UF Transfer Thread-Spring 2010

<p>Any idea when departments start looking at Spring 2010 apps? I sent mine in a week ago, so the initial review would be done sometime this month. CLAS deadline is Sept 15 but what are the chances a review and decision would be around or maybe before that date? Being rolling admissions I guess that would be a possibility. I know it’s pretty early but it would be nice to know to plan out the fall.</p>

<p>xgraphite just imagine the longest possible time to get a decision, and thats when you will get ;]</p>

<p>no rolling admissions.
do not expect a decision before deadline, or the week after…or the same month.</p>

<p>so i won’t find out till late october or early november huh? b/c my app deadline is Oct 1st…the wait should be fun…lol</p>

<p>I like FSU more than UF. I think UF is too big. I have already make my choice.
This has nothing to do with fball btw.</p>

<p>how important is pre-prof GPA? my overall GPA is much higher than my pre-prof GPA…my pre-prof GPA is really low</p>

<p>rejected with a 3.61</p>

<p>DID you meet all REQ?
seems really early to be denied unless it was because of REQ. (not even denied by college of choice but by admissions itself)</p>

<p>i think it was b/c my pre-prof GPA was really low…here’s what it said</p>

<p>"We regret to inform you that your application for the Spring 2010 term was not among the limited number we were able to approve for admission.</p>

<p>Official notification and explanation have been mailed to your home.</p>

<p>We wish you success in your educational goals, and hope you will consider applying to the University of Florida as a graduate or professional student in the future."</p>

<p>before that it said my app had been referred to my college (Fisher School of Accounting)…so i think the college rejected me…not admissions themselves</p>

<p>what was your pre-prof?
sorry to hear about this btw ;[</p>

<p>3.4…i know the minimum was 3.7 for the Business College…i called them to make sure Fisher had a separate GPA and they said yes…and they said it was a 3.0…oh well though</p>

<p>I am applying for Political Science with a 3.64 and a 4.0 in prereqs. I am praying to god I get in! But I am not very confident. I don’t feel like a 3.64 is high enough to be accepted in Political Science because a lot of people have this major. I also applied to UNF (got in) and FSU. We will see I guess! Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>I’m no longer with much hope of getting into UF for spring; it seems they’re only getting tougher with admissions, but I suppose that’s only a good thing. My GPA currently is at 3.43 and what’s more, I’ve applied to the college that I just learned is the most populated, CLAS. I think it wise to send more applications out, I don’t think UF & FSU will suffice.</p>

<p>to Henry 02</p>

<p>USF :smiley: UF rejected me and i had a 3.61</p>

<p>Yeah Henry, I applied to Political Science, which is in CLAS. I have a 3.64 and 4.0 in prereqs and am not very confident about getting in. Many people that apply have 3.7+ with 4.0 in prereqs. To be honest, and not to sound mean, I don’t think you will get in (or will I for that matter). For UF, a 3.5 is generally the cut off for having a chance, but I also know people who got in with lower than that to CLAS, but not many. I would say keep your hopes up, but make sure you applied to other schools like I did (FSU, UNF). I hope we both get in though! But feel we are in the same boat in this one (that we both won’t get in). </p>

<p>I have heard from a lot of people that Spring is easier to get into, but I don’t know how true that is. Good luck! Keep us updated. Also, from what I understand, the school the poster above me applied to was Accounting or Business, which is REALLY HARD to transfer into. Usually a 3.7+ gets in for that. </p>

<p>Does your application say sent to college for Final decision Henry? And does anyone know how UF calculates GPA for transfer? I know they calculate a different GPA then community college.</p>

<p>I think you have a far greater chance of getting approved. I think a 3.5 is a fair requisite to transfer over to UF; however, like you mentioned, there is a slight chance of getting in with a 3.4, which is why I even bothered. I hoping to have at least a 3.5 before I transfer out to any school, but at the moment all the transcripts I’m sending out have me at 3.4. </p>

<p>No, mines still says: “Once your grade point average is calculated and your eligibility is confirmed, your application will be sent to your college for a final decision.”</p>

<p>How long ago did you send it out? I’m very curious to know how long I should have to wait to get a reply.</p>

<p>Is there any difference for the Online business program with Warrington College? Is the 3.7 GPA minimum still in effect?</p>

<p>I submitted my application on the 28 of July (around there). My last transcript was in last Friday. How about you? I remember when I applied for Summer 09, that it said sent to college for a while. Then I got a letter of intent form and had to write two essays. I am pretty sure UF doesn’t have rolling admissions (you might want to check that). The deadline for CLAS is Sep. 15, so I don’t think any decisions will be sent out till then. I know I didn’t get my letter telling me I was denied and to reapply for Spring 2010 until mid-late May (2 months after the deadline). It will probably take a while. The only reason I think we might get it sooner is because less people apply for Spring (from what I’ve been told). We can both wait in anticipation together! :stuck_out_tongue: Hopefully we both get in!</p>

<p>I have no idea about the business thing, you will want to call the college. I only know about CLAS and Political Science. Even then, I am not sure about everything to do with both.</p>

<p>I’m so anxious. I only recently decided to apply to transfer, and my transcripts arrived to UF yesterday. I’m applying to CALS Biology, and I’ve got a 3.86 GPA. I’m worried because while I think I have all the prerequisite courses, most of them were from AP credits. I just hope there’s a space for me :).</p>

<p>Also, do all of the prerequisites have to be completed by the time you apply or just by the end of this Fall semester?</p>

<p>by the time you plan arrive at uf</p>
