Florida State College System "2+2" Questions?

I’ve read about the F.S.C.S “2+2” plan and how if you get an Associate’s of Art degree from one of the Community Colleges that is within the system that you’ll basically get a guaranteed admission into one of the 12 public 4-year Florida Universities. I read that you won’t necessarily get into the college of your choice so I was wondering how do you, or the system or college choose which 4-year University you will get to go to? Cause my top choices in order if I’ll be able to get into them are FSU then UF then UCF. If I got to choose but again I’ve read you don’t (that may be false but I’m not sure) I’d prefer to go to FSU over any of the schools to major in International Affairs.

When you apply to the “University” it’s competitive based on your major. So, at FSU, you would apply to the international affairs major. Check with FSU, and determine which courses are required, before you can apply to the major. Then keep up a competitive GPA and you should be accepted.

Here’s the requirements for UF:

International Studies: Complete two of the following: INR 2001 (international relations), REL, 2300 (world religions), GEA 1000 (world geography) or the equivalents AND a beginning level foreign language sequence (preferably a language of the region of the world in which you wish to focus at UF). In addition to the above, complete 3 additional courses from the following list: any non-American history, ANT 2410, ARH 2050, ARH 2051, CPO 2001, ECO 2013, ECO 2023, GEO 2500, LAS 2001 LIT 2110, LIT 2120, SYG 2000. Must typically have a minimum 3.0 overall GPA to be competitive. Must typically have a minimum 3.0 GPA on all attempts of these courses to be competitive.

So would the guaranteed admission from the AA be into any University I applied to in the state except for private uni’s? Aside from what the major requirements are?

It’s guaranteed to a university, not to a specific major at a specific university. You still have to meet the major requirements. Some majors have very minor requirements, other have significant requirements.
