Chances after being deferred?

<p>I was deferred on the first round of admissions. I get an answer back on March 14th I believe pending new SAT/ACT scores and midterm senior grades. Here's my current stats.</p>

<p>3.2 GPA / 3.88 Weighted (ALL honors, a few AP)
26 ACT (Up from a 24, FSU shows 27 now)
1070/1680 SAT (Just took this past Saturday)
75+ Hours community service.
Enrolled in the Engineering Program since freshmen year in high school.</p>

<p>I sent in my midterm grades (3.7 weighted) and my new ACT (now 27). I didn't send my ACT previously, I don't know why, so I'm sure that had an affect on the decision. Anyways, what are my chances now coming in March? I got accepted to USF and their College of Engineering with a scholarship, yet waitlisted at UCF.</p>

<p>Your GPA is probably fine. The SAT score is so-so by FSU standards. Have you already sent it to them? I’m no expert but I think I’d consider only sending them the GPA and ACT, which looks better.</p>

<p>He would have had to have had either his ACT or SAT on file, and since he didn’t send in his ACT I would guess that would mean he had sent in his SAT score. </p>

<p>OP, if you were deferred before your ACT score wouldn’t have necessarily been a make-or-break. If you ever received a grade below a C in any course, that likely would have been the reason for being deferred (no matter what your GPA or SAT/ACT was). We’ve seen people report this year that getting 1 D or F on their transcripts was enough to keep them from getting in even with absolutely stellar profiles.</p>

<p>Sorry I didn’t include that earlier. All FSU had originally was my SAT score and transcript. I’ve received a D twice on a six weeks grade but never has it shown up on my transcript as my final semester grade was a C I believe. I’m hoping the fact that I maintained my GPA this semester, my 27 ACT and hopefully my higher SAT (when it becomes available) will help sway their decision.</p>
