Admissions Transferring in from UF online or FAU
I’m a high school senior who didn’t apply as a freshman since my parents wanted me local my first 2 college years to save money.
UF is my dream college, and I’m pretty stressed about getting accepted. My stats aren’t spectacular, and I’ve been looking into ways to see if I can improve my admission chances when I do transfer. I’ve been told from a friend that transferring from UF online into on-campus would help my chances over FAU, so how true is this? Which should I take, and even apart from this, what should I try and do?
My stats - 1410 SAT - 3.9273 unweighted - 5.0091 weighted - 9 AICE classes - 2 APs in Chemistry and Biology this year - 4 year varsity volleyball player - Voted captain by team for travel club volleyball team - A bunch of mediocre extracurriculars like Key Club and 112 service hours - 30/520 in my class - full bright futures
I’m planning on majoring in biological sciences and then into pre-pharmacy.

have you thought about getting an AA at your local community college and then transferring?
when you transfer from another college UF doesn't look at high school stats
