lol..

when's your app deadline, and when do you guys find out?

I didn't apply to UF, but to FSU for spring 10'
They sent me a notification saying my app is on hold cause they need my CLAST scores.

my app deadline is October 1st for the Fisher School of Accounting..i think we find out after that..but not sure..i already found out about USF and was accepted

nnd1289 · 06-01-2009, 11:33 AM

i hope i find out before October so if i don't get in i can start looking for an apartment in Tampa..it's not easy to find an apartment in Tampa as it is in Gainesville

I applied to USF and UCF in addition to FSU, but I'm not interested in them. I haven't looked @ my status.
Did you guys apply to FSU?

nnd1289 · 06-01-2009, 04:50 PM

nope..just UF and USF

sophiegirl · 06-01-2009, 07:15 PM

Oh okay. What're your stats?

nnd1289 · 06-01-2009, 08:08 PM

right now i have a 3.55..by the time i'm done with Fall 09 i'm hoping to have a 3.6^...i doubt i'll get in with that GPA..a couple of years ago you could get into UF from Santa Fe with a 3.0..makes me mad

You never know. I didn't think I'd get into FL state. They have a pretty low acceptance rate for transfers.
I didn't apply to UF b/c at UF, it's almost impossible to get in if you're not a CC student. FSU doesn't have a preference, but they auto accept TCC kids.
Another thing you have to look at is the selectivity of your major.

rsala004 · 06-01-2009, 09:43 PM

sophie, i am not a cc student, i got in

sophiegirl · 06-01-2009, 11:30 PM

Wow! Well I'm taking it from some statistic I saw that said 10% of the transfers accepted were "other" (not fla cc).

rsala004 · 06-02-2009, 03:19 PM

sophie , i just went to preview that statistic is indeed correct ...lol

"raise of hand, who comes from cc"
**about everyone raises hand**
"I should have asked, who comes from university, raise hands"
**I raise my hand along with 2 others**

..this was in a full auditorium at the reitz union
^^

but dont think its impossible ;]
apply anyway, i thought i liked UF before...after attending preview I know I will be happy there.

there was even a couple (out of hundred+) out of state people

I was one of the ones in that auditorium who raised their hand for a CC transfer, rsala. : )

Anyway, don't be overly discouraged by that statistic, Sophie. I met a solid handful of transfers yesterday at Preview not from CC, so it certainly is possible. I definitely recommend at least applying.
