University of Florida Engineering High GPA For Transfer From CC?

Hello everyone, I’m a bit discouraged considering everything I’ve wanted to do at UF is either not accepting transfers or the GPA competitiveness is extremly high. My last goal was doing Mechanical or Aero or Civil engineering, but when I spoke with an engineering advisor today she told me that the average acceptance rates into all of those engineering programs was a 3.8 core. I consider myself very intelligent, but school has never been easy for me. I do not see myself getting that GPA. It would just suck to start all these prereqs only to fail if I get more than two B’s. I guess my question is, is it really that competitive? I’m going to Santa Fe right now, I always heard it was UF’s sister school and it was easy to transfer. This is the third major I’ve chosen and I’m just so tired of getting my hopes up and then finding out that it’s impossible or near impossible for me to get into the program. FYI I’m married and lets just say I’m stuck in Gainesville, so UF is kinda my only option.
