Applying In January??

Hi im a high school senior who plans to apply to ucf in January
my stats
GPA unweighted 3.45 Weighted 3.6
Act score : 20 ( I’m retaking it in february)
I know that if I submit my scores now I will most likely get deferred but I would just like to know if I get my score up will I still have a chance. Thank you :slight_smile:
