Hi everyone! I’m a first-year at USF. I was admitted to UF for Fall 2026 but had to withdraw for financial and family reasons. Things are stable now, and I want to transfer into UF Biomedical Engineering.

I just met with the UF BME advisor. Here’s what I learned:

• BME admits only about 5 to 7 transfers a year (2 to 3 per term) out of roughly 30 applicants per term.
• Priority order: Florida state/community college AA students first, then Florida public universities without a BME program, then everyone else. USF has BME, so I’d be in the last group.
• You need an AA degree plus all 10 required courses (Calc 1 to 3, Diff Eq, Physics 1 and 2, Gen Chem 1 and 2, Orgo 1, Bio 1), with a 3.5+ GPA in those courses to be competitive.
• My previous UF admission doesn’t count for anything.
• Summer and spring are less competitive than fall.

He suggested taking my required courses at a state college to improve my chances. So I’m debating:

1. Stay at USF and apply from there, probably with very low odds.
2. Move to a state college (like HCC or Pasco-Hernando), finish my AA and the required courses there, and apply as a priority applicant, maybe for Spring 2027 or Summer 2027.
3. Stay at USF and either major in BME there, or apply to a less competitive UF engineering major like MechE.
4. Stay at USF and complete my AA at a state college and complete required courses at USF and as a transient student, apply for Spring 2027.

Questions:

• Has anyone transferred into UF BME, especially from a state college or from another university? What was your GPA?
• Is leaving a four-year university for a state college worth it to get transfer priority?
• If you were me, which option would you choose?

Any honest advice is appreciated. Thank you!

Is it fine that in-person students get a fully multiple choice exam while online students only get half the exam as multiple choice? The fill in the blanks are just taking me out 😭

I’m not sure where to post ab this but I’m trying to find a girl that needs a place in spring or sooner. I’ve posted on LeaseMe but are there other sites? How do I get in touch with new students at innovation academy without being an annoyance or bother?

Everybody is saying UF is looking for 1500s now, and they’re going to use ED to fill their class with 1500 students. But I only have a 1470! And now I’m really worried…

Hi everyone! I'm currently a student at FIU and I'm planning on applying to UF as a Marketing transfer for Fall 2027.

I graduated high school with my AA from Miami Dade College through dual enrollment and currently have a 4.0 college GPA. I'm also in FIU's Honors College and plan to have all seven business prerequisites completed by Spring 2027.

I was actually accepted to UF as a freshman for Fall 2026 but ultimately decided to attend FIU. Now I'm reconsidering and would really love to transfer.

I was wondering if anyone here has successfully transferred from FIU to UF, especially into Warrington's business programs.

How competitive was the transfer process? Did you have all your prerequisites completed when you applied? Also, does having an AA from MDC help even if I'm currently attending FIU?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thank you!!

how long can my friend stay in my dorm considering theyre visiting and my roommate is chill for however long? theyre gna b here for a week and i was wondering if ill get any trouble from the RA’s or any housing people

Hi everyone! So I’m currently a freshman Finance major but considering switching to Statistics because I want to build stronger quantitative skills and eventually land a high-paying, quantitative job. I’m trying to figure out whether a BS in Statistics from UF is worth it career-wise and what opportunities it can realistically lead to.

I’d love to hear from current students and graduates, especially those who have landed well-paying jobs or internships.

A few questions:
What kinds of jobs and internships have you landed, and what are realistic starting salaries?

Have you been able to get into quantitative research, risk analysis, data science, or other high-paying analytical roles with just a bachelor’s degree? Like do you think you had to spend a lot of your own time learning technical skills because it wasn’t covered as part of the major requirements?

How accessible are recruiters, career fairs, and internship opportunities to Statistics students in CLAS as opposed to maybe Business or Engineering students? Do you feel UF provides enough recruiting support for Stats majors, even outside the business or engineering colleges?

Do you think Statistics is a good choice for maximizing career opportunities and earning potential, or would you recommend a more specialized field like Finance, Data Science, or another major instead?

Do you regret your choice, and is there anything you wish you’d known beforehand?

I’d really appreciate honest advice about career outcomes, recruiting, and whether the degree has been worth it!

I’m trying to find merch from football games where we went against Miami and won. I know sometimes they would make clothes with the score or shirts to commemorate the win. If anyone could point me in a direction to find this it would be greatly appreciated!

can anyone who lives near royal village or tuscana apts or oxford terrace tell me how safe the area is? trying to figure out where i’ll live next year

I’ve really been struggling in chem1, and I was hoping for advice from someone who wasnt really good at Chem at first but found a specific routine or method to be rlly effective.

thanks

Will michael todd himself from the engineering department hunt me down if i cheat on him (we have advisors assigned based on letter of last name)

I’m a 3rd year trying to make my plan for the rest of my semesters here and I want to be done w/ these classes next fall to have my senior spring free to study for the MCAT. Are any of them more manageable to take together? Is PHY2054 + Calc 1 doable in the summer? I’ve heard against taking Biochem in the summer so just want to hear how others recommend spreading these classes out

I’ve been stressing about whether I’m going to get in or not, Uf is basically the only school I wanna go to atp. I applied in state and early decision.

Every AI (which I know probably isn’t the best method) has told me I have like a 30-35% chance of getting in but that seems a bit insane.

I have a 1560 sat and a 33 act (which I accidentally reported lol). Unfortunately, I got a lot of Bs in sophomore year and only have a 4.375 which is why I’m worried. My class rank is only like 110/580 which is far from the median to UF. My extracurriculars are above average and my essays were pretty good, but I’m worried that they’ll disregard my application bc of my gpa. I’m in IB and have taken 9 aps.

Has anyone been rejected with similar stats?

Hey i’m not sure if this is the right place to find this. But i’m a fourth year transfer student that has also done a study abroad semester while enrolled at UF. Meaning I haven’t actually been at UF for the majority of my undergrad. I’ve started to realize that i’m not as connected with groups or student life as i’d like. I’d love to get involved with some groups in terms of going out and spending time with others. Any suggestions or groups that would like to take me under their wing? If it matters i’m a 22 m biology premed. I frequent the gym, have started calisthenics recently, i love travel, photography, going to bars, etc etc. Please help me out here. I feel too cooped up at the moment and could really use some more friends.

I know Club Fair already passed -- can I still create a club? Should I wait for the spring semester, or even next year?

And why?

Hi! Can someone tell me more about the Food Chemistry class and how hard it is? I am a microbio major, so I don't necessarily need to take it, but I am interested in getting into food science. Also, how's the lab for it? I think it would be interesting to do a class in the pilot plant. Thanks!

I'm ensuring my research is accurate; UF ranks 34 out of all universities in the United States, yes? So I just glance at their job postings for >>let me mind you no more than 2 minutes<< and I have spotted at least 1 thing requiring a UF employee to ensure my detail-analysis is not wrong, whilst the rest are just really bad job description grammar.

Here are my criticisms and grievances:

- Grievance 1. On the first stanza of the job description, it should print the following in quote to be grammatically accurate without subtracting the job application's original wording:

"Cleans and maintains on a daily basis all halls, offices, shops, classrooms, restrooms, conference rooms, labs, gym areas, locker rooms, and elevators, which includes: sweeping, dusting, dust-mopping, wetmopping, spot-mopping, reconditioning of floors and spot washing and cleaning of walls, doors, and partitions.".

The only other alternative is for HR or whoever proofread this job posting (to be immediately drug and alcohol tested) re-work this job description, or just get someone who can (like me) do it for free and better than all of your staff and HR combined. Then hire me, and watch all the clown shows start packing up and moving away.

- Discrepancy 1: is it "striping" or stripping? The job description on stanza 2 is clearly communicating the floor maintenance standards and expectations. I've done industrial cleaning and I've never heard of "striping" unless you're painting striped lines on blacktop, asphalt, or concrete. I need clarification from HR and related leadership on this wording. If it's "striping", then ignore this discrepancy. If it's "stripping", PLEASE do a delta tango (drug test) on whoever was leadership, HR, proofread and approved this job application.

- Grievance 2. Please view the "special instructions to applicants:" partition of the job posting. Tell me dear netizens, tell me what is wrong with this following sentence:

"Multiple vacancies will be fill from this posting.]".

What in the five flying skies is a right bracket doing in a job posting? The ] is NOWHERE near the period key. Fire ALL HR, leadership, and replace them all with Gen Z with Bachelor's or Master's degrees RIGHT NOW. You better know ninth grade English if you're mandating it on a job and my livelihood as the applicant, depends on you not flunking school at the rate of a15-year-old.

I hope HR reads this reddit post of mine, hires me, and puts me in charge of leadership. This is unacceptable from a top 30 university. All HR here needs a drug and alcohol test NOW and every 30 days/1 calendar month (to include months like February). I know my stuff, if I do my job wrong I get fired. Why do you get to do your job wrong and not get fired? Hire me. I don't get the excuse of flunking school, my dad didn't allow it.

Also this is a facilities position, you should encourage your employees to use the NATO alphabet and have a complete understanding of military time. What if someone is on the radio and you need to distinguish B, V, E, T, Q? If your employees do not know the Julian Calendar, the NATO alphabet, and military time, I demand all HR and leadership be FIRED, and put me in charge and watch this entire campus be SPOTLESS. I mean military sarge spotless.

Also, if anybody has an index recommendation I’d be super grateful - I’ve been struggling with creating one.

I’m doing ED to uf!!! I’m so excited but I’m a little worried my sat is on the lower side it’s a 1420 and my recalculated gpa would be a 4.2 . Do I have a shot? I have really good essays

Is anyone missing this kitty near Pugh Hall at UF? I feed the campus cats there, and I’ve never seen this kitty before, and they seem quite lost, scared, and friendly. Please share, and if you recognize this cat, please reach out!

About to send out college applications as a dual-enrolled student at the end of my junior year. Currently thinking about an Ivy League, but UF is my backup school. What does everyone think my odds are for UF (or Ivy League if you've known anyone who's gone)?

Academics:

1500 SAT (780 in math), 4.8 weighted GPA, 4.0 unweighted, 78 college credits.

Club Involvement:

College Student Government VP, head delegate of a nationally recognized Model UN team (one of the top five-ish community college teams in the world), president of a college engineering club currently competing nationally with top universities, and president of a campus programming club.

Awards and Recognitions:

Intercollegiate debate champion (top record in the comp history), accepted into two highly elite international leadership programs with under 50 students accepted, Eagle Scout, and Intercollegiate programming competition champion.

Community Involvement:

200+ hours of community service, an internship with a local policy organization (a team comprised of grad and undergrad students) where I chaired an intercollegiate conference, a long-time volunteer with a hospice organization, and teaching two eleven-week courses for middle schoolers (one on speech and another on programming).

This is most of my active involvement. I've never played any sports but I'm thinking of competing in a body building comp soon-ish. I also have a programming portfolio with some pretty advanced operating system and game engine design projects, but most of them are over a year old.

I think my odds are pretty good, but I'd like to see everyone's thoughts. I'm also open to any suggestions of things I could add/focus extra on to improve my app.

Thanks, everyone!

EDIT: this is not a prank post btw genuinely curious about my odds. Homeschooled my whole life if that explains anything
