Chances after being deferred

<p>I was deferred back in November pending receipt of my semester grades. I applied for summer 2012, had a 24 ACT and 3.3 GPA. I also had really strong essays, 75+ hrs of community service, varsity sports, and more ECs. Since then I have also retaken the ACTs and increased my score to a 25 composite. Here is how my first semester went:</p>

<p>1st Quarter:
Studies of Sexuality: A
Physical Education: A
Microbiology: A
Math: A
Forensic Science: A
Ancient Mythology: A
Psychology: A</p>

<p>2nd Quarter:
Studies of Sexuality: A
Physical Education: B (waiting for other grades to be entered, should be an A)
Microbiology: HIGH B (still waiting for midterm grade, hopefully an A)
Math: A (hopefully will maintain this after midterm)
Forensic Science: A
Ancient Mythology: A
Psychology: A</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me what they think will end up happening? I decided that I am going to hand them my transcripts in person and schedule an appointment with an admissions officer. I am visiting February 16th. I also plan on writing a letter to express my continued interest. Thanks for the help everyone!</p>

<p>As long as you are not an out-of state applicant, I believe you should continue
with all your efforts which you have already listed. I’d strongly suggest that you sign-up for the Jan 28th, SAT test and hopefully an increased SAT score will increase your chances. From what I have read, “USUALLY” being deferred is not a good thing and most deferrals are usually not accepted as most out-of-state applicants are also not accepted. I’d also suggest that you should placing your efforts into another school more suited towards your needs. Good Luck !</p>

Already accepted to fsu, usf, fau, and hofstra so those are my other options.</p>

<p>Looks good to me. Yes, your ACT score is a little low, but your semester grades and subjects seem to balance that out some.</p>

<p>So funny, these are the exact same schools my D applied and was accepted to…and ended up at UCF (after being deferred for semester grades). Good Luck!!! :~)</p>

<p>Ahh that is awesome, what a coincidence! I hope it is the same outcome for me. I did apply for summer, so that should help out a bit. Thank you!! :)</p>
