Questions and chances for transfering to FSU as a Sophomore in Fall 2010

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hey, first of all thank you for looking at my topic because i am really concerned about if i can get into FSU as a Sophomore in the fall. I have decided to major in Accounting or Marketing. So i have alot of questions to how can i make it as smooth as possible and what are my chances of getting in in the fall.</p>

<p>This is what the FSU websites requirements for transfer students.
Freshman and sophomore applicants (12-59 semester hours of transferable credit as determined by the Office of Admissions) must:</p>

<p>



    * Meet freshman admission criteria;
    * Have at least a 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) cumulative GPA on all college work attempted;
    * Have at least a 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) GPA on all college work attempted at the last institution;
    * Satisfy the Florida College-Level Academic Skills requirement; and
    * Meet the requirements for admission to the major/program of interest.

This is really just the basics so with my current stats what are my chances.

In HS i got a 3.22 gpa but i had alot of extra curricular activities just like now but i will talk about that part later.

As of right now i have a 3.125 gpa after 2 semesters. Here are the classes i have taken and my grades.

<p>i am planning on taking the ACT’s again in Feb so that i can increase my scores, especially my reading because it is one point of on the CLAST minimum.</p>

<p>Also it seems like they dont require any transfer essays which i thought that was really weird so i was wondering how should i send them and other stuff that could possibly help me transfer. For example I read that recommendation letter are really useful for and could help persuade the readers into accepting me but it seems like they dont say that they need them. So i was wondering should i get like a mannila envelope full of recomendadion letters and like an essay to why they should let me in and send it to the admision office and if i send it will it actually be read? Because i was thinking of like having 2 or 3 letters from my professors saying how i handled college work. Also it seems that when i send in my application i am nothing more than just a number and a name to them and i cant talk about my accomplishments or anything like that. I have participated in many sports and leadership positions. For example i am an eagle scout and i was thinking of sending a letter from my scoutmaster hoping that it would do somehow benefit me. Also in my CC i am a assistant marketing chair adviser for my local community service organization and a student ambassador. i was wondering if there is any way how i can get that to them and like letters from our organization president to write letter for me so that i could send to them. Also for my essay what do i write about, how FSU would benefit me and how my attendance and participation would benefit them?</p>

<p>So i hope this is enough information about me and would give you a better idea if i have a chance and answers to some of my questions. thank you</p>

<p>i think you’ll get in (: i’m pretty much on the same boat, as far as ACT scores- except my english and reading are higher and math is a 19 :frowning: i applied as a freshman with that and a 4.2 gpa and they rejected me because my score didn’t meet the criteria by a couple points :confused: but i’m applying as a summer transfer with hopefully a 4.0 college GPA. i am attending community college this semester and then UCF next sememster. not too hot on UCF though. tell me if you got in!</p>
