<p>Hello! :) </p>

<p>I haven't seen a thread for College of Agricultural and Life Sciences applicants for 2014 so I figured I'd start one!
I recommend posting your stats and when you applied to help everyone else out. Of course ask any questions you have and I'm sure someone can help you out!</p>

<p>Transfer from Eastern Florida State College
Overall: Applied with a 3.53 (will be 3.65 in May when I get my AA)
Pre-prof:3.86
Nutritional Science (Pre-Dental) ... Although I want to switch to a Microbiology major with a minor in Nutrition if they allow it, since the majors have the same pre-reqs. Anyone know if transfer students can switch majors within the college?</p>

<p>Applied January 4th, transcripts sent on 1/31/2014. My app was sent to CALS for a final decision about a week later.
I sent 3 letters of recommendation and have a few extracurriculars, although I've been informed those probably won't be considered.</p>

<p>Generally, no, transfers are not supposed to be able to change majors. I’d talk to someone at CALS though since they have the same pre-reqs. </p>

<p>Anyone know how competitive the Zoology major is?</p>

<p>Hey there,</p>

<p>True, I haven’t seen any CALS threads around…</p>

<p>Actually, I just got admitted a few weeks ago! Here were my stats:</p>

<p>Transfer from Santa Fe College
Overall: Applied with a 3.77
Pre-prof:3.4
Pre-pharmacy - Biology (concentration on Biotechnology)
I sent my application in on Februrary 1st, and all my transcripts got sent in by March 11th.
I didn’t send in any letters of recommendation as I had spoken to someone from advising, and they told me that wasn’t necessary.</p>

<p>As for changing majors, I also asked about this and the guy from advisement told me that this it was possible, but not very common. You’d need a compelling reason to change majors but he told me that it could be done.</p>
