Thanks for explaining it better than I did, kttn2103. You have a very low chance at getting in if you are transferring from an out of state community college, whether you are a Florida resident or not. UF is extremely hard to get into from out of state, especially if you’re transferring from out of state. There is actually a law in place in Florida that says the universities must take community college/state college transfers from in state before they take ANYONE else. This is done to ensure that all the people graduating with AA degrees in Florida have a place to go and continue their education. You need to focus on getting your AA degree and prerequisites done before you apply, because you will not be accepted without an AA degree and your prerequisites completed for your major.

Another thing to note is that the major you pick and the college you apply to has something to do with whether you are accepted, or not. If it is a very competitive major, you will have an even harder time getting in, especially since you are coming from an out of state CC.
