator88NE]

For those transferring into CLAS, this link shows what’s required and also what’s needed to be a competitive candidate.

https://www.advising.ufl.edu/admissions/transfer-admissions/

For example:

Political Science:
Complete STA 2023 and 3 Political Science courses from: POS 2041, INR 2001, CPO 2001 or POT 2002. Must typically have a minimum 2.5 overall GPA to be competitive. Must typically have a minimum 2.5 GPA on all attempts of these courses to be competitive.

Political Science isn’t a “limited access” program and is not very competitive.

On the other hand, the Bachelor of Public Health is a limited access program, so it’s much more competitive.

To be considered for admission at the junior level, students must have:

Completed the following prerequisite courses
General College Biology BSC2005 or BSC2010
Statistics STA2023
Six (6) credits of Social and Behavioral Sciences, including PSY2012 as the state core
English Composition ENC1101 and ENC1102
Advanced Professional Writing ENC2210 or ENC3453
NOTE: Only 1 AP/IB credit will be accepted toward a prerequisite. If a student has AP credit for more than 1 major prerequisite course, an undergraduate advisor may substitute an alternative, existing course or courses to satisfy any remaining prerequisite requirements.

A 3.0 or higher overall GPA and 3.0 or higher prerequisite GPA
An AA degree or 60 transferable college level credits
Completed all General Education and Gordon Rule requirements
Applied formally to the college by February 1.
The college application packet is available online.
Transfer students must apply separately to UF and to the college, so they must submit two different applications.

The 3.0 GPA is a minimum requirement. It needs to be higher to be competitive.

@bagelluvr98 make sure you’ve submitted both applications.

So if I submit my application in January for the Fall 2019 term, could I get accepted before the April 15th deadline, or do they wait until after the given deadline to review all of the applications for that term?

I don’t know, you can ask the college. I assume the worse case is that they wait until they receive all of the applications for that term, before making decisions. However, each college may have it’s own policy.

[Gator88NE]

We are currently reviewing transfer applications for all majors in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for Summer and Fall 2019. (Note: Transfer students cannot apply directly to the Interdisciplinary Studies majors.) If you have already applied for transfer admission, please check the status of your application. If you have not received a decision, please keep in mind that your application has to be reviewed by both the Admissions Office and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and this process can take time as we do receive a large volume of applications this time of year.

**We expect to have most of our applications with complete credentials reviewed and decisions made by March 15 for Summer A/C, April 15 for Summer B, and June 15 for Fall 2019. **

Feel free to contact us at CLASTransfer@advising.ufl.edu or (352) 392-1521 if you have any questions throughout the process particularly if you have any new information that might be helpful to our Admissions Committee.

Hey whats up guys, on the uf transfer website it says minimum 3.0 gpa to be competitive for requirements for Econ transfer. I’m exactly at a 3.0 gpa for that. what do you guys think ? I have a 3.23 cumulative which should be at least at a 3.35 by the end of this last semester finishing my AA. good luck to everyone

Hi everyone. UF is one of my top choices. Good luck to all.

California community college student
White / Female
Major: Telecommunications
GPA: 3.9
Extracurriculars: YouTube and freelance writing/editing
Job/Work Experience: part-time teacher
Volunteer/Community service: 5 years for hospice care, 2 years for food banks, 3 years tutoring, 1 year teacher’s assist

I couldn’t find too much about transfer requirements, but on the journalism department page it said to complete the equivalents of:

ENC1102 – Argument and Persuasion
AMH2020 – American History since 1877
POS2041 – American Federal Government
STA2023 – Introduction to Statistics
ECO2013 – Principles of Macroeconomics
Attention Advertising & Public Relations Majors: PSY2012 General Psychology is accepted in lieu of POS2041

I’ve done those all (except taking macroeconomics next quarter, I’m taking micro now) so hopefully I have a shot!

[sassygator1]

Have any of y’all submitted your apps and heard any updates? They just received all of my transcripts this week and I’m wondering about how long it usually takes to be referred to the college for a final decision.

[90smix]

Rejected Decision was posted 03/04/2019. Oh well! I was missing one pre-requisite (macroeconomics).

[sassygator1]

@90smix I’m sorry! is the missing pre req the reason you were rejected?

[90smix]

@sassygator1 It’s okay! And yeah my letter said “Thank you for your interest in our degree programs. Unfortunately, we are unable to admit you at this time. You are missing one or more of our required prerequisite courses.”
