<p>Not the average High School GPA of admitted students, but the GPA of actual UF students. </p>
<p>it just doesn’t matter! You could have a 4.0 and not be accepted into some of their colleges (going into your Junior Year)…</p>
<p>@hapyhapy What are you talking about? </p>
<p>There are a lot of programs/majors that you must be accepted to in spring semester of soph year…for example the College of Health Sciences …you could have a 4.0 and not get accepted…that is what I am saying. So to me a GPA doesn’t matter. Yes it matters that you don’t flunk out, but each student at this university was in the top part of their high school class…they get to UF and you are in a class of all top 10 of their graduating class of high school. Also a lot of students don’t take Chem, Bio, Calculus Physics etc and those classes are weed out classes and some students don’t make it out alive…so when you ask the avg GPA you are not comparing apples to apples…i think you should be more specific as to overall GPA of a math major or engineering major or history major…that way they are all taking comparable classes. Sorry…end of a long day at work…I should have just not answered you :)</p>
<p>@hapyhapy Well i am mainly asking because im curious about Grad school admissions. When i apply to grad school ill be evaluated in context to my undergrad school (UF) So i want to know what GPA to strive for to be ahead of the curve.</p>

<p>You can look at a couple of things…for example, take a look at 2013 Fall Commencement and determine how many, in your attended major are Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude and Summa Cum Laude (the GPA requirements change based on your major). That will give you an idea of what to shot for and how many are getting it…</p>

<p>The following may even be more useful. It includes a spreadsheet on “Percentage Distribution of Undergraduate Grades by College, Fall Terms (1989-2013)”</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.ir.ufl.edu/factbook/degree.htm”>http://www.ir.ufl.edu/factbook/degree.htm</a></p>
<p>Average GPA:</p>
<p>Business Administration: 3.04
Education: 3.74
Engineering: 3.29
Liberal Arts & Sciences: 3.31
etc…</p>
<p>Is applying to the College of liberal Arts & Sciences (for Zoology Major) harder to get into than the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (for Animal Science Major)?
What colleges of UF are easy to get into?
I want to transfer to UF but I know it will be harder to transfer if I apply to a department that is extremely competitive. I’m on a pre-vet track, and choosing a major that isn’t science related is fine as long as I fulfill the Veterinary School undergrad pre-reqs.
I’m currently an undergrad bio major at FIU, and will be applying for an AA so that I can transfer. I want to go to UF because I’ve heard that the animal science classes are awesome and FIU doesn’t offer any animal science classes.</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch</p>
<p>Hi, you can start by using this link:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.advising.ufl.edu/prospective/transfer.html”>http://www.advising.ufl.edu/prospective/transfer.html</a></p>
<p>If you move your mouse over the “Learn More” link after each CLAS major, you find out what GPA is required to be competitive as a transfer student. For example, a Biology (BA) recommends at least a 2.5 GPA, while a Biology (BS) recommends a 2.8 to 3.0 GPA. </p>

<p>That is some good data on the factbook site. Looking at degrees received I see Economics and Economics/Ba. Bachelor of Arts? But only .3?</p>

<p>It’s 0.33 or 1/3 …this note was at the bottom of the spreadsheet:</p>

<p>You can get one degree with two majors listed on your degree (a double major). This is different from a “dual” degree, where two degree’s are awarded. To be honest, until recently, I only knew about “dual” degrees.

<p>It looks like double majors are not that uncommon in CLAS. </p>
