2018 UCF Acceptance/Scholarship Thread

@Djh1220 According to the UCF common data set- last year they offered waitlist to 4,591 kids, 1,880 accepted, 71 got in. They say they don’t rank, so I assume they pick randomly? That’s a really low number and this year applications to a lot of schools were increased- it is likely they may take even less this year. If you have another school what would be the penalty of putting down a deposit and then withdrew if you got into UCF off the waitlist?

Her other option is Valencia, which she is totally fine with. I just liked her having an option of living in the dorms instead of an apartment her first year. So, fortunately we aren’t losing any money just wished we had a definitive answer.

@Djh1220 I was wailisted as well. But at least I wasn’t rejected. Hopefully your daughter and I get accepted. I was accpeted into Purdue University so I have that as a backup so far. I would just love to go to UCF and take part in their Theme Park Management program.

*waitlisted

Congrats on getting into Purdue, that is a great school, I know bc I’m from Indiana. I agree that waitlisted is a maybe versus a no. Good luck!

How long did take after acceptance to find out if you got scholarship ?

.

@Djh1220 Thank you so much! :smiley:

Anyone else still waiting? My transcript was received over a month go.

@likeclockwork48 I am. I applied early last month and my official and AP transcript were sent a long time ago, too. I still have to send in my IB transcript but I doubt that that’s what’s holding up the decision when they said themselves that it wouldn’t affect it. I heard from friends who applied early in the fall that just got accepted this month, so, hopefully, we aren’t waiting too long!

I was accepted for the Summer 2018 term!! I need to accept my offer by April 6th which is so soon. Do I get to choose which summer session I enroll in?

It would be for Summer B (Jume 25th). Congrats on admission!

@Rollercoasterkid2000 what were your stats? i’m waiting on a decision and i’m getting antsy. i have an 1180 SAT 23 ACT and 3.3 UW -_- i feel like if i do get accepted it would be for summer.

@Rollercoasterkid2000. Did you originally apply for the fall term?

@rah5720 I was told I got the Silver too, but no amounts where listed. Do you know when they tell you the amount?

@Oceanlove I got it in the mail, pegasus silver is $10k over 4 years I believe.

@Cfuchs7

SAT: 1130
GPA UW: 3.5
GPA W: 3.65
111 community service hours

I was waitlisted then offered admission for the Summer 2018 term a few days later. Good luck!! :slight_smile:

@Lynn26 Yes, I applied for the fall term. I was waitlisted then offered admission for the Summer term later.

@Djh1220 Thanks!! :slight_smile: I would love to go to this school but I would actually want a long summer break. My high school is year round so summer break starts in early June and school starts again in mid-July. I would just want a long summer break. I got into Purdue, Cal Poly Pomona, UCF so far and I’m still waiting on decisions from 3 more schools so I have other options. I would love to go to this school but I would rather start in the fall instead of having a 2 week summer break. I also can’t be wailisted for the Fall term again so I either send in my deposit or lose my admission offer :frowning:

@Rollercoasterkid2000 you can do summer classes online if UCF ends up being your first
