University of Florida Fall 2015 Transfers

It depends. I applied Jan 13. They received all my transcripts by Feb. 2 and the same day they sent my application to the college of engineering and after two weeks my application was approved. My boyfriend applied the same day, Jan. 13, also as an engineering major, and as of today his status still says that it is being evaluated.

@GabekingSG‌ @Stiggz‌ It is not always like that. Mine took 1 months and a half, I know of people whose application took 4 months to be evaluated. My boyfriend’s application has been “waiting for gpa to be calculated” for over 2 months now.

@wendyyy0207‌ @Stiggz‌ damn, I’m just hoping to get a decision by May

I got accepted!!!
Status changed to “Congratulations!!! Your application to the University of Florida for the Fall 2015 term has been approved!”

College: College of Engineering
Major: Computer Science
Overall-GPA: 3.35 (With F years back in Physics from Germany)
Overall-GPA (without that old grade, and US only gpa): 3.95
Pre-Prof GPA: 3.85

I applied back in October/November, about a week after the transfer applications opened :slight_smile:

@BlackMetal‌
Go check your status!

Congratsss !! @Test90‌ .
How long did your application take to change from “Being evaluated” to “Sent to college”?

@Test90‌ Dude, congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you!! Unfortunately, mine still says sent to college :frowning: I did apply later than you, though, in late December. Hopefully my decision will be in the coming week!

Now I’m going to be checking my status like 15 times a day haha :-SS

Thank you guys :smile:

@BlackMetal‌
I thought maybe they will go through everything now at once… But I know it, I first wondered today why the status looked so weird after seeing the same thing every day for months now :smiley:

@wendyyy0207‌
I think my status changed to “sent to college” after the Christmas break, so probably early January… Without all the holidays in between it was probably about 6 weeks or something along those lines for the status to change.

@Test90‌ I called the Computer Science department yesterday and they told me the deadline for them to decide is early May, but they assured me it would be well before that. I applied with only 3 critical tracking courses, Calc 1 and 2, and Chem 1, and I’m in Calc 3 and Physics 1 right now, and will take Physics 2 in the summer, so perhaps they are waiting to see how I do this semester since I don’t have a lot of pre-reqs done? -shrugs-

@BlackMetal‌
That might be it, I had all my pre-reqs done including Programming I (and II).

@Test90 I know that they prioritize based on certain criteria (people with all critical tracking courses have priority, CC students over university students, in staters over out of staters, etc) if I don’t get in because of too few pre-reqs I will just re apply for spring :slight_smile:

I really don’t know how they do it anymore. I applied with 3 pre-reqs completed out of 7 (Calc 1, Calc 2 and Physics 1). I am currently taking Calc 3 and Physics 2, and will be taking Chem 1 and Differential Equations in the summer. I got accepted in just a month and a half and I am a university student. It makes me believe they do it randomly. I don’t think pre-reqs are going to be a problem. They just want you to complete everything before you start over there I guess @BlackMetal‌

I applied 2/9 for Fall 2015, they received all my transcripts on 2/12.

I’m applying to the College of Engineering Computer Science program.

My status still says computing my GPA.

This wait is killing me. Its been 2 months and still waiting for my GPA to be calculated. Ive tried to contact them and all they tell me is that its peak application time, so just wait

@DRD941‌ My boyfriend is in the same situation. He applied Jan 13. Over 2 months and nothing. The wait is killing us. We can’t wait to decide what we’re gonna do and UF is not cooperating. They need to hire more people to review applications and calculate GPAs lol

@wendyyy0207 They really do need to hire more people, especially for “peak application time” haha

@wendyyy0207‌ So UF actually sent my application sent to the business school about a week, but they havent updated it on the website. I would have your bf contact admissions again

Test90 getting accepted gave me hope a decision would be soon. Still no decision yet :((

anyone receive an update on their application status yet? Mine is still at “your application has been received and is being evaluated”

I have applied to transfer on the 16th and today I have received the notification that my application was referred to my college for a final decision

Guys I have a question. I read we had to make the $200 deposit by May 1. Does that mean that everyone is going to have a decision by that time? Well I guess. I’m really stressed with UF taking so long.
