<p>The link you posted with FSU's rankings don't really prove the point you were trying to make. FSU's B-school is still ranked way behind UF's B-school.</p>
<p>Sure it does. FSU's College of Business has some excellent programs that most talented students would know about going into the course of study. </p>
<p>From the College of Business webpage: College</a> of Business | Dean's Office</p>
<p>U.S. News & World Report ranks the College of Business undergraduate program 29th among public institutions in the nation. (2008)

• FSU is ranked #15 by Kiplinger’s for the best value in public colleges across the country. (2008)</p>
<p>Those are excellent national numbers for a public university. UF's CoB has good programs as well, but not good enough to draw students away from FSU's COB, unless UF has an essential specialty that FSU does not have and vice-versa.</p>
<p>Writing that students would willingly transfer from FSU to UF for something like business is not credible. It does not make sense to transfer from one university to another for the perceived value due to something like magazine ratings. Most all students would say "so what?" if there is any significant difference at all. Note also that FSU has some great programs UF does not have, like Hospitality for example; R&I and RE are probably others.</p>
<p>US News UF COB rankings (over all, not public compared to FSU's rankings):</p>
<pre><code>* 27th Nationally
* 18th for Finance
* 20th for Management
* 8th for Marketing
* 8th for Real Estate
* 10th for Quantitative Analysis/Methods

* 15th for Accounting

<p>What do you mean students wouldn't just transfer to another university based on magazine rankings??? Your rebuttal to someone's comment about transferring from FSU's to UF's B-school was a link to a website that showed the same rankings you now say are meaningless. So in essence, you haven't given a good reason why a business student at FSU wouldn't want to transfer to UF. How could you use rankings to show why an FSU student wouldn't transfer to UF, then say rankings don't mean anything after seeing the UF rankings are higher than FSU's? So you basically invalidated your original "proof". lol :)</p>

<p>I am showing that UF is not that much better, if at all. I am using the typical currency of "prestige" on the CC to illustrate my point. Were I to question why someone who has competed to enter Florida State, then competed AGAIN to enter the FSU CoB would then, after all that, pull the plug to go to UF (excepting some compelling personal issue everyone would understand, and vice-versa), you would pull out the magazine ratings and proclaim superiority. Nonsense. As a former student in FSU's CoB I can assure you that would be perceived as a foolish move.</p>
<p>Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc - maybe. UF...no.</p>
<p>A good strategy (were one to remain in Florida) would be to go undergrad at one school then grad at another. This is reasonable. :)</p>

<p>You were the first to pull out anything related to ratings!!! lol Did you forget? Your post with a link to FSU's rantings was the #2 post on this thread! The original poster informed us that UF CoB was opening the doors to CC transfers but not allowing transfers from 4-year universities and just used FSU as an example: "you can not transfer in unless you are at a florida CC, you can't come in from say FSU anymore... Score!"</p>
<p>You got all insecure on us and had to post rankings/ratings (that frankly don't measure up to UF's) to an original post that had nothing to do with comparing FSU and UF's b-school. lol tsk tsk.</p>
<p>Have you graduated from UF or are you a student at UF now?</p>
<p>heh...not exactly what I thought this thread would turn Into so let me clarify..when I said no more transfers from like fsu, I was simply naming a random Florida college. I have nothing against fsu and was actually my second choice. Now that I made that clear...continue the argument!</p>
<p>I already graduated. Do you still have kids at FSU? Are you an FSU alumnus?</p>
<p>Yes, I graduated from Florida State (accounting/criminology) and also have my youngest daughter (dietetics) enrolled at FSU now. My older daughter (biochemistry) graduated from FSU this spring.</p>
<p>You (goufgators) said you're a University of Florida graduate, correct? Sorry for asking again, your answer was a little ambiguous. What did you study?</p>

Only thing is, you can not transfer in unless you are at a florida CC, you can't come in from say FSU anymore, and you can't come in from an out of state college either. Score!

<p>I take exception to the premise of this statement which is to imply that Florida State is like a prep school for UF, which I assure you it is not. The vast majority of the thousands of students at FSU have no intention of transferring to UF as undergraduates. There is little or no reason to do so. Grad school, sure - UF has much to offer as FSU does to UF grads. Consider this series of responses "insecure" if you want, I see it as my little contribution to preserve the good name and character of the university and its thousands of graduates. In fact, I consider it an honor and a duty. :)</p>
<p>Most real UF grads know exactly where I come from and quickly see I do not slight their school or diminish it. Fans, however, generally fail to comprehend the respect and usually begin ad hominem attacks out of frustration.</p>
<p>Parent2noles you are pretty delusional. UF is the better overall school get over it for Christ's sake!</p>
<p>pbgator1, I don't think parent2noles is trying to say that FSU is better than UF or is trying to put it down. I believe he is just trying to say that FSU offers an alternate option.</p>
<p>Besides, UF and FSU cutting out transfer students. It would be difficult to transition from one school to the other. Therefore it's just better to stick it out till graduation where ever you originally enrolled.</p>
<p>Unless you are, of course, enrolled in a community college as I am. lol</p>
<p>Hm, not only that, but apparently Warrington jumped to number 30 on the undergrad b-rankings. (businessweek)</p>
<p>hey guys i'm a student in florida cc planning to transfer in Fall09, does anyone know if the W(withdraw) grade would be calculated in the transfer GPA(all attempts)? cos when i tried the GPA calculator(Prospective</a> Students - School of Business - Warrington College of Business Administration) it got me really worried.....</p>
<p>As far as I know, Ws don't count towards your GPA in an AA transfer. I could be wrong, but I think I confirmed this with the UF advisors.</p>
<p>Thanks cos the reason I withdrawed was I was getting a B...</p>
<p>You know you can get 2 Bs or one C in the pre-professional classes and still be able to get the pre-professional requirement, right?</p>
<p>yeah i just wanted to get 4.0 in preprof courses at that time....i was too dumb lol</p>
<p>Yeah, I can understand the desire for a 4.0 still....I'm trying to keep my 4.0 for obtaining a decent internship purposes</p>
