UF Transfer Thread-Spring 2010

[rsala004]

should confirm that they receive all immunization stuff, when i arrived at my preview..something happened and i could not register

[StevieD561]

i called admission today to check my status (even though i knew the answer) and i ended up asking them if the business college had an absolute deadline for notification. the women i spoke with said they did not. can anyone verify where this "november 15th" deadline was found?

[Oreos&Milk]

Stevie... I called and they told me November 15. Three different people have told me. And there really does have to be some kind of deadline, lol, we can't be waiting for life.
Nothingggggggggg....

Has anyone heard back from College of Journaliam and Communications for transfering in spring 2010?

[GATORJV]

Make sure you guys get in that immunization stuff and congrats!!!! It has to be in 15 days before orientation (or you can't register for classes).

[KFORKAHLA]

Congrats TalkUF2Me!!!! That's awesome

Soon2bGator, I have. I saw my acceptance on Halloween night. Not sure when it was changed but I know it wasn't that at 4:30pm on last Friday.

[TALKUF2me]

thanks everyone. And that nov. 15 i think is the college of ag and life sciences deadline. I am not sure it is for all of UF. Thanks for the website and all the info. I got to get me butt in gear!!!!!

I made a thread about this but no one wants to reply ...so I guess I'll just post it in here since this is the official transfer thread, please help me!!!

I'm currently a sophomore at Valencia Community College in Orlando who desperately wants to transfer to UF to major in Materials Science & Engineering. My cumulative GPA right now is a 3.66 and I'm in the Honors Program.

1) How bad do withdrawals look on my transcript? I have one WP (withdrawal passing) from my first semester last fall...I'm sure it won't affect me that bad but I'm really worried about a 6 credit Interdiscplinary Studies Honors class that I'm taking right now...I screwed up the first few weeks and now I'm going to have to work really hard just to make a B in the class. I've only gotten 3 Bs since I started at Valencia...if I get a B in this class my GPA will drop to a 3.6, even if I make As in all of my other classes (Calc II, Chem I Honors, and Speech Honors)...but if I withdraw from the class (and end up with a 2nd "W" on my transcript) and get As in my other three classes I'll be able to raise my GPA from a 3.66 to a 3.74. Should I withdraw from this class or should I not risk it and just take the B and drop my GPA?

2) I plan on sending in my application early January (the deadline for Fall 2010 is March 1st)...but the problem is that I will not completely finish all of my prerequisites until the end of Summer 2010. Next semester the prerequisites I'll be taking are Calc III and Physics I so I won't be able to take my final prerequisites (Differential Equations and Physics II) until the summer semester. Is this going to affect my application and my chances of getting in? How exactly does the process work when you send in an application while still finishing up your prereqs?

3) How much extracurricular should I have on my transcript? Right now the only thing I'm involved with is the Phi Theta Kappa honor society...should I join more clubs/associations like SGA and maybe try to get some volunteering done before I apply in January?

I really really really want to be a part of the Gator Nation...I've been praying ever since I started at Valencia that I'll get in to UF, it's my dream right now. Do I really have a chance at getting in? Everyone I've talked to in my honors classes who are applying to UF all have 3.8-3.9 GPAs and are doing alot of extracurricular activities...it makes me really worried that I won't get in

WOOHOO!!! I checked this morning and i got ACCEPTED!!! YIPPEEE

*does a rave dance* it about time!

[hahathatsfunny13]

Congrats, Spidey!

Has anyone who has been accepted but not yet turned in the immunization form have an immunization hold on their record on ISIS? I faxed in my form last Friday, and I don't have a hold on my record, but I never saw one on there before I submitted. I tried to call to verify that the Health center received and approved my form so I can register next week, but they just told me to look at ISIS...

I just want to make sure I'll be able to register at Preview!

[StevieD561]

so i finally was able to contact the office of admission for the business college. after being bounced around, i was finally able to speak with the admission representative who informed me that i had been rejected to the main campus but accepted to the online school. they were unsure as to why it had not updated, but i got my answer within minutes.

to those of you who have not heard, jump on he phone and get some answers! good luck! to those of you who were accepted, congrats and i wish you well! see you for graduate school perhaps?

thank you for your time and company everyone! off to USF!

[GATORJV]

Hey haha, I just checked and I do have a hold on my record for the Health form and a couple other things (like being a new student). If only I could get my freaking immunization form from my doctor!!!!!!! They are taking forever to fill it out and approve it.

[hahathatsfunny13]

Thanks for checking, GatorJV. It took my doctor forever to fill out the form too.

"UFID: At this time, we are unable to offer you a contract for the Spring 2010 contract period. Should this change we will send you additional information via email and/or US mail about completing a contract."

(I replaced my UFID with the words "UFID") does this mean that dorming is full and i am unable to apply for dorming?

[Spidey]

So all we need are the immunizations to start registering for classes?

And this is exactly what I feared....housing. I hope that there is still space for transfers.
