University of Florida Spring 2017 Transfers

@jats2k9 As long as I know DE is not required for transfer student. I took the same courses as you do and I am applying to CISE as well. you are not missing any critical courses. Good Luck!

Hi guys, I applied as a transfer student to the college of Journalism way back on July 12th. I was wondering if you guys could give me an idea of my chances to get in. I was not nervous until I started reading some of these posts! Also when are they going to pass my application through to the college of journalism?? It’s still stuck on “we will send your application to your college once your application is evaluated and your gpa is calculated.” Thanks everyone and good luck!!!

State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota
Overall GPA: 3.66
Pre-prof: 3.8
College of Journalism

@24dino Hello! My application has been stuck like that for the entire month of August. Some were lucky to receive acceptance within the month of August. However, UF has been busy getting everything ready for the students attending the fall semester. I was told by Admissions that in September we should start seeing more activity regarding the applications or in our case, our applications being sent to the college for final decision.

I called UF adminissions office today! They told me my application would be sent to my college for a final decision today and when I went on to check my application they had already done it. Sometimes you just need to call them to make things move around haha. I wonder how much longer until a decision comes! Nervous but excited!!!

@24dino that’s awesome! Im sure you’re excired. Good luck. Hope you get accepted. I’ve been calling about once or twice a week I may try again today. Hopefully something changes on my part.

@24dino Very nice, my application has been showing “Your application has been referred to your college for a final desicion…” for exactly a week now. Hopefully they don’t take longer than 2 weeks

Hey :slight_smile: I got my acceptance letter two weeks ago, around 3 weeks after I completed the online application. I’m a Biology Major and I’m transferring to the CLAS.
GPA: 3.87
Member of Phi Theta Kappa

Hey guys! I just got my acceptance letter!

Details:

Biochemistry Major - CLAS - GPA: 3.7 - Pre-Prof. GPA: 4.0

Conditions of admission: B or Better in Calc 2 - Physics 2 and Organic Chem 2 (Which I find quite weird that they demand all that considering I am well past my pre professional requirements…)

Anyways, good luck to all, and I’ll be here if you have any questions!

Congratulations!!! Did you find out online first or by mail?

@24dino Thank you, and I found out by mail, I was already a little sick of checking the online one and seeing the same thing everyday.

I just looked online and my application was approved!!! I’m so happy right now haha

GPA: 3.66
Pre-prof: 3.8
College: College of Journalism and Communications
Major: Telecommunications

Accepted!!!

@24dino Congrats!

@24dino and @TheDefeater CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is so awesome. I am still waiting…LOL I too have reached a point where I am tired of seeing the same screen. I’ve called UF numerous times to ask if there is anything holding up my application. Of course they said no.

Again, huge congrats to you both!!

@cutlass516 Thank you, and hopefully you’ll get your answer soon,

For those who were accepted already, here’s a link to what a ‘theoretical’ transfer preview should be like:

Hey guys! I just wanted to see if anyone could provide me with some insight on my chances of getting in for spring. I already got the notification that my application was referred to my college (CLAS) for a final decision.

Current university: FIU
GPA: 3.9
Major: Political Science

Im kinda nervous because I’m currently finishing up two classes that are prerequisites for my major but I’m doing extremely well in them

Hi @michisierra ,

I don’t really know how the chances are when it comes to non-state college students, but your GPA is pretty high so you might have a good chance

Just got accepted! I’m so shocked and excited that it hasn’t sunk in yet. I was doing my routine status check about fifteen minutes before 8:00 am (literally 20 minutes ago) and I’m just so pleased. I’m fairly stoic person but I can’t stop smiling. I’m transferring in from Santa Fe College, anthropology major, 3.31 GPA (should be higher after I replace a bad grade from last semester). I’m at a loss for words right now. Gator Nation!!!

@stardust1995 congratulations! I can only imagine your excitement. How long did it take from the time your application was submitted to the college for final decision to your acceptance?

Congratulations!!! @stardust1995 - same here lol nothing ever really moves me but that gave me some peace for sure.

By the way @cutlass516 , my application took a total of 43 days for acceptance in case you were wondering
