I’m starting my freshman year at this fall as an Engineering major, and I’m considering applying to transfer to Michigan Engineering in the future.

I graduated high school with my AA through dual enrollment, so I already have 60+ college credits, including Calc I–III, Physics I, English, speech, humanities, and most/all of my general education requirements.

This fall I’m taking 13 credits:

• Physics II
• Chemistry I
• Intro to Engineering
• Intro to Computer Science

I’m also planning on taking Differential Equations and continuing with the aerospace engineering sequence after that next semester.

My main concern is whether having this many credits already could actually make transferring more difficult. I know some universities limit how many transfer credits they’ll accept or don’t want engineering transfers to be too far into their major sequence (for example, taking courses like Statics).

Has anyone transferred into Michigan Engineering from another 4-year university in a similar situation? Is there a point where you’ve completed too much coursework to be a reasonable transfer applicant?

I’m mainly trying to figure out whether applying after my freshman year would be realistic and how far I should progress through the engineering curriculum at before transferring. Any info abt Michigan’s transfer process would be helpful!

I recently started talking to this guy online, and even though it’s only been a few days, we clicked really fast. We constantly send each other TikToks/reels, have the same humor, he replies quickly, and he’s genuinely really sweet.

The only thing throwing me off is that I feel like there’s an intellectual/emotional connection missing. I’m going into my first year of engineering and I’m pretty driven when it comes to school and my future. When I try to talk about deeper things like college stress, goals, careers, etc., he’s sweet but doesn’t really engage with the conversation.

He’s studying business and when I asked him why he says it’s bc it’s “easy” and “for fun.” Once I asked what he wanted to do after college and after I clarified what I meant, he literally said “work in an office probably” 😭. like he didn’t have that good of an SAT which is why he didn’t get into some colleges but I told him he should at least try to transfer . He goes to a pretty small university in his state so I told him there’s a really good university in his state (and since he’s in state he would even get preferred admission) he could potentially transfer to and he said it was “for nerds,” which threw me off because Idk I like smart people. It feels like I’m too smart and like I’m more mature. But I like having it balanced.

I definitely don’t expect someone our age to have their entire life figured out or go to some prestigious school. I just want someone I can send dumb TikToks to all day AND have deep conversations with at night.

It’s obviously way too early to judge him, but has anyone had great chemistry/humor with someone while feeling like the intellectual/emotional connection was missing? Did it ever develop? Idk am I overthinking 😭

I was thinking of end it but I have no idea how to since he’s rlly rlly nice.

Hi! I’m new to UCF and registration was honestly pretty hectic. I managed to get into some of the classes I wanted (Physics 2, Chem 1, Intro to Computer Science, and Honors Symposium), but I wasn’t able to get into Differential Equations because there were no spots left :/ I graduated high school with my AA and already finished Calc 1–3, Physics 1, and a lot of my gen ed requirements, so I’m really hoping to stay on track and finish my Aerospace Engineering degree as quickly as I can. Is there someone at UCF, like a guidance counselor or specific advisor, who will actually sit down with you and map out your entire degree plan semester by semester? Like, based on the credits I already have, prerequisites, course availability, etc., tell me roughly how many semesters I have left and what I should take each semester? I’ve talked to a few advisors so far, but unfortunately they haven’t been super helpful with actually planning everything out.

I’m also curious about the BS-to-MS/accelerated master’s track. Has anyone here done it, especially for aerospace? Was it worth it, and did it add much time to your degree?

I keep hearing the “UCF = U Can’t Finish” joke but I’m really hoping to get in and out of there as fast as possible lol. Would love to hear from anyone who came in with an AA/a lot of credits or has been in a similar situation! Thanks!

Just curious, has anyone here graduated with an Aerospace Engineering degree and ended up working for an airline? My goal is to work for an airline because I absolutely love traveling. I know most aerospace grads go into defense, space, or manufacturing, but I’m wondering what opportunities exist on the airline side.

If you did end up working for an airline, what role are you in, and how did you get there? Thanks

So I had Honors Orientation at UCF, and honestly, registration was one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve had. I thought we’d each meet with an advisor or be in small groups, but instead there were only a few advisors for around 40 students in one room. They basically handed us a sheet and went through a PowerPoint. To make things worse, none of my dual enrollment credits were showing on my advising sheet, so I had to wait in a long line just to pull up my transcripts on my phone and prove I’d already completed those courses. I already graduated with my AA, so I was looking for guidance on which classes would best fit my remaining degree requirements. Instead, I felt like I was mostly on my own. By the time I figured everything out, classes were filling up fast. I only managed to register for two classes I actually wanted (Physics II and Chemistry I). My other classes are Honors Symposium and some intro to coding class. I was really hoping to take Differential Equations so I could finish my math requirements, especially since I’m considering transferring in the future maybe UF maybe out of state.

My question is does registration get better after your first semester, or do classes always fill up this quickly? I’ve heard UCF is just so big that getting the classes you need can be difficult. I’m an Aerospace Engineering major, and since I already have my AA, I really don’t want to waste credit hours taking classes that don’t move me toward graduation. Thanks

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone who graduated HS with their AA got into University of Florida. For context, I’m in-state in Florida. I graduated with my AA, got a 1400 SAT, tutored on the side, and had multiple extracurriculars and leadership positions in clubs like FBLA.

I’m seeing that it feels like literally everyone got in except me. I know someone with a 1300 who got in for biochem, and they took APs like AP Stats, AP Bio, and AP Chem. I did dual enrollment instead and thought it would be viewed similarly since you get the same college credit. I took Calc 1, 2, and 3, along with Physics 1 with Calculus. I think I’m wrong. I kind of regret taking all dual now since now I’m going to UCF instead.

The thing that surprised me most is that I didn’t even get deferred, just a straight rejection. The same thing happened to one of my friends who also did dual enrollment with me. They had a 1420 and had leadership positions too. Rejected. So yea just wanted to know if anyone like me got accepted with their AA!
