I applied as an English major. It’s limited access, but as I said, I’ve made it a point to really try and color up my transcript. I took a senior level Shakespeare class during the Spring semester of my Freshman year, and that’s my only A- so far. I can’t speak for this semester, but I’m taking my second senior level course in Existentialism and I am doing pretty well in it.

UF Admissions is a very weird beast, though. I knew a kid back in high school who got into Harvard but didn’t get into UF. I met another girl about a year ago who had gotten into NYU but not UF. The volume of student applications they get just really mess with the numbers, and I believe the acceptance rate for last year transfer students without an A.A. was something between 14 and 19%? I don’t remember, but you can find it on the school website.

I’ve got my fingers crossed, regardless. Gainesville is a gorgeous college town and it would be a sincere pleasure to attend UF.
