@Mom2NND I was thinking there might be consideration for a higher level scholarship but they don’t mention anything higher than Pegasus or Provost. Could it be that I don’t have enough extra curricular or volunteer hours? Or are they based solely on academic achievement?
@omarrrr from what I’ve seen it’s strictly based on test scores, even though they tell you differently.

Bright Futures Lower Tier (I need an 1170 SAT and I got an 1180)
Are you accepting admission?
YES ! If I’m fortunate enough to get accepted.
Please let me know if anyone has similar stats and their status. I’m so anxious, I’ve played almost all my AAU basketball games at UCF so it truly feels like a second home to me. I’m there almost every other weekend. I’ll be heartbroken if I don’t get in.
Also…since I applied for summer, if I get rejected, could I apply again for Fall? I️ am set to take the SAT again March 1st, and my GPA is moving up. I️ slacked off freshman year, but I️ got a 4.3 this semester which definitely helped me move it u. It might be higher than a 3.8 right now, I’m not sure!! If anyone could let me know how the rejection/deferred policy works, that would be great!

Anyone else still waiting for December SAT scores to be processed by UCF? I called and the only answer I was given was that the scores should’ve been processed already, so I emailed asking if they needed more time to process them and I still haven’t heard back from them. Kinda worried about everything filling up before I hear anything back from them.
With applications for Fall 2018 now open, we will start hearing about admission and merit scholarship decisions every day. Keep track here!
