<p>Has anyone else applied for summer, gotten accepted, signed up for orientation, etc?</p>
<p>I had a very low GPA my first two years of high school, I was having a variety of troubles…They were all in the 2.0-2.5 range. I explained what happend in my essay and how I have improved. Last year I began my crawl to improvment with a 3.3 weighted GPA and started taking AP classes. This year I have a 4.1 weighted for the first semester and I am taking two AP classes and other hard classes like Honors Physics and such. All of it appears on my transcripts.</p>
<p>Two reccomendations so far, one counselor (reccomendation form) very high marks, one from a teacher. Hoping to get one more. My counselor focused on my improvment.</p>
<p>E.C. are varsity volleyball, varsity football, robotics club, film club and I have held a job. Would have done more clubs, but hopefully they know how much time a sport consumes…especially football.</p>
<p>CR and math combine sat score was a 1170</p>
<p>Applied for the summer of course. Hopefully they notice my strong upward trend (crap to AP :D) If there is a time in the world decides to show me that anything is possible now would be the best.</p>
<p>Deferred:
2.8 weighted GPA (messed up Freshman year)
SAT: 1180/1830 (retook it in November, results come next week)
ACT: 27 (with writing)</p>
<p>It’s a little ironic that they tell me they want my next semester scores today, because its the last day of school for me this trimester (private schools). I believe my GPA for this trimester will end up around 3.7/4, so hopefully that will get me in.</p>
<p>HurricaneKid, since we are in the same boat GPA wise I was wondering how many recommendations did you have? Also what about your EC’s? Also when did you submit you application?</p>
<p>2 letters from teachers, and 1 from my college advisor.</p>
<p>ECs: Student legislature for 3 years (including cabinet position), theater for 2 years (acting and directing), Journalism for 3 years (magazine and web news writer, panelist, co-host and eventually producer of school radio show) and 135+ service hours. There are more, but those are the biggest ones. I’m to tired to remember the rest.</p>
<p>I submitted my application probably around the beginning of October, but they didn’t get my transcript until the second half of the month.</p>
<p>Alright, thanks! Looks like I have a very solid shot. You might have a lot mreo clubs but hopefully my sports count a good bit because I had very little time to do any clubs.</p>
<p>Honestly, don’t bust your ass and join all those clubs. Focus on your GPA and test scores more. That’s what UCF look at. They have way too many applicants so they tend to look at GPA/SAT/ACT more than anything.</p>
<p>Got my an update last week about the decesion being deffered until I can provide more competetive SAT results. (Math and writing weren’t the best) Does that mean that if I can bring them up I’ve got a pretty good chance of getting in? I don’t want to keep retaking it for no reason. I just retook the SAT and have a really good feeling about it actually.</p>
<p>^
Deferring is good. It means they see potential in you. But did you say your CR and M score for the SAT was 1170? I’m confused as to why they deferred you because of your scores and not GPA… especially when you’re applying for summer term, as well.</p>
<p>I have a couple updates. I bumped my GPA up from a 2.82 to a 2.95 (my trimester GPA was a 4.03) and my new SAT scores are 1230/1930. Anyone mind chancing me?</p>
<p>Not too sure myself. My math and writing weren’t too hot, but I retook it and hopefully it will come back better. At least I know I still have hope even with the sorry GPA. This is grueling as hell waiting for all these test scores and hoping that I score higher. Idk how long they will wait around for me to score better haha.</p>
<p>Just got accepted today for Summer 2011.
GPA: 3.8
ACT: 24 (Recently retook it though so I don’t know if this will be my highest score.)
SAT: 1500 (Terrible I know.)
Had 1 letter of recommendation.
I believe I had strong essays.
:)</p>
<p>Looks like the summer decisions are coming through. Since UCF is getting an idea now on how many applicants are going to UF, they are handing out their summer decisions.</p>
