I agree with all of you that sfcc students shouldn’t automatically be allowed into uf by meeting the minimum requirements, but those in the top of their class should certainly get in. When I talked to them about it, they said there were something like only allowed 10 transfer spots after the cutback for business economics which is what I applied for. That gives a very poor chance of getting accepted.

I have decided I want to go to BYU in the winter now though even though I am not mormon. I talked to their admissions and they said I am at an advantage as a non mormon because so few apply and that with my GPA and the other things I told them that I will pretty much get accepted, and BYU school of business has MUCH better recruiting than UF (ibanks that on campus recruit include GS, JPM, D Bank, UBS, ML, BS) does. Even as non mormon it will only cost me about $4000 more per year than UF does for a private and out of state school. In the end I will probably be better off than if I had went through UF. Partying does not help ones GPA.

This time however, I am not going to put all my eggs in one basket and will also apply to other schools including FSU. I will still be a semester ahead of schedule based on my high school class if I start in the winter though.
