Just called, they said they entered it wrong, I was actually accepted for fall 2022!!!

What was the actual language in your deferral?

Was it a system error because my stats are similar to yours and I’m out of state also.

I honestly have no clue to be honest, When I checked around noon it said I was deferred but then I called and the lady I had spoken too didn’t know what I was talking about because she said from what she saw I was accepted and then I checked MyUcf portal again and it said I was accepted to fall 2018.

I was going to say I was surprised you were deferred.

My daughter’s boyfriend was deferred yesterday also.

We got accepted OOS but no word on any scholarship $. Did they let you know in the portal or was in a subsequent mailing?

@SoCratz If it is offered, it will show up in your portal under “to do list” and you will get a mailing a couple of days later.

@SoCratz should have mentioned that scholarships don’t necessarily happen at the same time as acceptances- so if it isn’t there now it doesn’t mean you won’t get one. Congratulations on your acceptance!

@omarrrr - Congratulations on your scholarship- glad UCF came through, it was worth the wait!

Thanks for the update.

Are you accepting admission? Really want to!

I’m a transfer - any other transfers out there who haven’t heard yet?

I would call because your stats are pretty good

Does anyone know what test scores are needed for a provost and gold scholarship as well as unweighted core gpa? Does UCF offer their own merit scholarship or is it the national merit scholarship thru the psat?

I would guess Gold scholarship is 1400 SAT or over 30 ACT. Not sure GPA is a factor. These are guesses. My son was offered Pegasus Silver and he had an SAT score of 1370.

@kit4kat not sure on exact cutoffs or how SAT/ACT and GPA play into the factoring but for information’s sake D was offered pegasus gold with SAT of 1480 and UW GPA of 3.99 (OOS)

@Lynn26 I did end up calling, waited on the phone for an hour, but got through to an admission counselor and he went through my application with me, put my app in the front of the review line, and that evening I got accepted! I am SO excited to be a knight!! Calling was definitely worth it.

That’s great! Congratulations kmvoss. ! I spoke with the office and they are awaiting my semester grades, so hopefully by next week I will know.

I’m shocked your D wasn’t offered the provost with a 1480: When did you apply? Friend was offered Provost with a 1440…
