University of Florida Spring 2017 Transfers

@cutlass516 I submitted my application on August 3rd and got my transcripts in a couple days later. My application status stayed frozen for over a month. I finally called the school and got them to refer me for final decision on September 12th and I was accepted this morning (I’m assuming it was this morning because I checked frantically all day yesterday with no change to the point where I was exhausted and decided to stop checking around 5pm yesterday evening. I could have been accepted last night for all I know). Looking back it wasn’t all that long of a wait but it sure seemed like it!

@TheDefeater . Thank you for that information. I seem to be within that time frame. I submitted my application August 2nd and my transcripts finally got there about two weeks later. Since August 22nd I have had all of my transcripts in and I have been seeing that same status for about month now.

@stardust1995 it seems I am behind you by about 2 weeks. Because I submitted my application August 2nd but my transcripts didn’t get there until 2 weeks later. I saw you mentioned that you contacted the school,were you able to get them to send your application to the college for final decision?

@cutlass516 Yes, I asked the representative if he could change my application status and he was able to do so with a click of a button. This happened on the 12th and I was accepted a week and a half later. Sometimes the admissions office just needs that extra push to get your application rolling.

@stardust1995 WOW. I didn’t know that was something you can request. I’ve called about twice a week for the past month and all of the agents recognize me when I call. They often say “it will be another couple of weeks” I honestly will give it a shot and see what happens. I’m tired of seeing that damn same screen…lol

I am a Political Science major as well. I applied on September 7th and they received my final transcript on September 15th. I was referred to the college last week.

Current University: Florida Atlantic University
GPA: 3.5
Major: Political Science

Does anyone think I have a chance within this major? I have been stressing out. Has anyone received a decision as a political science major?

@lmoran I’m in a similar situation as you are. I called CLAS this morning and since my application got referred to them on the 21st, meaning last Wednesday they told me that they would give me a decision by the first week of October (the latest because sometimes they give it to you sooner)

I applied September 9th, they got all my transcripts by the 13th, and my application got sent to the college the 21st… so we’re only a few days apart but the process is going relatively fast from what I’ve noticed in my case. The receptionist told me that as long as you have all the prerequisites and meet the GPA or have above it that you should be fine, and that if you’re still completing some classes that are prerequisites (I’m still finishing up political theory and stats) they will accept you conditionally, and then you just send your final transcripts at the end of the semester.

Has anyone got decision from college of engineering. My application has been stuck for almost 2 months now. I have called them few times but they always says that its under review.

Hi everyone.
Current School: Florida SouthWestern State College
GPA: 3.85
Pre-Prof: 4.0
Major: Economics

I applied to UF on 8/22 and my application was referred to CLAS on 9/15. I was accepted last night. Total process took just over a month. It was great to see “Welcome to the Gator Nation!” Hope this helps!!!

@Gator_01 I’m not applying for engineering however my application was submitted 8/6 and I’m still waiting to be referred to CLAS for final decision…

I have finally been referred to the College for final decision! I honestly thought my application was caught up in some computer glitch, preventing it from progressing. I’m just glad I don’t have to see “we’re calculating your gpa”…

Hey everyone.
College: Santa Fe College
Current GPA: 4.0
Major: English

I submitted my app 8/31 and it got referred for final decision on 9/15. Still waiting for anything else, fingers crossed!

I completely forgot to add my pre prof, which is a 4.0 as well. Really hope I get in, I’m stressing out over waiting haha. I have a W but that’s from a chemistry class that I was definitely going to fail so I figured a W was better than a D/F

@altaria Good luck. You should find out any day now. Your scores are great, I truly believe you won’t have any issues. Plus, transfer students primarily get precedence over Freshman applicants, so I’ve been told by UF admissions.

@cutlass516 Thank you! Just found out tonight that I was accepted!! I’m so happy haha. Overall my total wait time from application to acceptance was about a month. I hope you get good news soon!!!

Congratulations to all of you :’) see you guys there lol.

That’s awesome! Congratulations on your acceptance @altaria

I should find out soon, I’m waiting for the final decision. I hope to join all of you who have been accepted !

OHHHHHHHHHHHH BOYYYYYYY!!! I don’t know what compelled me to check my status at 11:30 PM but I am glad I did. I GOT ACCEPTED!!! I literally had goose bumps!

This forum has served as a means to cope with the misery of waiting and waiting for a decision. Congratulations again to all who have been accepted!

@cutlass516 see its about patience, congrats!

@TheDefeater Thank you buddy! Hahaha. You’re right. I lost my patience there after 2 months.

@michisierra thank you so much for the info! I am still waiting for a final decision. Let me know when you get a final decision back! I am going to call the college today because I have a couple questions. Hopefully we will know by next week! Stressful!!!
