University of Florida Fall 2015 Transfers

@wendyyy0207‌ Congrats to both of you. Unfortunately for me, the advisor for the business school informed me that the end of April will be the earliest I heard back with a decision. Guess I have to just keep waiting

Denied =P~
Expected it, though. The advisor told me I most likely would be due to too few pre-reqs (still have 3 to complete, I’m in 2 right now and am taking the last one this Summer) But he said complete this semester and send the transcripts, and he’ll see if there’s any extra spots open. If not, he said just apply for Spring and I should be fine

Here’s my gameplan now: I think I will just wait until Spring. It will be nice to have a semester off, work part or full-time somewhere and just relax. 2 friends in Gainesville have a spot open in an apartment for only $400/mo, so I will move in with them and work in Gainesville for the Fall. (Because if I moved in the Spring, they’d find someone else, and I would have to get a 1/1 which is $1000 a month…no thank you…)

@BlackMetal‌ wow that’s crazy! You have a great prereq and standard gpa, so you’d think they would overlook the fact you haven’t completed all your prereqs and atleast give you a conditional acceptance.

@BlackMetal
Sorry to hear, but at least you will be fine and you know what to do :slight_smile: See you in Spring then :slight_smile:

@BlackMetal‌ Woah, I’m actually pretty surprised by your denial. Im sorry man, it really is the worst feeling. It’s not over until its over!

@BlackMetal‌

I’ve been lurking on this site for a while now and following your story specifically. I’m a hopeful Aerospace major and I was thinking of applying for this fall as well. My CC’s physics department sucks and I’ve been hoping to take it up at UF, so I don’t fall behind other students in the junior level classes. I’m even taking Chem 2046 to make up the 6 out of 8 prerequisites and avoid physics at my CC. I’ve talked to a few advisers who said that even so, UF prefers 8 out of 8 prerequisites, considering the limited space. Your response confirmed my suspicions. I’ll take Physics 1 and 2 at my CC instead.

Damn dude, it’s crazy what we have to go through to get in to this place. Even so, keep your head up, never lose hope and always have a plan.

Good luck.

@DRD941 @Test90 @rlr711 @IAmSparkz Thanks for all the kind words guys!! I’m not too beat up about it :slight_smile: Seeing as the reason was too few pre-reqs, its reassuring knowing that I just have to wait, and it wasn’t my grades or anything

IamSparkz, yeah, it seems like amount of pre-reqs completed takes priority over absolutely everything I guess, even if you have good grades. -shrug- Can’t do anything about it :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, if anything ‘were’ to happen for some reason where I couldn’t go to UF, going to Valencia College guarantees me acceptance to UCF as long as I have a 2.0 gpa (lol), and they are also great for Computer Science (#2 behind UF, in my opinion) so I’d be very happy there as well!

Damn :confused: but you should defenitely try again next semester. There’s nothing to loose. Good luck !! @BlackMetal

i think you have to keep checking, because I didn’t even know i had to send something else in. I should get my decision this week but i am nervous to see if i get in. As for my backup plan, i am applying for fsu but i already got into FIU for fall 2014 but i never went. Does anyone know if i have to reapply even if i have already been accepted before? also what are your opinons on FIU vs FSU psychology wise

just checked my app for UF and i was denied, this leaves room for fsu though. I will be applying to other schools in florida.

What were your stats? I’m very sorry, remember, it’s not over till it’s over!

3.2 gpa, but will have 3.5 after spring semester
AP psych: 4

@Schmakie how long did you have to wait?

They received my application on March 21 and I’m still wanting…so nervous lol
anyways my current GPA is 3.8 and pre-prof GPA is 4.0, I will have my AA at the end of this month and so far I’m doing good in those class.

What major did you apply for? Were you missing any critical tracking prerequisites when you applied?

I’m applying for Accounting and possibly to minor in Finance as well, but they told me that will be after I receive a respond. I applied for UCF as well earlier this year but they am being deferred because they want my final transcript before making any decision.

Oh I’m taking the last pre-req class now which is managerial accounting. Do you think they are waiting until I finish this class to see my grade?

I don’t know. I’m applying for the College of Engineering Comp Sci program. The prereqs for that program are kind of strange in that one of them has to be completed at UF, and they want you to have 6 of the 7 done by the time you apply, which means you basically have to have all of them done. I’m taking Physics II now, which means I only had 5 at the time I applied.

I have a feeling I’ve been placed on some kind of waiting list, and any slots that aren’t filled up by students with ALL the prereqs done will go to the ones who are missing some.

I talked to an advisor at the college and he said that their department only sees your grades in the 7 prereq classes. They don’t consider your overall GPA at all.

I’m sure it’s different for each college though so you may want to contact an advisor for your major.

They received mine March 9th & I’m sti waiting /: … I have to pay for summer classes tomorrow for Santa Fe, and if I don’t get in, I want to space my classes out between summer and fall … Kinda is a bummer I don’t know yet

I see, I finished 7 out of 8 pre-req for my major. I’m waiting until the 4 weeks waiting thing until I call them. About I week a go, they sent out a letter asking what I did during the time that I wasn’t in school. I submitted it and everything is good now, just waiting for a decision.

@taylucinda1 @chainy I hope you guys will hear from them soon! If I don’t get in UF or UCF, I think I will stay here at my community college since they accepted me already. I want to finish my classes fast but there isn’t any class that I can take for my bachelor during the summer so I’m not really sad.

I was accepted today. AA transfer from community college. Here is the message to all those who are anxious:

Congratulations!!! Your application to the University of Florida for the Fall 2015 term has been approved!

Official notification will arrive by mail, including the conditions of your admission as well as important orientation information.
