University of Florida Spring 2016 Transfers

you’re good, if anything better than me and I just got accepted today. They told me I had to receive a minimum of a B on the two pre reqs im taking and finish my A.A before Spring. They’ll probably do something similar to you.

@ holy: What is your major?

Same as you lol, CLAS/ Economics.

@holyranger80 Do you know your living arrangements yet?

Lakewood villas are good, you would need a roommate though. or the commons. I’m far from campus right now but am moving closer in December. into the commons with a roommate. it really is the only way to go about living close to campus. it is near impossible to find a once bedroom for a decent price too close. @Gthang91 anything off 62nd is decent and close to the bus stops for getting to school.

@Gthang91 I have a general plan of living with a few friends I have at UF but I haven’t really planned anything concrete yet.

How long did it take for you to receive a final decision from CLAS after admissions calculated everything?

About a month and a half

I just got accepted! I am so happy right now!

For those curious about the timeline: I submitted my application to CLAS mid-August and it took me a month and a half to receive my online notification.

For people curious about my stats: (posting them again)

@Gthang91 : Yes, I am think about housing as well. I know it is a little bit to early to thing about it.

Do you think I have a chance to get in to UF for spring 2016?
Thank you in advance for your response

@ainulchy I know a few people in this thread have heard back. I have received an update on the status check ( http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/appstatus.html ) that said I got in. I received the official notification in the mail yesterday.

@wixshy99 Overall you have better grades than I did (well about the same - very slightly better) and I got in for bio. Although they look at you holistically, so as long as you’ve done work/volunteer/internships outside of school then you should be good.

@IFeedCats transfer admissions are not holistic

@wixshy99 Hopefully you get in. I applied too!

@Gthang91 Are they not? I read somewhere that they are, which is why we fill out the mini-essays and information on what we have done.

Edit: Various schools do state they look at transfers holistically on their website. It depends on your major, I guess.
